Hydrotherapy: an efficient and cost-effective treatment for depression

Abstract

Depression is a general mental disorder with an estimate of 350 million people affected with it. Depression varies from usual mood fluctuations to short emotional setbacks and can extend to mental breakdown, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. At worst, over 800,000 people commit suicide due it, and is the major cause of death among teens. Factors including genetic characteristics, environmental stress, as it gets triggered later at some point of adolescence, drugs like isotretinoin and interferon-alpha are thought to increase the risk of depression.
