Depression is not the same for everyone, so there is no one solution. We have found that depression can be caused by anything from hormones to neurotransmitters to nutrition to illness. That is why it is so important to take an individualized, balanced approach to wellness and fighting your depression.   Some of these resources may work for you, some may not.   The important thing is that you do what works and tailor a plan that is right for you.
