Are we becoming too comfortable with depression?

[Anayochukwu]

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?

Loneliness and stress are the major thing that causes depression and I have been there before so I know how it feels, some people are claim to be introverted are low key depressed and they always try to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, being in your own comfort zone is good but it shouldn't be too much. However, there are also some extroverted people that are depressed and they go out and hang out with friends to cover up so until a depressed person comes out and seek for help the best way to manage it is to be kind to everyone out there because everyone have their own secret battles that they are not talking about.

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.

You have a point and that's true because a lifestyle of living in some of the places usually affect people to speak up when they're depressed because when they would feel to discuss their problem with someone but think about how the person will start sharing their secret to other persons usually make them to remain silent by keeping everything to themselves but however what I would suggest to anybody who would be on that position is to go for a primary care doctor which is even more preferable than discussing their problem to someone that would judge them because with the primary care doctor they will be given a step to follow in other to break free from the depression.

The topic of depression is one that cannot and will not be easily satisfied, it's not that people don't acknowledge depression, facts remains that everyone is depressed but alot of people don't have the time, money or energy to even face that depression and they end up storing it somewhere in the back of their mind until it metamorphosis' into something else. Depression matters and acknowledging it takes a step further into reducing the number of depression related suicides

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

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.

I was watching the television when I saw the news about the Indian government trying to replace students hostel ceiling fans with spring hook to prevent those that are planning to commit suicide through hanging themselves on the ceiling fans to have no success.
This life is not favourable to most people and that is why we should never judge a book by it cover. A lot of students, house wives, youths, workers are passing through pain they are not able to share and those that are not strong enough to face their fear may think of committing suicide because they feel they can not take it any longer.

Depression is real, but one thing I’ve learned is that you only feel depressed if you give yourself the chance to do so. Depression is mostly a feeling that erupts in a person, when they give room for tension due to tough situations, feelings and emotions, even though they can actually choose to keep all these in check. I’m not saying everyone who are depressed are weak, one could be strong and still carry the emotional burden of others, but finding an anchor to always hold on to whenever the feeling wants to set in is more or less the best way to handle depression and keep that feel in in complete check.

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.

now a days depression is a very common problem for people. people depressed for many causes. the world has been growing rapidly. peoples needs has been increasing at the same rate. people can depressed for work pressure, political,social,personal problems. peoples way of thinking are changing. most of the people suffering for this mater but people don't take it seriously. mental health is also important  like physical health. so lead a tension free life is a great concern.

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.

A sad story'When he finally decided to open his doors for people to enter, his pains reduced a lot, 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.

When someone lose his close buddy. it is difficult to tolerate moreover he become alone. when he feels lonely the problem should be increase for him. that time he needs company. when he talk to someone and try to join his daily work and surrounding people support him mentally. it will be easy for him to come out from the situation.

Actually the biggest problem with depression is that it is not easy to understand how bad things can be inside someone based on how he looks from the outside, It is unfair to consider that someone suffers from depression just because he likes to be alone. On the other hand it should not be taken for granted that everything is okay with those people who are always happy and smiling. For my part it is extremely significant to hear someone out and not make any judgments about him.

If your country is making the price high for you, then it is quite depressing because the routine of a normal family is the same. If suddenly there is pressure from the country, such houses start getting destroyed and they have saved some money, that too gets mixed up in this. Apart from this, there are many other things and reasons which are making us depressed. Yes, the biggest one is following the words of family members and their habits, this is the most depressing thing because a person lives according to his own will and means, whether he is drunk or healthy, and when these things come, the same things give him means in which he is involved.

In the present era, many people are victims of depression but they live their lives as if they have no problems and hide their problems and loneliness from everyone. People who are depressed do not cry all the time, there are many who talk to everyone, even try to make others happy, but do not let anyone understand their inner pain.
A depressed person has such a problem in life where his mental state is very bad, in what situations he often has negative thoughts about himself but does not tell anyone about them. There are many who want to hide themselves due to depression, try to stay away from people and friends, which breaks him down even more mentally.
At this stage, his physical condition and mental stress, as well as thoughts of the past and fear and despair about the future, consume the depressed person. It is certainly very difficult to get out of depression, but if the person's attitude is a little strong, it is important to socialize with people instead of keeping yourself alone.
Exercising on time without overthinking and getting enough sleep, which brings a depressed person to a solution. You should never let yourself get depressed just because bad times will come in life. Instead, it is more effective to take every step well to get out of it and spend quality time with your family.
