Many of us are unaware of the symptoms of depression which includes feeling of desperation, compulsive negative thoughts, increased or decreased appetite, insomnia or an increased need for sleep, being apart socially, frequent irritation, loss of memory and low concentration, interest towards suicide and death. It is good to think that depression is sadness and the causes of depression will vanish as a consequence negative feeling will subside. However, never take the causes of depression very easily.

Seasonal problem may also cause depression. It is known that deprive of light and warmth in winter season and the person become depressed as a consequence not suffering from cold bite but actuality have the problem from shorter days and longer night.
