    the common thread of depression is the experience of loss without possibility of

    recovery. the loss may de physical, as in the case of death of divorce or disease. the

    loss may also be psychological as when we feel we have lost our selfrespect or a sense

    of trust in another. depression is based upon the belief that some object, person, or

    atribute considered essential for our sense of well being is no longer within our reach.

    Once depression sets in a vicious cycle develops. The depressing episode affects

    adversely the persons image of him/herself. He beings to judge himself negatively as

    if the problem situation is and will be characteristic of all future interactions with other

    people or with life in general. The individual begins to expect failure, loneliness, or a

    continued feeling of inadequacy or inferiority for the rest of his life.

    Expecting such negative out comes, she behaves in ways that makes such outcomes

    that much more likely. Confronted with continued problems (tipically without an

    understanding of how one is actively provoking more of the same), her self-esteem isassaulted even further. This, in turn, makes it even harder to work or relate to others.

    As her sense of optimism and self-confidence deteriorate even further, sadness,

    apathy, and a sense of helplessness take root. With this, comes a rapid loss of vitality,

    energy and desire to live.

    Those who suffer from depression talk of a physical sensation of heaviness, lethargy,

    and of a inability to get going. Depression can literally knock a person off his feet.

    These are real sensations, not imagined or a reflection for someone feeling sorry for

    himself.

    It is tipically those people who have the highest and most rigid expectations for

    themselves and for others that are most prone to depression. frequently, the

    expectations are unrealistic and practically impossible to archieve (for instance I

    should never get angry or theses no way in the world that she would disappoint

    me). When lifes events run contrary to these expectations, (wich usually evolve into

    demands), one is then confronted with that depressing sense of loss. Rather than

    reevaluate the standards of demands they have, they rigidly defend those standards at

    the cost of their emotional health.

    Depression requires considerable psychological work. Even if one uses

    antidepressants, ones relationship with him/herself and with others needs

    modification. At some level, depression is curative. It give us a chance to take stock of

    our self and of those with whom we are most intimate. The depression is a painfully

    clear reflection of where we have held on too strong and/or stubbornly to an ideal of

    ourself, to someone or to something.

    de inferioridad para el resto de su vida.
