whatever the condition or circumstances are there. The chemical messenger
in brain helps the nerve cells to communicate with one another by sending
and receiving messages, these only influence the mood of a person. But in
the case of depression the supply of the chemical messenger is low; due
to this nerve cells can’t communicate effectively. This habitually
gives result in symptoms of depression.
