We have all noticed it happen. You feel strangely disconnected from objects and people one day as if an unseen wall of glass isolates you from them. You continue about your routine, but for some reason, none of it matters to you anymore. You could yell, but what good would that do? You are really not worth it, and others' kind efforts are a legitimate reproach.

The wall gets a little thicker every day. You will soon be unable to leave your home, your bedroom, or your bed. You are left with nothing but the agony of existing. You don't eat, bathe, or sleep anymore. You are both agitated and fatigued at the same time. Some of us know what it means, while some are still figuring it out. Those who know realize that these are all signs of depression. We have all witnessed similar experiences in memoirs or in the countless newspaper pieces about this unusual condition. A depressed person could be a relative, a neighbor, or a coworker. Anxiety and depression are issues that cloud eyesight and impair thinking while robbing people of their happiness and pleasure.

Everyone experiences sadness or anxiety from time to time and unpleasant emotions are a common occurrence in life. But, it's time to act if sadness or anxiety is interfering with your career, enjoyment, or relationships.
