Are we becoming too comfortable with depression?

[GiftedMAN]

Many people are scared of speaking out because of stigmatisation. This has killed a lot of people and their mental health even before they reach the peak of their lives. Depression is real and it requires collective effort of all at all times. Both depressed and non depressed people needs to collaborate and continue fighting hard to educate, engage people in proper classes or engagements that talks about enlightening people about depression. Let them know that’s not the end for them and they can get to become a better version of themselves if they let go off what is bothering them that puts them in that state.

We live among people who are very quick to judge and condemn others without finding out what is going through their minds and how best to help them come out of the problems or what is causing them to be depressed. The government should set up agencies to monitor and address the issue of depression people needs to be aware of the dangers of depression they need to be educated so that they can speak out and seek for help instead of doing things that will take their lives.  I have been in that situation, I almost gave up because I felt everybody was against me including my friends, nobody wants to help nor speak to me but I was lucky no to harm myself because the thought was coming to my mind, we need to help people cause a lot of people has died because people were too far to help them.

Depression is real if we value human lives we need to stop judging people.

Sometimes, so many people are fighting battles secretly that nobody knows about, and instead of showing them love and support, most at times we end up judging and condemn them without knowing that not everyone who we see smiling is actually happy deep down, and thank God you were able to overcome that difficult moment in your life and also we need to learn to listen to people, check up on them, and offer help without waiting for them to ask if you have to help.

You say we condemn them huh, but how can we get to know what is in the mind of someone when the person has chosen not to speak up. My people will always say that a closed mouth is a close destiny, which is true because help cannot come when the helper don't have a clue on what you are suffering from. I know how some people can be so secretive about everything and they will not want to share something that is killing them slowly.

No one say that you should take a megaphone and sit on millennium tower or on the statue of Liberty and begin telling all persons your problem.

But there is close friends that person could talk to, seek answers. If no friends, then the person have family members that they can talk to. If they don't then they can book for online doctors from AWA Doc or anyone they can find.  The main thing is that they share their problems because that is the most effective way that person can use to treat depression.

I doubt people chose to be silent on the first go, they might tried to share with someone even if they don't have anyone they will choose the social media as a way of vent out and when they feel neglected even there then the silence will be their ultimate move. And honestly people don't care what others are going through, I am talking about the majority of the people not just everyone.

Now they can get the consultation online that is easier which can actually help than other ways.

Depression is real if we value human lives we need to stop judging people.

The reason why people are quick to judge others is because they use the experience of someone else to analyse another person's situation. And we live in a world where many people tell lies just to get pity from the public so those are tbe things that makes people judge someone so quick because they are just assuming a similar situation as someone else.

Everything is not about the government, I don't know why every little thing we will begin to seek for government intervention. We as humans need to be strong for ourselves and stop thinking that people will care for us in our weak moments. The world is getting tough each day so we should develop a tough mentality that will help us to keep being alive regardless of what we are passing through. The government already has rehabilitation centres for people who needs rehab, should they also establish another center for depressed people also? Some things just sound so awkward in the ear. Everybody should be strong for themselves because there are people who are passing through worst situation than yours.

I think the purpose why people don’t talk about depression always is because many people don’t take it serious. Most people will tell someone who’s depressed to cheer up or stop overthinking, without even trying to find out what’s going on with that person. I know everyone is fighting a different battle, all we need is to learn how to pay attention and learn how to show love, and also support people in  any a way that you can without judging them.

You are right, there are many who, without understanding the pain of a person's mind, just tell him to be good, but if that person tries to understand the pain of that depressed person and gives him good advice, or talks to him like him, then the depression decreases a lot. We easily tell someone to think positively, but it is never easy, personally I have also spent a lot of time in depression, in such a situation if there is no one who will understand me like I do, or talk to me, then this depression starts to deepen. And so I share these things with my friend, and then he talks to me like me and gives me different ways and after talking to him freely, I can recover a lot.
Actually, if you want to bring positive changes in people's lives, you need compassionate people who will give them some time, unconditionally support them, and spend some time with them like them. However, another thing in this case is that if the depressed person keeps his pain in his mind, then no one else will be able to give him the right advice easily. Rather, he should open up to someone who understands him best and talks to him best, like in my case, I tell my friend everything about me.

A person who lives alone has depression, depression is basically an unwanted pain in the human mind that we cannot understand from the outside. To overcome this depression, many people indulge in many types of pleasures, I also see a person who is involved in loneliness and depression playing gambling. He is old, I talked to him, his desires were very painful, maybe his family does not give him any kind of time, so after I spent a few hours with him,
his mind became much lighter. And he felt very happy talking to me. So depression takes away the happiness and peace of a person's mind, so it is definitely very important to discuss this depression.

No body can be comfortable with sickness,bi will emphatically tell you that depressed people are not happy with themselves been found in such condition or predicament, it's only when you have Carry out some questionnaire check or test in the societies where depressed people exist and do thorough analysis you can know if this question is correct about people of depression been comfortable with their condition, depression is a dangerous sickness which many don't know is sickness and it kills silently, those that know depression in details will not even advice or pray for any to be in that condition , depression is the results many commit suicide, and people of such only need love, caring and regular check up by friends neighbors and medical treatment, I will said that no one will be comfortable with such as condition to life.

I fully agree with your statement. Depression often can be experienced as a general sense of grumpiness or short-term sadness which complicates the situation. The outward appearance of a person does not always give insight into the extent of his suffering on the inside. Hence it is incorrect to judge anybody without considering the mental status or to tell anyone to accept such an atmosphere. Instead it's essential to listen attentively be there for them and encourage them to use professional help if needed. Proper treatment of depression though goes hand in hand with the love and care. Most important depression sufferers are not weak and the suffering is no illusion. Sometimes all that is needed are a deep inquiry listening without judgment and a helping hand in time to make a huge difference in a person's life.

That is why it is not good for one to be quick to judge or condemn others, because they might be smiling while silently dealing with difficulties. Showing them kindness can make a difference and offering support can give them hope and remind them that they are not alone. This can encourage them to keep going, even when life gets tough. One thing people often overlook is that being kind is not enough, sometimes what people need most is someone who can listen to them.

A person tries to remain happy and cheerful despite how much pain he is in, how much struggle he is having, how much responsibility he has, and the thought of the future, but at some point the situation becomes very difficult, and then due to the additional pressure of everything, a strong depression is created in the person. And when a person can understand these depressions and when that person can tell his own thoughts to someone who will listen to him, then it becomes a very beneficial thing for that depressed person. Depression is present in everyone and whatever the reason, when one tells the thoughts of one's mind to someone and discusses these matters with him in a somewhat relaxed and free manner, then through this talking, the depressions of one's mind start to go away to some extent, and thus the mind is lightened. But in this case, we should be sympathetic and sincere, agreeing with them and when we just listen to their words, this will be a great thing for them. Because every depressed person needs someone who thinks like them, understands their words, and will not argue but rather be on their side.

One thing I have come to understand from people who tell others to move on is that they have their own baggage that they are lifting that they don't want to stop to look at if not they will be overwhelmed, facts still remain that almost everybody is depressed especially does living in poverty line but they know if they start dwelling on that, they won't move on. Personally I think only those that have money have the luxury to focus on depression

You're correct so many people are really scared of speaking up because of being judged, criticised or even isolated that's why most depressed person's will rather wallow in their pains or in what they're going through. We really have to come together as people to help those who are depressed so much is happening this period and people are really carrying so much burden and pains everyday that's why people just slump on the street others die because they didn't ask for help so we have to watch out for our loved ones, neighbourhood, church, street, children and check on people that you haven't heard from for long time, if someone just becomes silent for a long time, or keeps withdrawing, or saying suicidal thoughts we have to get them help immediately, listen to people, care and show love where necessary and don't judge because truly like you said depression is real.

That's true, people faces one challenges or another, and when one advises others to move on, it means they  understand what it takes. But one thing many people don't understand is that some challenges are not easy to overcome. It can take time, sometimes years, to overcome from certain experiences, such as trauma and depression. Everyone has a different capacity to deal with challenges, but the important thing is not to allow the past to hold them back forever, especially when it comes to achieving their goals.

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? depression comes from many ways, work loan, low income which can meet with price hike, conjugal life, from children, country's economic political situation and many other ways. this problem has been increasing day by day. the world has been growing fast and fast and peoples thinking also changing at the same rate. living style, family matters everything effecting alongside. a depressed person is concern for his family. but some situation he can't share his problem with others.so now it is a major problems in society.

Depression is very dangerous and we shouldn't pray for it because normally it doesn't appear public that is why people will not notice what exactly thing you are feeling, I've watched some of the celebrities talking about themselves, but I was shocked because I thought they are the most happiest human being on Earth not knowing that they were suffering deeply but no one knows.

Depression is very dangerous but you will not know until it happens to you, you know people always like to talk freely when things are going well for them, at that moment they know how to talk very well, that is why sometimes we cannot judge the book by its cover.

What do you mean people are not talking about depression.
People are talking about depression in social media and TV. I see people talk about depression always because people are committed suicide day in day out.
Recently, a law student in my country committed suicide and nobody knows the reason for that action.
Depression discussion is a very sensitive topic and even the government talk about it and encourage people to seek help when they are depressed. Maybe it is only in this forum that it is not really discussed.

Who will even listen to you if you decide to speak up?
Sometimes people are afraid that they might be called weak or a loser if they decide to Open up, so it's because of that we see a lot of depressed young people out there that are fighting their battles alone and are refusing to open up to the next person because it might be used against him or her.

I believe that the way people are responding to people's plight is the main reason a depressed person will not want to speak up because he will feels like his weakness or his complain will be used against him or her, so until our society start taking people's complaints serious, i don't think that a depressed person will want to be opening up when they find themselves in a situation like that.

When someone tells us about their problems, how we treat them largely determines whether they will have the courage to share their feelings with us again in the future. If a young person tells a friend about their failures or financial problems, but the friend, instead of helping them, ridicules them and spreads the matter to others, then naturally the young person will trust anyone else and refrain from talking. However, a broken young person does not always need money or a solution to his problems. Many times, when someone listens to him carefully, does not blame him and is by his side, he feels a lot of relief.

Those who live with such problems and cannot find anyone to talk they keep their own lives at risk. We need to create an environment in our society where people are not considered weak when they talk about their problems, but are respected and encouraged to speak up without fear.
