The most depressed person in the family

[BADecker]

A lot of happy-go-lucky people in the world, people you would never expect, commit suicide.

I would say that it is not right to pick a specific person, it could be anyone. Because many times the person who is strong on the outside, who handles everyone's problems, is the one who is most stressed on the inside. For example, the eldest son of the family or the one who takes responsibility, he talks less about himself, so his pain is not visible.  I think the person who is under more pressure, gets depressed the most. It could be the eldest son, or it could be the mother or someone else. You can't tell who is smiling on the outside but what is really going on inside. Another thing is that those who don't work at all are also more likely to suffer from depression. Because a lazy brain is a perfect place for depression.

In a family anybody could shoulder everything, it doesn't necessarily have to be a specific person because your resources determines what you would be in the family regardless of if the person is the first born or the last. With how I also view this, the person who shoulder everything could also not be the one that would be depressed because if the person is rich with the finance that can feed the family and also take him anywhere I don't see how he would be depressed but in other words the dependent ones could be the ones whom would be going through depression because without help they hardly move an each for success so actually being overwhelmed by how they can be independent could result to it, so actually it mustn't be the one that handles everybody but anybody could be affected by it.

It could be the father bearing all the burdens

It could be the single mother doing more than two jobs to see her family meet up with live.

It could be the children doing deals with the devil to get out of a failed system. Anybody could be depressed. It could also be the brother who made money and lost it all again. Isolation during times of depression shouldn't be encouraged though. Taking consistent walks would help anyone likewise chasing your purpose during these times.

I believe everyone is going through a lot, and in the family, everyone plays a role and has targets to meet. It could be that the son or daughter is struggling with their grades in school to graduate with good results. One thing about depression is that one can be going through serious depression without anyone knowing it.

 I don't think it is only the father who is going through a lot in the family; others may be going through the same. That is why it is important to check up on one another at all times because you can't really tell the struggles people are going through to survive.

And there's a deeper reason why they chose to go happy-go-lucky and that's their temporary escape to the reality. We don't know each other and we have battles that we're going through and we just do something in order for us to overcome that stress and depression that we're going with. But sadly, others can't fight those battles anymore and the heavier it gets, they resort to that one decision that they think would end all of it. If someone out there has a silent battle, I wish you all the best and counting on you to win that.

In one way or the other every member of the family is surely going through something and I believe everyone in a family have a role they play in the family, it must not be to provide arms to the family but in some ways they actually play a role according to the kind of individual they are because everyone must not be the same in a family. There are those who provides for the family but there are also those who act like the field marshals who don’t provide but they carry out the duties of the family. Depression in a family is a general feeling of everyone and not just one person, everyone is feeling something inside them that they barely relate to other members of the family, it could be relationship problems, issues with friends, and so many other things which necessarily they feel they can handle themselves but in reality they know they need help.

Certainly some family do not have a center of interest between siblings but however everybody is required to provide, this kind of family is actually the best and rare kind because they all believe in going out to work and come back with money from each of them so that the burden would be shared between all the siblings, if all the family who doesn't have money work this way I believe they would not suffer much because if one person does not go out or do not have the next person would help out the family and even if some would feel depressed but it wouldn't be because of the overwhelming responsibilities.

Depression happens day and night. In a family facing what so ever
Who do you think is the most depressed person in the family?
Could it be the eldest son?
What is the fact behind your reasons?

Everybody can be depressed. There is no special person in the family  that depression is meant for, But most time just as you have mentioned the first son or the eldest daughter can be depress due to family responsibility and burden that they carry  even when they are not ready it can make them to fall into depression.
In some families today the older son support and train their siblings in school and Also support their parents, even when they’re in pain, they may not talk. But the truth is that everybody can be depressed whether, father, mother, or siblings can be depressed it can be as a result of financial difficulties. So everyone can be depressed it doesn’t matter if you’re young or old.

I am so much in love with your statement because there's nobody that is above depression and the thing is that people get depressed based on what the pass through and some people also get the breast based on overthinking so that is why you see many people having different kind of problems so there is nobody that is above depression or being depressed in any kind neither at young age or old age is a must to be depressed if you over stress yourself or think or have a lot of issues that your brain cannot accommodate

Saying whoever is depressed in the family is true this will go back to the personality of each person in the family whether it is the first, second, third child or parent, whoever it is I agree.
 
But I don't agree that everything is about money, depression can arise because of a problem, not a few rich people experience divorce or family breakdown, I think you know that, depression can arise from anywhere, whether it's external to the family, from family members themselves or even yourself who are too over-thinking.

You are right, even if we are not financially deprived we get mentally broken due to various reasons in our personal life. Mental peace comes through the environment around us. Those means can be our family, close people, friends or relatives. People suffer from depression due to loneliness. Due to which even if there is money, a person can be overwhelmed with depression due to loneliness. Financial problems bring disappointment and depression in our life
. However the cause of depression can be not one but hundreds of reasons.

Personally, depression in a family is a mix of bloodline and environment. It's often hereditary which is usually triggered by immediate family hardships or economic status.

A child can be depressed in two ways:
1. The inherited pain that runs within the family.
2. Personal perception of every life situation.

For this reason, to know the most depressed isn't actually clear. Some child might develop a high tolerance and see severe trauma as just a normal part of life while some might look at the exact situation and not know how to handle it and lose themselves.

[hafiztalha]

We cannot specify a single person as the most depressed person of a family ,depression does not depends on age, gender or position of the family member.

But I have seen that the eldest son or daughter of the family has to face a lot of pressure because of the higher expectations from the family, having large number of responsibilities for the family members ,they are being the strongest one among other siblings, they have to face a lot of stress if there is any financial problem that their parents are dealing they also face that, the truth is that the depression is not related to any particular person of the family ,it is about the person who feel the responsibilities and struggle to take him or herself out of it.

A lot of happy-go-lucky people in the world, people you would never expect, commit suicide.

At times, alot of people do wear fake smiles just to live life and enjoy the moments which come with it just to be fine and not necessarily because they don’t face issues. No one on earth today is free of one pain or the other, everyone is just managing their lives and trying to survive through the life has thrown at them. I won’t be surprised if someone who you saw very happy this minute and goes to commit suicide the next minute because you never can tell the heavy grief he’s carrying in his chest and decided to shoulder it silently.

[BitBakerr1]

Any one can be depressed in a family, depression happens when someone is facing some challenges of life, and again it’s important you know that depression can be caused by anything and how will handle it determines if it will lead us to depression or not, some people when they are broke they can go into depression, some people when they don’t do well in their exams they can so go into depression, some people when you shout at them it can so lead them into depression so basically it depends on how we see and handle issues or challenges that happen in our life, all this things I mentioned that can lead some people into depression may not lead others into depression.
So in a family those ones that can’t handle challenges or issues as part of life are the ones that will go into depression.

Another thing is that those who don't work at all are also more likely to suffer from depression. Because a lazy brain is a perfect place for depression.

So many families responsibility isn't always tied up to birth order it often falls on whoever has the resources and capacity to help , I don't think depression is determined solely by whole carried the financial burden someone who provides for every one can still feel overwhelming by expectations pressure or lack of support while those who feel of inadequacy or uncertainty about their future, at the end of the day anyone in family can be affected depending on their circumstances and how they can cope.
