Mood Essence

It's easy to end up feeling negative these days - just day to day life can be enough! There are many reasons - ill health, a bereavement, a relationship breakup, as a part of the female cycle or through Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). There can be physical reasons too. Moderate or severe depression should always be dealt with by a healthcare practitioner.
