Depression may be described as a lack of energy or vitality and is characterised by, a lack of interest in life, a lack of enthusiasm and diminished libido.

The causes of depression are many and there are many contributing factors such as poor health, malnutrition, loss and sadness. A major cause of depression not generally recognized is injustice and inequality.

For teens growing up in a world where they have no rights or security, the idea of becoming a responsible adult very daunting. Of course they grow into a very unequal world.

While a child born in the slums of Calcutta displays an amazing zest for life and is just glad to be alive, in western cultures may well be depressed due to the negativity of western culture. So really depression is a social disease.

The cure is therefore to be found in eliminating social disease.
