Depression is sometimes referred to as the "Black Dog". Just like a real dog, it needs to be embraced, understood, taught new tricks and ultimately brought to heel. 

Depression can happen to anybody. If you are in difficulty, never be afraid to ask for help. There is absolutely no shame in doing so. Recognizing depression and seeking help is the first and most critical step towards recovery.
