day to help and save the public. Firefighters must
be prepared for the endangers they encounter and
be able to respond immediately to a fire or any
other emergencies that arises. Because fighting
fires is so complex, it requires organization and
teamwork. At every emergency scene, firefighters

Introduction Description A depressive disorder is
a whole-body illness, involving your body, mood,
and thoughts. It affects the way you eat and
sleep, the way you feel about yourself, and the
way you think about things. A depressive disorder
is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not
a sign of personal weakness or a condition that
can be willed or wished away. People with a
depressive illness cannot merely "pull themselves
together" and get better. Without treatment,
symptoms can last for...

relatively little attention and its victims have
been un deservingly stigmatized. Schizophrenia is
not a split personality, a rare and very different
disorder. Like cancer and diabetes, schizophrenia
has a biological basis; it is not caused by bad
parenting or personal weakness. Schizophrenia is,
