EXISTENTIAL DEPRESSION is a MANUAL OF SELF HELP featuring essays, articles and literature on the experience of life-related sadness. It puts together in one volume information and tips of self-help to refer back to. Existential depression has not been widely researched. It is a new hypothesis. This book presents the theories which explore the negative forces that drive an individual to worry to much about his or her life's "meaninglessness", sense of aloneness, human fears and failures. Such forces represent powerful influences in shaping or affecting our mental well being. It has been noted that gifted people are more inclined to go through a type of depression referred to as 'existential depression'.
