Are we becoming too comfortable with depression?

[Jostern]

There are so many things that can lead to depression, just like the Op have mentioned, most especially lack of money and lack of financial enablement is something that can lead to depression, peer pressure is also a factor that can lead to depression, people have to start taking there mental health seriously, so many people are depressed without knowing that they’re depressed, the government have to provide medical health services where people can go and be checked, something like Therapy is always recommended for people who are in a situation where they feel like depression is paramount between people, the ugly part is that so many people are depressed and they don’t know what is happening.

[Taricoins]

Whether we like it or not, depression is paramount even in the beginning of times but it gets worse as time goes by because of peer pressure and influence, especially from social media, the problem is when it becomes chronic, that's when it gets bad and help is needed because it can even lead to suicide.

We can't curb or stop depression because we can stop inflation, or war, love which can lead to heartbreak and accidents, this things causes depression but we can always find the happiness in our situations.

Depression is really a very serious mental problem now. Many people ignore it as just a bad mood or temporary upset. But the matter is not ignoreable in any way. And if it continues like this for a long time, physical problems can also arise. Especially headaches can occur, sleep is reduced and concentration on  important work is not given. Even heart disease can sometimes arise if one is in long-term depression. Here, we have to be responsible here more than the government . Everything should not be imposed on the government. Because every country has a system for treating mental illness. If the government wants, it can take some steps to increase awareness. Which will help people to give importance to this type of mental illness. If any physical or mental problem is the reason for feeling bad for a long time, then should definitely go to a professional, maybe a doctor or psychiatrist.

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?

This sounds more like a problem men usually have, because they are known for being bottled up, less open and saying "i am ok", when they are supposed to talk about their feelings. Men tend to think they are expected to do so, that it makes then tougher. When in fact it makes them weaker and less in control.

If someone doesn't deal with their feelings, feelings will end up dealing with them. And if someone has unresolved issues, they won't even see it coming, it just takes them over. Sometimes it's outbursts and sometimes violence against others or themselves.

But in short: no one is stopping you to talk about them but yourself. If your friends don't want to listen, you have wrong circle of friends.

[Royal Cap]

this things causes depression but we can always find the happiness in our situations.

However in the case of depression, just finding happiness in the situation is not always enough. Some situations become so difficult that it is not possible to handle everything with your own willpower. Like after being unemployed for a long time or losing someone close to you, just thinking positively does not make everything better. In that case you should seek support from people and I would say if necessary, see a psychiatrist.

[gracreavix]

I don't think anyone is actually  comfortable being depressed. What if they are actually hiding it instead of comfort. Pretending all is well when actually it isn't. I wouldn't call that being comfortable. Because if there was an actual solution they would have taken it without even blinking. And those that might not take it might be suffering from trauma. They would need guidance to be free from that state. So no one is comfortable in depression.

[Unknown Op]

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.

If you have someone you can talk to without fear of being judged, it makes big difference when person is going through a phase of depression. Emotional support can be provided by friends and family members. But we should not assume that depression is caused by loneliness or by family problems. Sometimes person can have a lovely family, friends and comfortable life but they still go through depression. When someone is feeling sad or depressed, we should listen to them because they do not need immediate advice; they just want someone to listen to them patiently about what they are going through. If condition continues for longer period of time, then person should take professional help. Good social connections, having healthy routine, financial support and also having supportive environment can help.

People do not like depression by nature. Those who are depressed also love to talk about the good moments and no one wants anyone to belittle them for any reason. They try to hide the fact that they are living in a very difficult life. Depression is considered a weak side of a person. However, a depressed person should build a good relationship with a trusted person so that he can share his mental pain. But if he cannot find such a person, then it can be a big problem. Depression gives rise to various diseases in humans. Those who continue to suffer from depression will definitely be sick in the long run. Everyone should stand by such people. If those who are suffering from such illnesses can be given a motivation, then they too can return to a normal life.

Depression is the most talked things in our time as every other person is suffering from this thing. There are many causes of depression like stress and society pressure to meet both ends. Some people are blessed enough to have caring people in their lives who help them to cope with this in early stages . Some people who are lonely develops acute form to depression which become suicidal and devastating for them. The main thing is if you know or find someone who seems depressed you should talk to them because may be your little time can be a big thing for them and they may feel happy ot relaxed because of you .

Depression is one that kills very fast but saying we comfortable with it is not true because there is awareness campaign against depression and people are talking about it on the media. I fell in depression some years back and it was not a good one or experience. I was advise to stay alone in the house and that i should keep talking to people,go out a lot and it help me out. Nobody can be comfortable with depression. NGO's in my country always go out on awareness campaign enlightenment, some go schools and even churches to do that. So your assumption is not correct and can be disputed anywhere and anytime. Depression is real and i also join campaign against it. Now,do you think people are comfortable with depression? My answer is no. My question is (1) what causes depression. (2) How can we manage depression . (1) Answer -Depression can be caused by so many factors e.g gambling,loss of love one, divorce,loss of job, missed opportunity.(2) How to manage depression - depression can be managed if someone puts his emotions in check because if someone is emotional wrecked that can lead depression so manage your emotions properly

At some point you'll realise that what you call depression is basically LACK! The lack of something can put you under stress, be it finance or emotional unavailability or lack of a skill set or even absence of a good physical attribute. If we learn to be content with what's readily available and work towards what isn't then you might not necessarily be depressed. Like the saying goes "when the desirable is not available then the available becomes the desirable.

If people's desires are not fulfilled in reality, it can give rise to depression for them. Many rich people also have depression, how do you mention lack as a reason for depression. Every person has a different personal life and their problems exist and the extent of these problems can be more or less. Some suffer from depression due to financial reasons or some due to family reasons.

You have given a good analogy "You should be content with what you have". I agree with you on this point, if we can limit our desires, we will not have depression. Being content with what we have and thanking the Creator.

We live in a world where some people easily overlook things or consider some things as less important. Some of the things we consider to be less important are the things that could literally lead to loss of lives and one of those things in my opinion is depression which is more of a psychological issue which often leads to suicide thoughts.

The main reason people do not pay much attention to other people with depression is dew to the fact that they think depression is a rare thing but research have shown that depression can happen to anybody at any point in time, some times it could related to financial pressure, peer pressure, family, work stress or emotional trauma.

I don't understand, you want to get depressed and expect people to care about you? The world is too busy to care about anyone who is depressed that is why as a human being you have to be emotionally strong and don't feel like anyone will come through for you. The world is a harsh environment therefore never allow yourself to be in a situation where you will need someone to tell you not to worry that everything will be alright. Everyone is more concerned about their business and life, it is not supposed to be so as we are supposed to look out for one another but since the world have developed that mentality, you also have to build a tough mentality so that nothing will break you down completely to the extent that you will be hoping on someone out there to calm you down. Never allow yourself to fall into depression otherwise you might find yourself in a situation where you will feel like committing suicide will be the remedy because you will feel so lonely and abandoned.

You are absolutely right and true. Poverty and deprivation are not just financial problems, but there are also many social and psychological factors behind it. Because when a person does not have access to health, education and other facilities, it becomes difficult for them to improve their lives. Similarly, social pressure also makes a person's life difficult. In my opinion, it is not enough to provide assistance to the poor, but they should be provided with opportunities through which they can stand on their own feet. For this, it is important that the government as well as the people should understand their responsibility to be considerate of the people around them and treat them with respect and dignity. Real development is possible only when we give the opportunity to the smaller classes to move forward.

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.

I understand and agree with your point, it is good that you came out of depression, but I don't think that depression can be ruled out just because someone is grateful, comfortable with their lies, or he is energetic. Sometimes depression cannot be seen it is not look like sadness, or it does not look like person has lost their life. There are people who looks very energetic and Happy from outside, but they are in depression.

Even being successful, social,  cheerful and full of energy can also struggle with depression without others even recognising or realise that. What you went through after losing your mother is clearly very painful for someone. And I am very glad to hear that you have recovered from that pain. But anyone can go into depression sometimes that is not about becoming depressed. It is about recognizing the issue when something is getting wrong and finding the courage to seek support or ask for the help.

I agree with your point about healing that it does not mean forgetting the person that we have lost, but it is all about smiling again while carrying the pain of losing the person that you love we have to live with the pain.

Because there are those people who make fun of those who are depressed right now. They invalidate the feelings of these people because they think that it's normal to have this feeling even it is not. Someone who's going through a tough time needs a helping hand and support group to overcome depression. But what these people do isn't those but instead of helping, they're making them as a subject of their entertainment and they're even fighting over against an argument that depression is a normal feeling and it shouldn't be taken seriously.

I don't think I mentioned that I am struggling with depression or recovered from it successfully but I know about depression and interact with the one who is affected that is why I said don't mistake them being happy again as cured and we can't even say someone is in depression until we evaluate them.

And losing somene who we loved can traumatize us but it is part of the nature of evolution and one can't miss that out.

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.

Emptiness does not disappear by just understanding depression scientifically. People feel disconnected from themselves, but they know the causes, symptoms and treatment of depression. It is all because of the fast life that we are living. Today, modern life is keeping us busy, constantly consuming information, distracted and leaving us very little time to understand ourselves and see self reflection. Sometimes we just try to follow a particular routine that the people around us follow without even knowing that what sort of satisfaction and meaning it can bring to our lives. Information cannot always solve problems but it surely can help us to understand our struggle. We need pure and meaningful relationships, emotional connections and also the time to understand our emotions and ourselves.

We have mastered the act of being depressed because it’s no longer new in our society. People now make it a common anxiety mood because of the continuous negativity around our mind. When our targets are not been met as human it tends towards o create a false dopamine around our feelings that we are not up to the challenge which affects our output, thereby causing us to react in that way. We have normalized depression in our social because it is a common feeling among everyone around us in the society.
