One of the most rising problems among the present generation today is how people mistake depression for just to be a mere wave of sadness. and how when somebody undergoes or understands they are going through depression there own family members or the society just suppress them making them feel like it is just sadness and they just have to get over it.
When you catch a cold your family rushes to the doctor, when you undergo depression or feel sad more than what you actually feel, family just terms said to be ‘a phase of life’. and yes it is a phase of life and it is to be properly treated with medication if needed and through counselling if that is required.
Depression can come to people at the most unexpected times. and if you ever feel that you are undergoing this, instead of telling yourself that you are just sad or you just need a break from things try to get proper treatment. just like any physical conditions that can occur to you, depression is also a mental side of it . to anyone who still things at depression is just a ‘fake act’, please have the mind to gather more awareness of mental health issues from different webinars or even from the internet at the comfort of your own house or any other place.
Personally, I feel really offended when people just turn depression to be sadness and this is exactly why I am writing this blog today. even if you are not willing to cooperate please be willing to understand. depression is one of the hardest phasez of life that one can go through and to find your way out of the dark, you need proper help, and seeking that help doesn't make you any less, you're standing up for only what you deserve. Because of the so called patriarchy of the society, when someone seeks a psychologist or a psychiatrist for their mental health issues, they are just dumb as people who are mad or crazy. but this is a very wrong information for you to believe in, because people who attend counselling sessions or seek therapists for professional help or go to psychiatrists for proper medication take up a lot of courage to come forward in such a society which only blames them or suppress them to its own traditional borders.
Through this article I just want to put forward depression is a very serious condition, and not just depression let it be any other mental health issue. and I kindly request anyone of you reading this right now, if you are going through it please be willig to go forward and seek help.
