What is Depression Today?
Depression is a very common and very serious mental illness. It is a type of disease in which the brain stops functioning actively like before. It is a mood disorder in which the person feels sadness and a lack of interest. It can happen for various reasons like loss of job, breakup, death of your loved ones, sad incidents, accidents, bullying, work overload, stress, etc. Its symptoms can vary from mild to very severe. We all go through this phase at least once in our lives. Every person is depressed at some point in their life. I also suffered from depression in my teenage and early 20s due to many reasons. In the end, the person who fights this depression will come out very strong. No one can ever make him depressed again as they have already found a way to get out of it. You may have noticed that depression has become very common nowadays due to nuclear families, studying or working abroad away from families, social media bullying, comparisons, teasing in school and college, unhappy married life, low income, depression after giving birth to a newborn baby, extramarital affairs, etc.
There are many types of depression but every type has only one solution, to treat it either by yourself or by taking others’ help. It can be healed and you can be back to your new life again. But many people lose confidence and make suicide attempts to get rid of all their problems. But taking your own life is not the solution. You may die but all of your family members, friends, and relationships suffer because of you. Suicide or self-harming is also not acceptable in any religion if you read all the religious books.
From adults to children, everyone comes across this phase at one time or the other in their life. Depression can be only for a certain period or it can be with you lifelong if you don’t treat yourself at the right time.

Treatment:-
Treatment is very essential for any type of disease and depression is also a type of illness that has to be treated as soon as possible.
If not treated at an early stage people develop suicidal thoughts or hurting themselves(self-harm) and take away their lives which is a gift of god and very precious. Remember that Suicide is just a temporary solution to your problem, it is not a permanent solution.
- Yoga(self-meditation).
- Talking to a FRIEND or RELATIVE
- Visiting PHYSCHRIAST
- Enough SLEEP
- Exploring Nature.
- Try to do new things.
- Make yourself BUSY
- Eat Healthy Diet
- Vacation
- Medicine
Always REMEMBER that you are not ALONE, there is always someone or the other to help you out. It can be yourself too. So before taking any bad decisions like SUICIDE give yourself some time and listen to people who are trying to help you get out of this mental illness. Remember the POSITIVE moments in your LIFE and move on.
“Where there is SUN there is MOON.
Where there is LIGHT there is DARKNESS.
Where there is DARKNESS there is HOPE.
And where there is HOPE there is LIFE.”
