Are we becoming too comfortable with depression?

[Bigthraex]

In our world today, we have lots of depressed people living life like nothing is wrong. Depression can be as a result of many things like loneliness, financial pressure, peer pressure, stress and many others. Depressed people don't even speak up because the society don't place importance on it. Depression is real and we all go through it at different points in life. My question is why aren't we talking so much about depression and how to manage and help depressed people?

[_act_]

It is not true that people are not talking about depression. I have listen to the topic on depression on many TV showse every year. The fact does not change the fact that some people can still be depressed.

It is people that are depressed that can helped themselves, but there are some cases that the situation is very worse. Like someone that life is not favoring at all can be depressed, but for it not to lead to death or bad things, it is not an easy thing than the person to think positively and know that there is hope if there is life.

We people are talking but you aren't listening, you say this now but could still go out harsh on people around you when you want or based on your mood like it's nothing.
I think the solution is not getting post about depression everywhere, in fact that would be awkward and that be the complete solution.
For be a better solution is accountability when you take accountability that you as a person even from the tiny things you do can contribute to another persons depression then we can consciously start making a change to that.

People talk about depression with someone close to them because personal matters cannot be shared with everyone. Depression is more common when a person is not in the shadow of his family. Family is a place where most people try to find refuge after a busy day. You will find that most of the depressed people are not related to their family or they have not found anyone they can trust.

To help depressed people, you need to listen to them and uncover the reason for it. Most depressed people cannot solve their problems on their own. They have ego or weak financial situation or any other social reason. They need a helper to give the best advice. Loneliness is one of the causes of depression. When you can live a social life and with discipline, you will not be depressed and can live a comfortable life.

People are talking about depression but once you are depressed, nothing gets to you at all as you are likely going to isolate from the society and stay on your own trying to prove that you can leave independent of people.  everyone is passing through one stuff or another and people have learnt to face their problem without necessarily talking to people about it, except you push people to the extreme, you rarely stand a chance to know what people are going through.

Sometimes life can push you to the wall and you might think that you are the worse of person alive. if only you will ask others what they are passing through and then you will know that your case is not that bad after all. as long as you are in this world, no one is coming to save you and that has always been my way of dealing with moment of downs.

Depression is a serious mental illness and this social media made the word popular and everyone started using depression when they are feeling mentally tired or being stressed out of something that is going through but no, they are mistaken depression with stress which is completely wrong.

It is better not to normalize the word and if you think someone is struggling with depression then they need to visit a psychiatrist to get it diagonesed and they will prescribe an antidepressant like sertraline and other medicines in the required dosage to treat them.

My question is why aren't we talking so much about depression and how to manage and help depressed people?

Do you know that we ourselves are managing our depressions in one way or the other low-key?

People need to learn better of the power of positivity and the detriments of overthinking things, especially what you've no direct control over. if we are more informed, we can manage our emotions better and not easily get depressed. Depression is a common thing now among people, the only antidote against depression that I know is maintaining positive thoughts and feeding your mind more of positivity than negativity.

Families have a role to play and show more love to their depressed relatives. Depressed people should be fed more positive reasons to continue living, Showing them love and encouraging them to be positive about themselves helps a lot as well.

[Merit.s]

Depression is always talked about in one way or the other and we do come around depress people most times but you didn't notice it. A bad/ugly situation can put one into depression just like losing a big amount of money that means a lot to you or the death of a family member can make one get depressed.

The solution is to forget about what's causing your depression and move on with life. Take yourself out with friends and have fun. Tell people your problems for advice. Depression kills when you don't have anyone to share your problems with.

Nowadays it is very difficult to calm the mind as I see it has become a part of mental suffering sometimes due to circumstances sometimes due to not being with your loved ones sometimes due to not leaving the mistakes of the past behind. Everyone has different problems.To get out of it and give peace to the mind a person needs positive thinking love for others and moral things.And even after all this if you are not able to get rid of this problem then you need therapy a doctor and medicine. Do not take it lightly and try not to let what happened dominate your mind but rather avoid it in the future.Take part in small activities and do not be disappointed in life. I cannot do this now but rather strengthen yourself at every stage so that no problem can make you mentally ill.

Depression got nothing on a person like me who is energetic and a vibe on my own. I promise you the only time I have experienced such in my life has got to be the year when I lost my mother to the cold hands of death asides that, an energetic mother fvcker like me can not be depressed. I live a simple life and I do not get pressured whenever I see pictures of my guys at the current stripper parties, travelling or purchasing stuffs I can not get yet.

It took me a year though until I was clear of that depression. It is gratitude to the good people in my life, football competition I was involved in and books I read these periods that kept my spirit alive. I was always chasing a purpose and energetic before the depression but gratitude to God and these mentions, I think I've found my smile back but that ache of losing someone I love will never go away.

Depression is real and we all go through it at different points in life. My question is why aren't we talking so much about depression and how to manage and help depressed people?

Well depression is real and it is found in 2 out of every 6 people, it's a general sickness regardless of how it differs in magnitude. People face one depression or the other every day, and this is caused by family responsibilities, health challenges/issues, relationship Matter, financial problem and job stress etc. this are the main depression that affect people everyday and government don't have anything to do for us because some things are best left for us to do by ourselves. Who do you want to come and help you when they have their own to think of? My advice is that life is too short, we should try as much as possible to make it easier by cheering ourselves up or having time for entertainment and fun. Taking Care of ourselves by constant medical attention and eating good and healthy food. Have time with people watch entertaining movies that makes you laugh to calm your pressure down. Ist as easy as that.

It was a good thing you were able to overcome depression, although it took time but not many can overcome it. Most times what keep people in depression is overthinking, when they think too much of the bad phase or situation they are going through currently, they go into depression, making it hard for them to do things in the right way.
People fight depression in so many ways, not same method works for everyone and some of the methods are either having a conversation with friend or trusted person about the situation to relieve you of your current situation, doing fun things like hobby, being around people and so many other ways.

In school, a hostel mate whom I spent so much time with, normalized saying he's depressed whenever I asked him of his constant habit of staying indoors, one day he intuitively opened up about what led to his depression, he said he never stops thinking of his only brother whom he lost to a stray bullet fired by the cops during a gang clash in his home town.

His story about his brother's funeral was so bitter that I began calling him my brother, he, in turn, also took me in as somebody he could trust, and after sometimes he started associating with my other friends and began to love them too, it was never that easy for him to let go of the pains in his heart, but with time he began to instill in his mind that he could find brothers in others.

When he finally decided to open his doors for people to enter, his pains reduced alot, which I won't say completely because nobody can be like his deceased brother. I'm saying this because he didn't have to go to any clinic or hospital, he just understood that they're people who could fill up the emptiness he feels in his hearth.

This validates what I said almost everyone has been depressed at least once at some point in their life, you went through it and it made you a stronger person. After my mom died I was depressed to a point where I didn't utter a word to anybody for days, I was in shock and even when I started talking to people and thought I had moved on I suddenly discovered this sadness inside and the how bitter and alone I felt. It was hell because I didn't talk to anybody about how I feel and how heartbroken I was. So I think when someone is depressed they should be able to talk to someone they trust because I feel it will make them feel better and sharing the burden will ease the burden. Staying alone makes thinks worse as thought will creep in and you will get more depressed. For me, I started opening up to my best friend about I felt and how pained I was about everything, I stopped staying alone for a while and I started doing the fun things that I susllg do like playing football and exercising at the gym. I started taking more care of myself, dress nice, eat healthy, sleep well and just do anything that makes me happy.

It is not true that people are not talking about depression. I have listen to the topic on depression on many TV showse every year. The fact does not change the fact that some people can still be depressed.

Indeed, people talk about depression all day long these days on TV shows, internet videos, daily social interactions and to AI agents. They have a scientifical explanation for everything: how it happens in the body, which neurotransmitters and hormones it involves, which areas of the brain it's related to and even how to treat it through medications and therapy.

However, even knowing the answers for everything, the emptiness is still there. Only information or cognitive processes aren't enough to get rid of depression.

The rhythm of life nowadays is about acting on automatic mode. People don't know why they behave like this in daily routine, they just do it. Depression might be the way their essence found to tell themselves there is something wrong. Something they don't get aware about, because they are too busy speaking words excessively, drowned in an ocean of informations and guidelines on what to do in order to be a superior person.

[Agbamoni]

People visit the therapist's office almost every day due to depression. Depressed individuals are not comfortable with depression. I think they have found a solution to get out of depression whenever they feel depressed. Some of them talk to their loved ones about it, others go for their hobby if they can feel better.

There is this thing about some depressed people I don't like. That is, taking drugs, drinking alcohol, or smoking weed. It doesn't stop the depression. It only makes it worse. Sooner or later, the drugs won't be helpful again.

[Royal Cap]

As far as I have seen, no one in this world is truly happy. And I think the biggest reason for this is our desires. Because of this excessive desire, our depression is created. And whoever you go to for help to get rid of depression, then do a little research about that guuy and you will find that he himself suffers from depression. I think one of the way to get rid of it is to do a lot of physical work. Because from what I have seen, the daily wage workers around us do not have much depression, the main reason for this is that they work hard all day and come home at night and eat and fall asleep. Here they have no opportunity to think excessively.

It is not true that everyone is depressed. Desires contribute to sadness or even depression, but it is not generally true that everyone is depressed because of what they desire. I may desire to own something, but remain satisfied with the one available to me. 

The major causes of depression are stress and social factors. Stress is a result of pressure from family and financial responsibilities. Depression caused by social factors is due to community demand, work, rejection, and relationships.

Traumatic experiences in life can lead to a depressive state and I am sure that your friend got better when he let people in that looks like he got the cure but depression is something that doesn't go away like that and as a commoner, we should not be the one to say they are better because they can go to that depressed state at any time if something triggers them and it can be more aggressive.
