SANE Australia (2012) describes depression as the one of the persistent feelings of sadness which all of us experience at various stages of our lives, but others feel on a regular basis. There are a variety of symptoms of depression that can affect everyone in different ways, these may include: the feeling of extremely sad or tearful; loss of sleep; losing interest and motivation in everyday activities; feeling guilty or no good; losing pleasure in activities; anxiety; changes in weight; loss of sexual interest; aches and pains; impaired thinking or loss of concentration (SANE Australia, 2012). Clinical depression is a serious medical illness that negatively affects how you think, the way you feel and how you behave. Individuals with clinical depression are unable to function and participate in activities as they used to. Often they lose interest in everyday activities that were once enjoyable to them, and feel sad and hopeless for extended periods of time, for no apparent or obvious reason (SANE, Australia, 2012).

‘Back in 1971 …… Mental health referred only to mental illnesses and mental illnesses were shrouded in such shame and stigma that many people neglected the issue.’ Though much has changed today, the serious stigma and discrimination attached to mental illnesses are still among the most tragic realities facing people with mental illness all over the world. They result in stereotyping, fear, embarrassment, anger and avoidance behaviors. They force people to remain quiet about their mental illnesses, often causing them to delay treatment because of concerns about what their families, friends, children, co-workers and employers will think. In view of the prejudice and discrimination, there is a need to change in order to help them to have a complete and satisfying life. Stigma is the product of superstition, old belief systems, lack of knowledge and empathy, and the sustained distortion by the media.
Bipolar I Disorder and the Diathesis-Stress Model Abnormal Psychology December 5, 2011 Professor James Morley People experience a wide range of emotions throughout ones life; it is simply a part of human nature. Feelings of depression, elevated levels of anxiety, and reckless behavior, are in fact, normal in brief stints, as it would be considerably unhealthy to stifle such emotions. However, in some instances “such moods swings become so prolonged and extreme that the person’s life is seriously disrupted” (Alloy, Manos, Riskind, 2005, p. 246). This is when a disorder becomes categorized as an illness, rather than simply the stresses of everyday life. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that involves both manic and depressive episodes.
“A close relationship has been documented between low self-esteem and such problems as violence, alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, school dropouts, teenage pregnancy, suicide, and low academic achievement.” (NASE, 2010). A person with low self-esteem is going to face many challenges in life, mostly introverted challenges. Depression is a major side-effect of a low self-esteem. There are also many psychological problems that are influenced, negatively and positively, by low self-esteem. “Low self-esteem can predispose you to developing a mental disorder, and developing a mental disorder can in turn deliver a huge knock to your self-esteem.” (Psychology Today, 2014).
It is a mood disorder defined as “a state of despondency marked by feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness” . It falls under the umbrella of psychopathology and can result in suicidal death among those who have lost hope. As children and adolescents go through their different developmental stages they experience periods of depression that range between mild and severe, which may not be persistent or even impair their normal functioning. According to Mufson, et al. (2004), they may go through a day or week feeling sad in which they are irritable, moody, bored or lack interest in some facets of life.
