There has been much written about neuroplasticity. Sharon Begley discusses this model in relationship to the treatment of depression and for recovery from stroke and other traumas. Children, teens and adults can rewire their brains to decrease and diminish their depression and fear to form new brain connections that guide them to joy, passion, well-being and accomplishment. It is helpful to visualize Mark Twain's image of the wind blowing though the mind. One might extend his metaphor to see that we actually have the power to change the weather forecast. We might focus on soft, warm tropical winds, dramatic and voluminous clouds and sun that warms us and keeps us safe. We might imagine feeling vibrant and full of exuberance like this turtle here swimming in the sunlit clear waters. In doing this we protect ourselves from harsh winds or tornadoes that might swirl and confuse us.

Let there be no doubt that depression is a serious mental illness that sometimes requires months and years of treatment on the road to a cure. Hippocrates referred to depression as melancholia, which literally means black bile. Black bile, along with blood, phlegm, and yellow bile were the four humors (fluids) that described the basic medical physiology theory of that time. Depression, also referred to as clinical depression, has been portrayed in literature and the arts for hundreds of years, but what do we mean today when we refer to a depressive disorder?
