Depression - common problem today, is still a stigma?

Depression  : According to World Health Organization, "Depression is the most common mental disorder .Globally more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from this ."

 Depression, in literal sense , is a state of low mood and loss of interest . A recent case of sushant singh rajput who was famous and phenomenal actor committed suicide and this incident shook whole world.Nobody realised that behind such innocent smile that person was suffering so much pain, atlast he was a brilliant actor and he played role of hiding his fear and problems well too.But that does not mean this ends and all is normal rather we have to discuss and deal with it instead of avoiding, what we have always  did ,otherwise we wont have lost such a soul.

• Things we need to understand :

◇First of all , we need to understand that depression is common psychological problem. Therefore,if you are suffering from depression,  stop being ashamed of it. IT'S NORMAL!

◇ Secondly , depression doesn't mean you are mentally ill or weak. Its just a phase that probably every 2nd or 3rd person undergoes.

So , instead of thinking it something abnormal , go to the doctor or counselor if you are suffering from severe depression and get yourself free from it . It's just like other problems that do have solution.

• Symptoms you need to observe  within or in your near or dear ones:

The most common drawback in our lives is that we keep ignoring things and let them get worse. Once they turn worse ,we panic. 

Don't  ignore if you notice  some of these symptoms in your body >

■Persistent and pervasive sadness ■ loss of interest in all activities 

■ physical tiredness 

■ lack of concentration in almost everything you do 

■Appetite changes ( excessive hunger or no hunger )

■ sleep Abnormalities 

■ Suicidal thoughts 

■ Finding yourself Guilty in almost everything 

■Negative automatic thoughts 

■Anger Issues

If it's more than 2 weeks that you are observing these symptoms,  may it be in yourself or in any of your loved ones then don't ignore . It's quite possible that they are under certain depression. 

• Thing's  you need to do ,to fight this silent killer and throw it out of your body :

>Things that parents need to do: The most important role is of parents in fighting with this disease . 

   ¤ Reduce the "GAP" : The gap that we often call as "generation gap" need to be reduced even if you need to change yourself a bit. Trust us , it would be for the betterment of your child . STOP ACTING AS A TYPICAL AUTHORITATIVE PARENT . Be as friendly as you can with your child so that he/she could "poreout" no matter what is going inside him or her. 

   ¤ Never pressurize your child: We have been seeing from many couple of years that 10th or 12th boards have become a bugbear . Childrens in 10th and 12th are as if they are going on battle in which if they loose, their life will end . 

Remove this sort of pressure from your childrens life . Assure them that it's just like any other class exams and they just need to give their best .

   

  ¤ Start giving and spending time with your childrens : In today's life of hustle and bustle we are loosing ourselves ,our relationships .Instead of just being busy on your phones or office work or household chores may it be anything ,take out some time for your childrens .  There are many things they want to tell but stops thinking you won't listen. 

¤ Don't  scold your child much and stop always find his /her faults  :

Sometimes the children hesitates to come straight away to their parents thinking they will beat them up or scold them. Develop trust in your child , always listen! first and try to resolve his /her problem rather than finding his faults and saying that you must be have done something. 

¤ Develop trust in your child
