Depression seems to be more prevalent today than it was years ago, and it affects people of all ages and all socio-economic levels. Obviously, depression is a problem for the sufferer, but it can also be difficult for others who are associated with the depressed individual. The intensity of depression can vary from mild to extremely severe (where it can lead to serious problems, including suicide). Causes of depression are also varied, and include chemical imbalances, reactions to medication being administered for other purposes, stress and mental disorders. Traditional pharmaceuticals often rely on a limited number of available anti-depressive drugs, such as Prozac™, to treat the patient. Drugs like Prozac™ work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the neuro-transmission system. However, these orthodox treatments may have unpredictable results, and also can have significant side-effects for a large number of users, including nausea, diarrhea and sexual dysfunction.
