Abstract
Depression is a medical illness that interferes with an individual's capacity to deal with day to day activities. Our society has a habit of shunning the topic of mental illness and treating it as a taboo. Through our research paper, we have explained the causes, symptoms and different treatments available in India to cure Depression. A lot of researchers devote their careers to investigating this subject. The issue becomes vital, since the number of young people with depressive symptoms is constantly on the rise. They include mood swings, explosiveness, propulsion disorders, puissance, insomnia, concentration problems etc. These might be the first symptoms of depression as well. It is impossible to point to one cause of depression because it is a disease conditioned by many different factors, ranging from independent factors like genetic, biological, hormonal, through the influence of the family or the environment influence and socio-cultural components. Teens are more likely to reach for different kinds of stimulants like alcohol, cigarettes or drugs etc. The Chair and Department of Environmental Medicine and Epidemiology.
