In this time of the pandemic, when all of us are stuck at home everyday life has become very tough. Most of us are finding it hard to wake up every day and carry on with our life. All of us need a touch of hope in our lives, but as they say, the people who crave love the most ask for it in the most unloving way. YES!!! I am talking about depression.
people usually confuse depression with sadness and that's where the misdiagnosis starts. People who suffer from depression are not always sad and lonely, a lot of people who are a victim of depression live a normal life where the socialize, go to parties, laugh, talk etc. Depression is not something that constantly stays with someone, in fact, it is something that hits you suddenly when you are not at all ready for it.
HOW TO LOOK BEYOND THE SMILE…
One of the most asked questions about depression is knowing whether someone is going through something like this, and you will not believe it but, the answer to this question is quite simple: TALKING, but!!! Yes, just every day talking everyday helps in the early recognition of depression and can act as an early treatment for it.
See think of it like this, every disease has some symptoms, some very obvious and some hidden, but the symptoms are always there. The case is the same with depression. If you are in a regular conversation with someone you will be able to recognize any change in their voice or their way of talking and if you are someone who is in a regular conversation with them they are most likely to trust you enough to feel comfortable in telling you what is it which is bothering them.
They will also feel better knowing that they have someone by their side and they are not alone in this mess. We all get so busy in our day to day activities that we start ignoring even the people we love the most and that is where the problem starts. just a five to ten minutes conversation every day with your friend, your mom, your dad, your sister, your neighbour or a total stranger can bring a positive change in your as well as in their's life and it can save you from being TOO LATE!!!.
