Thanks for the Guidelines...
Many people won't speak about their depression. Don’t let depression consume you. Reduce that stress around your shoulders. There are types of depressions, but all have the same common roots. Don't hesitate to take help and assistance. I want to share a self help program which will help in treating depression .
