		<description><![CDATA[Depression in Men   Men are not like women.  Yes, I know that this is stunning news.  Alert the media! It’s true though; men are different from women in more ways than one would normally think.  Due to their differences they are more vulnerable to some serious side effects of depression. ‘Vulnerable’ isn’t a word that’s often associated with males and that’s part of the problem. Men, as a rule, do not talk about their feelings.  They don’t like to be thought of as vulnerable, weak, in need of help, or fragile. A man is much less likely to confide in a friend, a co-worker, spouse or medical professional that they are feeling depressed. Depression affects men as well as women, yet the medical profession sees much fewer men than women because men do not seek help for this condition as much as their female counterparts do. Men feel the need to be powerful, in control, competitive and often neglect their mental health in the process of being ‘manly’.  Men have traditionally had the role of being tough and self-reliant, and sometimes the women in their lives hold that same view of the male role.  A man wanting to talk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Types of Depression   You’re down and feeling blue.  Someone ate all your chocolate ice cream or moved your cheese or something has simply made you feel bad. Perhaps things are not going well at work with your boss and you’re worried a pink slip is in your near future.  Are you depressed?  Maybe.  Is it serious? Probably not.   There are different types of depression, according to the AMA.  Some can be quite serious and require medication, other’s are fleeting, lasting a few days to a week and are situational in origin. Here are the some types of depressive disorders recognized by the AMA. Major Depression.  This depression is recognized by a persistent sadness and some experience the inability to experience any pleasure in their lives. A Major Depression isn’t fleeting—it’s constant and interferes with a person’s life.  They might miss work, family gatherings and if severe may not leave home at all. A depressive episode of this magnitude can be treated medically.  If it’s not taken care of it may last up to six months or more.  If they’re lucky a person could experience a severe depressive episode such as this once in their lifetime.  Unfortunately it’s more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chemical Depression You’re feeling kind of down.  You’re not exactly certain why you don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning and after all, that’s a fairly common feeling isn’t it?  The desire to ignore the alarm clock when it goes off and pull the covers over your head and sleep the day away is something everyone experiences at some point in their life.  It doesn’t mean you’re depressed or that there’s something wrong in your head does it?   If the feeling of sadness, inability to engage in your usual activities, desire to sleep more than usual or not sleep at all, loss of appetite or increased desire to eat and these symptoms last more than two weeks, then yes—you may be suffering a major depressive episode. Depression can be triggered by many things; by situations, by hormonal imbalances and yes depression can also be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.  The exact chemical imbalances and their relationship to depression are not fully understood, but great strides have been made in the past few years.   People who are suffering from anxiety and depression all seem to have the same chemical imbalances in common.  These [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What Is Anxiety Anxiety is a physiological state causing feelings of fear, apprehension and worry. These feelings are as common as happiness and joy. Studies are suggesting anxiety is a protective mechanism. It could be our body&#8217;s way of warning us against participation in potentially harmful situations. Basically what happens is our minds perceive danger. This may be real or imagined. Our body reacts to this threat by preparing for action. Heart rate and blood pressure rise to increase the blood flow to the major muscle groups. Sweating is increased to help maintain body temperature. When the threat is only imagined, these bodily functions lead to the common, unpleasant physical symptoms of anxiety. These include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, nausea and chills. Sigmund Freud said anxiety was asignal of danger which results in physical defensive behaviors. These defensive behaviors are meant to enable our bodies to overcome whatever danger is threatening us. He believed we get these anxious feelings from traumatic experiences, and then reinforce the feelings through classical conditioning. When we see or feel something we associate with a previous traumatic experience, we feel a resurgence of the anxiety these situations caused. Emotionally, we feel a [...]]]></description>
