CONCEPT PAPER

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of

sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or
clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can
lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have
trouble doing normal day to day activities, and sometimes you may feel
as if life isn't worth living. According to our research, people with
depression, symptoms usually are severe enough to cause noticeable
problems in day to day activities such as work and some people may feel
generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why. Our group
conducted a research again and coming up with the idea that there are
"several genetic polymorphism have been linked to an increased ris k of
depression in response to stress, foremost among these are genes of the
serotonin system". The fact that there are specific genes that take part in
causing depression. Our group aims to create an advocacy that will help
promote the mental health care and mental wellness and emphasize
recovery from mental illness.Our group discovered the petition LSD, to
treat not only depression, but also anxiety, ADHD and other mental
illness.

We will be creating infographics about this and give to parents,

teachers, and specially to the teenagers who usually experience these
kinds of illnesses, let's be one in spreading awareness.

We are planning to start making infograhics a week from now and

we'll be having a website to promote our advocacy. We will also be
utilizing our own resources in funding for this project and our expenses
only include the printing of the infogaphics to be disseminated.
