                                                            DEPRESSION 

      Feeling sad, down, or discouraged are natural human emotions. They are reactions to the hassles and hurdles of life. We all feel this way at times.

      We may feel sad over an argument with a friend, a breaking up, or a best friend moving out of town. We might be disappointed about doing poorly on a test. The death of someone close can lead to a specific kind of sadness, grief. If we feel these at the highest level,this can be called as a depression.

      Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behaviours, feelings and physical well-being.Depressed people may feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless guilty, irritable, or restless. They may lose interest in activities that once were pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating. They can have difficulty in concentrating, remembering details or making decisions.Also, they may attempt suicide. 


                I want to talk about some signs of depression.

   Negative feelings and mood:

      Depression involves feeling a negative, low mood for weeks or more. Someone with depression might feel unusually sad, discouraged, or defeated. He or she may feel hopeless, helpless, or alone. Some people feel guilty, unworthy, rejected, or unloved. Any or all of these emotions can be part of a depressed mood.Depression doesn't always cause people to feel mostly sad, though. For some people, depression shows up as a lasting mood of feeling irritable, easily annoyed, angry, or alienated.


   Negative thinking : 


     When somebody has depression, it can cloud everything. The world looks bleak, and the person's thoughts reflect that hopelessness and helplessness. Depression can cause someone to think that life isn't worth living. That can lead people with depression to think about harming themselves or about ending their own life.

    Low energy and motivation:

      People with depression may feel tired, drained, or exhausted.They might even move more slowly or take longer to do things. It can feel as if everything requires more effort. People who feel this way might have trouble motivating themselves to do or care about anything.

         Concentration:

      Depression can make it hard to concentrate and focus. It might be hard to complete schoolwork, pay attention in class, remember lessons, or stay focused on what others say.

        Physical symptoms:

    People can feel depression in their bodies as well as their minds. Some people have an upset stomach or loss of appetite. Some might gain or lose weight. Some people notice headaches and sleeping problems when they're depressed.

        Social withdrawing:

     Because of feelings of sadness and low energy, people with depression may pull away from friends and family or from activities they once enjoyed. This usually makes them feel more lonely and isolated.
    
    

        For short,I can say that depression adversely affects a person's family, work or school life, sleeping and eating habits.
      As to the treatments of this feeling,there are many solutions like talking to the counseller,therapy and so on...However, I believe the best way of coping with it is ourselves.We should believe that we will go over this process,we will be happy again.
  
    Every people around us including ourselves can experience this mood so, I have chosen this topic.I hope everyone can cope with this mood.Life worths living .:)
