Depression As A Bad Clinical Condition

“Depression is a war you fight alone, but don’t have to win by yourself.”

Depression, anxiety and stress are on the rise and can cause serious illness if not treated properly. It is an issue which needs to be spoken about, people suffering from this mental illness should be provided proper health. Losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, going through a divorce and other situations can make a person sad, lonely, over thinker and scared. Many patients prefer to use herbal products to treat these symptoms. Recent studies show that saffron can be a good anti-depressant however its toxicological profile raises some deep safety concerns.
