This program explains the differences between occasional and realistically motivated mood changes and depression, and within the category of depression, different levels of severity. Clinical depression cannot be overcome by willing it away but requires treatment whose nature depends on the severity of the disease: chemicals that control but do not cure depression; psychotherapy; in severe cases, electro-convulsive therapy.
