Isearch-Why

I choose to research depression as my topic, because my mother has suffered with the disease for several years. The word depression had always been in the back of my mind, but recently I've realized how little I actually know about it. I was right by my mother's side all of those years, but it was something that we just didn't talk about as a family. It was no secret in my household that something wasn't right. We knew my mother wasn't happy and my father was very involved, but my brother and I seemed to try to block it out. We went on with our lives trying to keep everything as normal as we possibly could. I think it was just easier not knowing so I didn't ask the questions. Now that I'm older I have lots of questions I would like to get answers to.
  • What causes depression?
  • Is there cure? Does it get better?
  • Is it hereditary?
  • Could it be prevented? How?
  • What is the difference in all the meds
  • What is an ECT treatment?
  • Is ECT really healthy for a person in the long run?

  1. And do these questions pertain directly to your mother? If so, that should be clear, and if not, you're heading off track into a standard research paper.
