Analysis of Depression 2
Some depression is functional.
Causes are situational.
The locked in past thoughts now must rupture.
Therapy for cognitive "restructure."
Some depression is clinical:
Brain imbalance is chemical.
Medicines can place back in order,
Pharmaceutics chosen reconnoiter.
Some mental states seem recondite
Where pain and sorrow is the plight.
Through examination all can learn
Origins and remedies to discern.
