  A unique journey into the Arctic world, its myths and changes 
  Finland’s leading expert on Arctic affairs, Markku Heikkilä shares insights from 25 years of travel, from the northern parts of Canada to the Ob River and from Iceland to Alaska. 
  During his journeys, Heikkilä shatters myths and preconceptions about life in the Arctic. He highlights stories that few people know, such as the Last War of the Khanty People, Alaskan Sámi reindeer and the ballerina in Svalbard. 
  The book dives into landscapes and lives, some of which we are about to lose. It’s about more than our changing climate; the Arctic was once a shared space among different peoples, until the region was swept in a storm of global politics. 
  ”A breathtaking book. It delves deep into the northern world in a smooth and profound way.” – Kulttuuritoimitus online magazine 
  ”Markku Heikkilä has compiled his extensive knowledge and a quarter of a century of travel in eight Arctic countries.” – Kaleva newspaper

  Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how a person feels, thinks, and acts. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. Depression can lead to various emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. 
    
  Symptoms of depression can be emotional, physical, or cognitive. Emotionally, individuals may experience persistent sadness, anxiety, or a feeling of emptiness. They might also feel hopeless, pessimistic, irritable, guilty, worthless, or helpless. Physically, depression can lead to decreased energy or fatigue, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, and unexplained aches or pains. Cognitively, those affected may have difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions. In severe cases, they may have thoughts of death or suicide or even attempt suicide. 
    
  The causes of depression are complex and involve a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. A family history of depression can increase one's risk, as can chemical imbalances in the brain. Stressful life events such as the death of a loved one, divorce, financial problems, or job loss can also trigger depression. Additionally, negative thinking patterns and low self-esteem can contribute to the development of the disorder.
