Now the day's young generation is suffering from depression. Depression is a common illness all over the world. More than 264 million people are affected by depression. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, in schools, or with family members. And the worst depression can lead to being suicide. Approx. Eight lakh people die due to suicide every year.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in 15-29 years old. The burden of depression and other mental health conditions is on the rise globally. Let's discuss the significant causes of depression:-
1. Abuse:-
At present, physical, sexual, mental, and emotional abuse are widespread in our society. Due to abuse, so many people are suffering from depression. They can't even focus on work or daily life. They always want to stay alone. Sometimes they commit suicide because no one listens to them.
2. Age:-
Those who crossed 40 or 50 in age they also suffered from depression. They can't find surrounding like they want. And also family are tortured in some cases. Due to that they are always lived alone and thinking too much. That's why they feel depressed.
3. Death or a loss:-
Death is a universal truth. But sometimes, we can't handle the loss of loved ones. Due to that, sometimes we suffer from depression. "Death may be the greatest of all human blessings."- Socrates.
4. Certain medications:-
Some drugs, like isotretinoin, the antiviral drug interferon-alpha and corticosteroids can increase your risk of depression.
4. Gender:-
Women are about twice as likely as men to become depressed. Because women take anything so personal very quickly, the hormonal changes that women go through at different times of their lives may play a role.
5. Other personal problems:-
There are so many problems in our minds. Some are like official problems, family problems, and some other personal problems. Due to concerns, people have mental illnesses. "Nobody has a perfect life. Everybody has their problems. Some people know how to deal with it perfectly."
6. Serious illness:-
Sometimes, depression happens along with some major illness or may be triggered by another medical condition.
Now it's time to discuss that, how to overcome with depression:-
● Meaning:- Find small ways to be of service to yourself-
First, find personal meaning in your life and then serve it. Remember service doesn't have to be big count. "Success like happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue as the unintended side effect of one's dedication."- Viktor E. Frankl.
●Work on your goals:-
Most of the people feel guilty when we talking about goals because they set unworkable goals. You have to develop workable plans for example:-
1. Find something you can control. (i.e.) it doesn't depend on others' decisions.)
2. Learn manage to yourself in any situation.
3. Realistic for you (nor for others).If you found your goals and became successful.
● Relationships:- Focus on people who lift you.
Interact with that person who brings you up (not who brings you down). While it's ok to spend some alone time, find a balance and don't isolate yourself, or the depression will linger.
●Exercise and focus on your diet:- Do meditation and work out daily. If you moderate your exercise five times a week (it means 30 minutes per day), it can dramatically help your mood. And you have also focused on your diet. Drink water as much as you can. Take healthy food which contain vitamin, protein etc. Stay away from junk foods.
●Sleep regularly:- Every human body needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep regularly. One late night sleep and excessive sleep feed depression. Don't try to solve problems late at night—no matter what medication you're taking or doing several of these activities everyday. Especially when you don't feel good is vital to the treatment of depression. So take sleep atheist 7 to 8 hours daily.
So conclusion is that you have to fight with it. Depression is also a disease like others. If anyone is suffering from depression then help them instead if poking it.
"I found that with depression, one of the most important things you could realize that you're not alone."
