Depression & Low Mood
Depression & Low Mood
Depression when it is a clinical illness is .. more than just a low mood. It is a persistent debilitation of spirits that can affect every area of life and is due to chemicals in the brain - neurotransmitters - rather than anything a person might be doing wrong in their lives, so may require prescription drugs. That said, lifestyle changes might
possibly help too.

UK Garage - managed to channel sadder feelings.
Caribbean styles eg Calypso, Ska, Dancehall..created feelings of optimism and uplift again.
