According to the DSM-IV-TR which stands for diagnostic and statistical Manual of Mental disorders, a clinical case of depression is a disorder of both mental and physical characteristics of a person. According to DSM a person suffering from depression will stay in that state for a minimum of two weeks. An individual when found in the state of depression often ends up not working and will find it difficult to adjust with any social network or at the work place. In such a situation people are negatively disturbed and cannot cope with the responsibilities and end up withdrawing themselves.

A research even states that at any given time in the United States around 16 percent people are found to be in depression. This condition can also lead to disability throughout the nation. If these figures keep on rising then towards the end of 2020 the second major cause for disability will be depression all over the globe, that’s an estimate made by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The rate
at which depression is growing is very high. The need for a treatment has become a necessity for everyone of us. Before we find out about the treatment we must first understand why we are getting ourselves into depression. A depressed mood or loss of interest in something is still acceptable as a temporary depression period caused by minor problems. The extreme cause of depression can be caused when a person is feeling sad excessively or he or she has a certain kind of fear. Gaining and losing weight at a very high rate without external physical involvement is another reason. A situation of helplessness, guilt for some reason, decrease in self esteem and many more conditions are root causes of depression.

The only way to get rid of depression fast is you start realizing it. Then you can take actions to control it. Seek medical attention right away, if you have a regular doctor talk to them about it, many doctors now can help you cope or recommend treatment options for you. Do not think it will just go away on it's own, that mistake can cost you and your love ones.
