However, scientists do not know the exact cause of depressive illness. Probably no single cause gives rise to the illness. In the past, doctors believed that depression was the result of thoughts or emotions that were troubling for a person. More recently, experts realize that several factors can work together to make a person become depressed. The three most important of these are biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Biological causes are due to changes in the chemistry of the brain, such as changes in the levels of important chemicals. Genetic causes are the result of what you get from your parents. If one or both of your parents have experienced depression, it can be passed on to you. Scientists believe genetic factors play a role in some depressions. Recent genetic research also finds that if one twin suffers from depression, the other twin has a 70 percent chance of also having the illness. Environmental factors, also called emotional factors, result from stressful emotional situations, such as a lack of loving parents or the death of a parent during childhood. To make it even more complicated, depression can also occur as a result of the three factors joined together. Depression can also develop due to a physical illness, or a reaction to some medicine that you are taking. In these cases, when the cause is successfully treated, the depression will end. Researchers now are continuing their work to better understand how genes and environment can work together, and what exactly is got from our parents.6.

Quitting cold turkey can be very difficult because most of us have normal lives during most of the day. When you are suffering through the first five days without smoking, you will feel more like an angry bear than a normal human, and you will be irritable and bad-tempered. Here are some things you can do to make quitting cold turkey less difficult. Smoke until your last day of work or school, and then begin quitting on the weekend. During the first few days, engage yourself in other things you like, even though that looks foolish. Sleeping a lot and watching a lot of TV are also useful for you to forget the cigarettes. Try not to face frustrating situations because frustration makes it easy for you to smoke. Dont go to any place where people will be smoking. If you feel terrible, find a friend to complain about your feelings. While not smoking, you can drink. Keep a lot of your favorite non-alcoholic drinks on hand. You will probably feel very thirsty, because youll want to replace the taste of cigarettes with something else, and drinking can help with that. Also keep your hands and your mouth busy, like chewing gum or tearing paper. When you want to give up, remember that youre one cigarette away from failure. All these tips can be useful if you want to quit cold turkey. None of them is useful if they are never used. As a last piece of advice, nothing is stronger than your willpower.11.
