This document discusses depression, its causes and symptoms. It notes that depression exists on a spectrum from stress to clinical depression. Clinical depression is a medical brain disorder that affects over 121 million people worldwide and can impact sleep, appetite, thoughts and self-esteem. While traditional treatments may have side effects and not provide lasting relief, the document proposes that wellness and training the brain through practices involving the physical, spiritual, mental, moral and social dimensions can help one not just cope with depression but reach their highest potential. It advertises a LifeClub membership program designed by medical and research experts to guide members in integrated wellness practices and personal development for healing and inner peace.
