Clinical Depression effects people in different ways and while some people can carry on in life while dealing with severe depression others cannot seem to mustard up enough mental energy to get out bed, let alone take a shower and go out side.

I have been on both sides of depression with in the last twelve years of my life and I can honestly say that both are real.
