What is Depression?
Depression is a disorder that afflicts over 10% of the world's population, but we as a society know little about it. Stereotypes tell us that depressed people are weak, unless they happen to be a tortured artist. It can be difficult to understand depression because it's invisible. It's a disorder defined by thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, rather than obvious symptoms like vomiting, rashes, or fever. Those who have experienced depression are all too familiar with comments from misguided friends such as, snap out of it, or just get up and do something. Even those with depression might have a hard time understanding what they are experiencing, and they often blame themselves for not being able to snap out of it. To understand what depression really is, we need to talk about symptoms.

A Whole New Ball Game: Pressed “Prescription” Pills
Author foreword I got sober nearly 5 years ago. At this time pills were considered a “safe” option in terms of risk of overdose. You knew what you were getting. You bought Xanax, you knew you were getting Xanax. You bought oxycodone, that what you were getting. It was a miserable life of addiction, but things were slightly safer. The risk of overdose was always looming, but to a smaller degree. I came across a few pressed pills near the end of my using days, and they were immediately identifiable as fake. Chalky, misshaped, etc.

Self Conversation
Talking to yourself is a common behavior that many people engage in on a daily basis. It involves verbalizing thoughts and narrating your experiences, often referred to as self-talk or inner speech. This type of self-expression is different from visualizing or recalling information, as it specifically involves directing your thoughts towards yourself or some aspect of your life.

My Journey Inside Seven Twisted Psyches
The psychopath test classifies a wide spectrum of persons as psychopaths. Paul embodies the stereotypical psychopath: a natural-born crook who seems to revel in spreading havoc everywhere he goes. However, not all psychopaths fit Paul's description. For every psychopath like Paul, there is another whose antisocial conduct is the product of bad luck rather than premeditated malice. Danny was in this situation.
