The impaired, distorted ‘reality’ I am accustomed to experiencing just showed up. As has been its habit over the last six years, my depression episode has taken on a life of its own. It usually lasts for about two or three hours, during which feelings of powerlessness, a sense of discomfort and unreality take over. It is as if I am not here, yet nowhere, but wanting to be somewhere. Such confusion dominates the mind of people that battle depression. There is a feeling that you do not exist as a human being; yet you breathe. You look, but you do not see; you do not want to be, but you are. You try desperately to feel in the present, but it is as if you are leaving the scene of life; you are being taken away from reality, indeed from the world. Of course, you hate it; you really hate these feelings. A lot of thoughts and emotions come to mind. The most fervent one is that this torture would end right here, right now. But it does not. Time, then, becomes your master. You feel that time never passes. Seconds, minutes, hours, and days become eternal. Agony, yes, agony is the best word to describe this. You give up on yourself, you give up on life, you care about nothing and you doubt anyone cares about you… ”

 Depression is a very disabling mental disorder that prevents the depressed from carrying on a normal life. According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, between 20%-40% of the US population will, at some point in life, develop depression. However, this need not be the case, as depression is a fully preventable disorder, if detected in time.
The human body is a “biological machine with consciousness,” and as such, it obeys the laws of biology and is prone to malfunction. This biological malfunction is translated into diseases, depression among the many that are possible. Depression would most likely develop as a result of a genetic predisposition for the disorder, in addition to dysfunctional interactions between the individual’s internal and external environments sustained over longer periods. This dysfunctionality compromises normal function of some, or all, of the 20 brain systems believed to be involved in depression, such as: signaling systems, first messenger systems, second messenger systems, neuropeptides, prefrontal cortex, thalamus, LAPH axis, hypothalamus, nucleus accumbens, amygdale, hippocampus, pineal gland, insula, vagus nerve, thymus, regional cerebral blood flow, blood derivate, neurotrophic factor, glucose metabolism, DHEA, CREB cycle, and many others.
In his 3 new books, Tangled Synapses: How Neuroscience and Resilience Overcome Depression, the companion novelettes – The Oxytocin Women, and 30,000 Days for Mr. William Kantshakes, Neuroscience Researcher Ignacio Sanabria, M.Ed., offers the most up-to-date research findings in the science of diagnosing, treating and preventing mental disorders, such as depression. The Tangled Synapses book, particularly, delves into the neuroscience and resilience behind depression in search of effective recovery strategies. It introduces the depressed to the neurophysiobiology, neuroscience and resilience behind depression.
The books clearly and skillfully describe the role of neuroscience and resilience in the preventing and curing of mental illness. At the core of depression treatment is the balancing of the dysfunctional 3 daily life cycles – rest/activity, sleep/wake and diet/metabolism, where hydrotherapy, particularly through natural hot spring baths, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, homeopathic compounds, exercise and diet regimes, acupuncture and prescription medication are key elements for recovery.

 Before falling into the obscure world of mental illness, Mr. Sanabria was a successful IT professional living the "American Dream." Then depression took control of his life, and from then on hopelessness, despair, pain, emotional suffering, and several suicide attempts consumed his thoughts. He lost his career, his family, his friends, and his ability to physically and mentally fend for himself.
He hopes his hard-won lessons might help or inspire any one of the millions of Americans currently suffering from, or predicted to endure, depression. Depression is a fully preventable disorder if detected in a timely manner. The best treatment against depression is to avoid developing it in the first place.
