From anxiety springs depression which, some say, is like a great black beast that dogs your footsteps every where you go. To others it is the heavy black bird hunched immovably on your shoulder. Some people cure it with sleep and others by taking a bottle of whisky beneath the table. For those who have not suffered it there is no way to describe the mood of meaningless black despair.

Minor despair or glumness of the spirit can be mitigated however. Often it is as a result of a vitamin B (particularly B6) deficiency or it may be an allergy which triggers an unhappy reaction. Some people suffer from acute depression after taking antibiotics. If you realize that what appeared to be only a bad case of down it the dumps is becoming fearsome find someone to chat to. Do not take tranquillizers for they are not the answer.
