Discover the truth about depression and learn how to lift it quickly
Rates of depression are soaring
The World Health Authority report ‘The Global Burden of Disease’ estimates that depression is set to be second only to heart disease as a cause of injury and disease world wide by the year 2020. Rates of depression have risen almost a thousand percent since 1945. It’s rising in all age groups but particularly in the young. People have tried to explain depression as a ‘chemical imbalance’ or a ‘genetic condition’, but there is little evidence for this.
What is causing depression?
Numerous studies show that depression is not primarily events-driven. It’s less about what happens to a person than about how they respond to what happens to them.
All the latest scientific research shows that depressed people over-dream – they spend up to three times longer in the REM state than people who are not depressed.
