Depression is that mental state characterized by low mood and anhedonia. It affects individuals’ thoughts, behavior, and motivation. It is expressed through individuals’ feelings and a substandard sense of well-being. It is by far the number one underlying cause of suicide.
Depression may occur due to a number of reasons, and understanding it adequately will determine how well and successfully we treat it. The pitfall is that we often get trapped in the illusion of familiarity. Simply put, the prior experience of a stimulus can produce a feeling of familiarity through an unconscious inference. Do not let the illusion of familiarity fool you.
