Description

When the negative reactions to life`s situations become repetitively intense and frequent,  we develop symptoms of depression.  Life throws up innumerable situations, which we greet with both negative and positive emotions such as excitement, frustration, fear, happiness, anger, sadness and joy.  Depression is prevalent among all age groups, in almost all walks of life. Persons of any age—children or adults, may develop depression symptoms.  Even minor stress events can stir up depression symptoms depending on the personality type.  Symptoms such as intense sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities, sleep disturbances or oversleeping, change in appetite and decreased energy level; feelings of helplessness and thoughts of suicide are sequels to stress induced depression.In the present video, Narrator & Co-ordinator Jessica Rowe with Dr Nicole Highet and Professor Ian Hickie explores this syndrome with live examples of Garry Mac Donald, Rob Mason, Alison Bailey, Ken Coleman, Seema Maharaj, Elenore Burtsa, Anna & Alana Pekar and Ingrid Ozols.
