What is Depression?

 We all feel sad, moody or low from time to time because it’s human nature but, some people feel the same for a longer period of time. They’re always in a bad mood, always criticizing themselves. They don’t even feel like talking to people and just want to live alone and all of this is without any valid reason. they have no idea about what’s happening to them.

People say depression is just a mood. Well, it’s not. It is definitely more than that. This is something which can cause severe mental and physical health problems.

Causes

Now the question that arises in everyone’s mind is what is the cause of it. What happened that a person is going through depression. So, the major reason is Life Events. Whatever is going around him/her. From there we can find out where is the problem coming from. Is it because of their parents or is it something related to where they go every day or they just had an emotional breakdown. Other reasons can be personal factors. Some people have this kind of personality like they worry a lot about everything and some are drugs and alcohol addicts.

Remember, every person is different and sometimes there can be more than one reason of why a person is depressed. It’s important to see what are the symptoms of it.

Symptoms

It’s important to remember that every individual face these symptoms time to time and that doesn’t mean they’re depressed. Equally, not everyone having depression will face all symptoms.

Now the signs or symptoms can be:

Change in Behaviour

• Not feeling like going out anymore
• Don’t feel like talking to anyone around
• Addictive o Drugs/Alcohol
• Feeling alone every time

Feelings

• Guilty
• Irritated all the time
• Lack in confidence
• Disappointed with one self and others

Negative Thinking

• I fail everytime
• It’s all my fault.
• Nothing good ever happens to me.
• I’m good for nothing
• I don’t look good

Changes in Body

If you think that you or someone you know is facing these problems and is going through such a bad phase then it’s time to recover from it. There’s no proven way to recover from depression. No, it’s not disease and no, you’re not mad. It’s just a state of mind and that is occurring because you’re just scared to share about what you feel to anyone. It’s not easy to find someone who understands you well. If you don’t want to consult a doctor then you can always talk to people around you. Talk to your friends if not friends then you family member. Cry out our feeling don’t hide them. No one’s judging you and is better to get out of it now before it’s too late. If nothing helps consult a psychiatrist. At least try to get over it. For yourself, for your family who don’t even know what is happening to their child. Everyone come across bad phases in their lives but it’s better to not think about it anymore and move on. If you find anyone who is depressed then please help that person to get out of it. It’s a state that kills them from inside. Do it for yourself. You owe yourself the love you deserve. Lean to love yourself. Everything will go well.

I hope this helps. 🙂
