HALE TO THE CHEATS

Yeah, I wrote HALE...not heil, or hail....

Cheats and cheating have taken dominant place in Pinoy society these days....
Thanks to the great faker of them all, the Master Cheat herself and her husband: bluebird,
who hated being labeled the godfather of smuggling by a Newspaper columnist.

HALE, the medical bulletin says:

Definition
A depressive disorder is defined by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
as an illness that involves the body, mood and thoughts. It encompasses feelings of overwhelming sadness and despair that persist or intensify over time.
Description
Occasional feelings of unhappiness or sadness are normal, but when such feelings dominate everyday life causing physical and mental deterioration, they are termed depressive disorders. In Caring For The Mind, The Comprehensive Guide to Mental Health, Dianne and Robert Hales state that comparing everyday blues to clinical depression is like comparing a cold to pneumonia. Nearly 19 million American adults, approximately 10% of the population, suffer from depression in any given year. Less than one of three of these will ever pursue, or receive, medical care. In a survey conducted by the National Mental Health Association, it was found that nearly half of those surveyed believed that depression was not an illness, but rather a personal emotional weakness. However depressive disorders are valid illnesses that require treatment and can literally be life-threatening: Fifteen percent of all people diagnosed as being depressed actually do commit suicide. Thirty percent may make unsuccessful attempts.
Categories of depression include:• major depression
seasonal affective disorder
bipolar disorder
dysthymia
depression due to a general medical condition
postpartum depression
substance-induced depression
Major depression
Major depression can be mild, moderate or severe, and the rating of its severity is based upon the number of symptoms the person has, and how seriously these symptoms affect their lives. Typical symptoms are:
lack of interest in once-enjoyable activities
loss or gain of weight
difficulty concentrating or making decisions
feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness
changes in sleep patterns, either insomnia or hypersomnia
