&lt;div&gt;''See [[Psalm 42]] concerning depression.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Depression''' is a [[mental illness]] &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Depression is a mental illness that can affect mood, cognition, and physiological functioning.  Each year about 21 million American adults (nearly 10% of the population) suffer from depression or a related illness. Robins, L.N. &amp;amp; Regier, D.A. (1990). Psychiatric Disorders in America: The Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study.  New York: The Free Press.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in which people feel sad for no reason at all or simply find it difficult or impossible to deal with the normal things of life. {{pessimism}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most people who believe in the [[theory of evolution]] inevitably have bouts of depression.  It may be that the only way to overcome that is to question the false belief system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Severe depression affects approximately 10% of people.  The feeling of depression is something that many people experience from time to time &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/depression/complete-publication.shtml#pub3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and can even help individuals to recognize and deal with problems in their lives.  In clinical depression, or [[bipolar disorder]], the feeling of depression is worse, goes on for longer and makes it difficult or impossible to deal with the normal things of life.  Although depression can be triggered by life events such as childbirth (see [[Postpartum depression]]) or the loss of a loved one due to death, sufferers also often describe feeling sad for no reason at all.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://health.yahoo.com/experts/depression/5/sadness-amp-depression-what-is-the-difference/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== '''Types of Depression.'''==&lt;br /&gt;
Depression is characterized by many different types, including;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Major depression.&lt;br /&gt;
# Dysthymia and chronic depression.&lt;br /&gt;
# Seasonal effects or weather affected depression.&lt;br /&gt;
# Psychotic depression.&lt;br /&gt;
# Bipolar depression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Major Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here the person goes into deep despair and hope. Symptoms of this depression interfere with the person’s ability to work, study, sleep, eat and relish activities. It can occur only once, but it often happens many times in a lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dysthymia and Chronic Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dysthymia is referred as long-running depression. It is not a severe form, but the symptoms can last for several years. People who suffer from dystopia are usually able to act normally but always seem unhappy. The condition of dysthymia is different from major depression. The symptoms of dysthymia are less than major depression. In adults it last for at least two years and one year in children or adolescents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Seasonal Effects or Weather Affected Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weather-affected depression appears at the same time every year. Usually it starts in spring or winter and ends at the beginning of spring or summer. A unique form of weather-affected depression is known as summer depression. It starts at the beginning of spring or summer and ends in spring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People who suffer from it, have major symptoms such as sadness, irritability, lack of interest in usual activities, running away from social activities and decreased focus etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Psychotic Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 25% of people those are hospitalized for mental illness are suffering from psychotic depression. However, people have face hallucinations in this condition. Sighted or listening to things that are not actually or delusional, which also cause irrational thoughts and symptoms of fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bipolar Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here the mind is constantly depressed or very happy for several weeks or months. The mind of the victim is alternately in two different and opposite stages. This disease shows a sudden change in human behaviour. Sometimes the patient is very happy and sometimes very depressed.[https://freaktofit.com/depression-types-symptoms-and-diagnosis/ Depression: Types, Symptoms and Diagnosis]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Cause==&lt;br /&gt;
The two best-known theories are, first, that depression is caused by a [[chemical imbalance]] in the brain; second, that gloomy thinking causes depression. According to the second theory, it is the depression that causes the chemical imbalance (not the other way around).&lt;br /&gt;
*The cognitive theories of depression are among the most clearly articulated and well-supported models of depression. According to these theories (e.g., Abramson, Metalsky, &amp;amp; Alloy, 1989; Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991), some individuals have a [[cognitive vulnerability]] that interacts with stress to produce depression. Specifically, people are vulnerable to depression because they have a tendency to generate interpretations of stressful life events (and [[dysphoric moods]]) that have negative implications for their future and for their [[self-worth]]. [http://cpx.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/04/15/2167702613485075.full]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Treatment==&lt;br /&gt;
Clinical depression is often treated with psychotherapy and certain medications, such as [[SSRI]]s, [[SNRI]]s, and [[MAOI]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

==Cause==&lt;br /&gt;
The two best-known theories are, first, that depression is caused by a [[chemical imbalance]] in the brain; second, that gloomy thinking causes depression. According to the second theory, it is the depression that causes the chemical imbalance (not the other way around).&lt;br /&gt;
*The cognitive theories of depression are among the most clearly articulated and well-supported models of depression. According to these theories (e.g., Abramson, Metalsky, &amp;amp; Alloy, 1989; Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991), some individuals have a [[cognitive vulnerability]] that interacts with stress to produce depression. Specifically, people are vulnerable to depression because they have a tendency to generate interpretations of stressful life events (and [[dysphoric moods]]) that have negative implications for their future and for their [[self-worth]].

'''Major Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here the person goes into deep despair and hope. Symptoms of this depression interfere with the person’s ability to work, study, sleep, eat and relish activities. It can occur only once, but it often happens many times in a lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dysthymia and Chronic Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dysthymia is referred as long-running depression. It is not a severe form, but the symptoms can last for several years. People who suffer from dystopia are usually able to act normally but always seem unhappy. The condition of dysthymia is different from major depression. The symptoms of dysthymia are less than major depression. In adults it last for at least two years and one year in children or adolescents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Seasonal Effects or Weather Affected Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weather-affected depression appears at the same time every year. Usually it starts in spring or winter and ends at the beginning of spring or summer. A unique form of weather-affected depression is known as summer depression. It starts at the beginning of spring or summer and ends in spring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Psychotic Depression.'''&lt;br /&gt;

About 25% of people those are hospitalized for mental illness are suffering from psychotic depression. However, people have face hallucinations in this condition. Sighted or listening to things that are not actually or delusional, which also cause irrational thoughts and symptoms of fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Here the mind is constantly depressed or very happy for several weeks or months. The mind of the victim is alternately in two different and opposite stages. This disease shows a sudden change in human behaviour. Sometimes the patient is very happy and sometimes very depressed.[https://freaktofit.com/depression-types-symptoms-and-diagnosis/ Depression: Types, Symptoms and Diagnosis]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;According to the [[American Psychiatric Association]], a '''paraphilia''' is a type of [[mental disorder]] &amp;lt;!--designating--&amp;gt; diagnosed by any unusual sexual behavior, which includes &amp;lt;!--the paraphiliac prefers use--&amp;gt; preferences of a nonhuman object for sexual arousal, engaging in repetitive sexual activity with humans involving real or simulated suffering or humiliation, engaging with partners based off their appearance including age, femininity (or lack thereof) and ethnicity, or repetitive sexual activity with nonconsenting partners. The third edition of the [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders]] introduced the word &amp;quot;paraphilia&amp;quot; and noted, &amp;quot;In other classifications these disorders are referred to as Sexual Deviations. The term Paraphilia is preferred because it correctly emphasizes that the deviation (para) lies in that to which the person is attracted (philia)&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2011, Allen Frances and Michael B. First, Chair of the DSM-IV Task Force and its Editor of Text and Criteria, respectively, published an &amp;quot;insider's parsing of the intended meanings&amp;quot; of the first three sentences of the DSM section on paraphilias and stressed that the underlying principle governing inclusion in this category is that a person's focus of sexual arousal be considered deviant, bizarre, and unusual. Thus, if a sexual preference, fantasy, urge, or behavior were to be deemed characteristic of normal people or not inherently deviant, then the sexual arousal or conduct would not be considered evidence of a paraphilia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|url=http://www.jaapl.org/content/39/1/78.full|author=Frances, Allen and First, Michael B.|date=February 2011|title=Hebephilia Is Not a Mental Disorder in DSM-IV-TR and Should Not Become One in DSM-5|journal=J Am Acad Psychiatry Law|volume=39|number=1|pages=78–85}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-I==&lt;br /&gt;
Homosexuality was in the first edition of the DSM as a sexual deviation.  Liberal influences have continued to erode the APA ever since then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-III==&lt;br /&gt;
Ego-dystonic homosexuality coded as mental disorder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In DSM-III-R, it was moved to &amp;quot;sexual disorder not otherwise specified&amp;quot;, which could include &amp;quot;persistent and marked distress about one's sexual orientation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-IV==&lt;br /&gt;
Sexual sadism, sexual masochism, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and transsexuality were all listed and defined in this version of the DSM.  They are also remarkably absent from the DSM-5 (the most current version).  Liberalism, while not (entirely) a sexual disease, has contributed to this change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-5==&lt;br /&gt;
The current indeces for paraphilias are as follows.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Paraphiliac Disorders. In Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Sexual addiction''' consists of an unhealthy [[addiction]] to sexual activity and/or [[pornography]]. See ''[[Escape From Intimacy]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Homosexual Sex Addiction ==&lt;br /&gt;
As with an alcohol or drug addiction, the satisfaction of sex addiction, whether within or without a homosexual liaison, or by means of masturbation, is purely ego-centered. It is not a sharing of love, but in essence an impersonal event, like contact with a prostitute. Homosexuals do not so much seek the other ''person'' as human being in their sexual encounters but rather the materialization of their wish fantasies. The real other person is not perceived as he is, and to the degree that he is experienced more realistically, the neurotic attraction correspondingly fades away. Ego-centered lust fills no void, only deepens it.&lt;br /&gt;
Sex addicts, among them homosexuals, may have a tendency to lie about their behavior, to others and to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Aardweg1997&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; It is not unusual that they mock the fidelity&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Modern Romance: Love, Marriage &amp;amp; Monogamy |author=Dan Savage &amp;amp; Esther Perel |publisher=Talks at Google |url=https://youtu.be/s7E9ASb3LfE?t=365&lt;br /&gt;
|date=22 Jan 2016|quote=Moderated by Logan Ury; “We have to stop telling people that monogamy is only thing that you have to execute perfectly 100% of time to be regarded as good at it. … We need to tell people that if you were with somebody for – really, now, because of expanding lifespans, 50, 60 years, if you make a commitment in your early and mid-20s, or late 20s or 30s – if you were with somebody for 60 yrs and they only cheated on you a handful of time, and you only cheated on them a handful of times, you were both pretty good at monogamy, not bad at it. … Most of history monogamy was one person for life, and at this moment, monogamy is one person at a time.” |accessdate=07 Feb 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and/or lie to their partners about it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Aardweg1997&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=The Battle for Normality: A Guide for (Self-)Therapy for Homosexuality |author=Gerard J.M.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Side Effects ==&lt;br /&gt;
Sex addiction, like any other addiction, comes with its problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most common ones are:&lt;br /&gt;
#Drowsiness&lt;br /&gt;
#*In extension of the above, forgetfulness and slow-wittedness&lt;br /&gt;
#Rapid heartbeat&lt;br /&gt;
#[[Depression|Feeling down]]&lt;br /&gt;
#Sore wrists and forearm muscles&lt;br /&gt;
#Peyronie's disease&lt;br /&gt;
#Increased body heat (It gets dangerous in hot climates or coupled with alcohol)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, in more extreme cases, the following can happen which can result in a coma, or worse, death:&lt;br /&gt;
#Brain hemorrhage&lt;br /&gt;
#Heart attack&lt;br /&gt;
#Phthisis&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fun fact: With the consideration that all of the symptoms above are real, &amp;quot;sex positivity&amp;quot; activists will insist that masturbation and sex addiction, in general, are safe and often resort to citing ''popular science'', notwithstanding the fact that science was wrong before (For example, scientists once said cigarettes were safe for consumption).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.history.com/news/cigarette-ads-doctors-smoking-endorsement History.com on Tobacco companies recruiting doctors]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4843a2.htm CDC on smoking and cancer]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.pophistorydig.com/topics/tag/cigarettes-1930s/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Some of the more unhinged nutcases claim that you must masturbate often enough to avoid getting cancer, despite the risks of getting the cancer being non-existent, contrary to the risks of dying from a heart attack due to sex addiction.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;According to the [[American Psychiatric Association]], a '''paraphilia''' is a type of [[mental disorder]] &amp;lt;!--designating--&amp;gt; diagnosed by any unusual sexual behavior, which includes &amp;lt;!--the paraphiliac prefers use--&amp;gt; preferences of a nonhuman object for sexual arousal, engaging in repetitive sexual activity with humans involving real or simulated suffering or humiliation, engaging with partners based off their appearance including age, femininity (or lack thereof) and ethnicity, or repetitive sexual activity with nonconsenting partners. The third edition of the [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders]] introduced the word &amp;quot;paraphilia&amp;quot; and noted, &amp;quot;In other classifications these disorders are referred to as Sexual Deviations. The term Paraphilia is preferred because it correctly emphasizes that the deviation (para) lies in that to which the person is attracted (philia)&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2011, Allen Frances and Michael B. First, Chair of the DSM-IV Task Force and its Editor of Text and Criteria, respectively, published an &amp;quot;insider's parsing of the intended meanings&amp;quot; of the first three sentences of the DSM section on paraphilias and stressed that the underlying principle governing inclusion in this category is that a person's focus of sexual arousal be considered deviant, bizarre, and unusual. Thus, if a sexual preference, fantasy, urge, or behavior were to be deemed characteristic of normal people or not inherently deviant, then the sexual arousal or conduct would not be considered evidence of a paraphilia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|url=http://www.jaapl.org/content/39/1/78.full|author=Frances, Allen and First, Michael B.|date=February 2011|title=Hebephilia Is Not a Mental Disorder in DSM-IV-TR and Should Not Become One in DSM-5|journal=J Am Acad Psychiatry Law|volume=39|number=1|pages=78–85}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-I==&lt;br /&gt;
Homosexuality was in the first edition of the DSM as a sexual deviation.  Liberal influences have continued to erode the APA ever since then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-III==&lt;br /&gt;
Ego-dystonic homosexuality coded as mental disorder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In DSM-III-R, it was moved to &amp;quot;sexual disorder not otherwise specified&amp;quot;, which could include &amp;quot;persistent and marked distress about one's sexual orientation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-IV==&lt;br /&gt;
Sexual sadism, sexual masochism, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and transsexuality were all listed and defined in this version of the DSM.  They are also remarkably absent from the DSM-5 (the most current version).  Liberalism, while not (entirely) a sexual disease, has contributed to this change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The DSM-5==&lt;br /&gt;
The current indeces for paraphilias are as follows.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Paraphiliac Disorders. In Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
