Generally, people always want happiness in life. They want to get all that they think/wish at the time of need. May it be fortune/their destiny, many people get what they want easily. So, that those people lead their life happily. But it does not happen with everybody. So those people whose want does not get fulfilled, lose their mental balance. When they find the things which they want are not coming according to their way, it leads to depression. Depression can attack children, teenagers, young, middle-aged, or even old persons and definitely it is one of the most dangerous social issues.
We may have seen so often that sometimes a child feels lonely when he/she does find any company to play or if nobody pays heed to his/her wants. His mind gets disturbed in turn his /her behaviors get changed. Either he/she becomes violent or silent at the time of reciprocation. Also most of the time people do not understand it properly and it changes the whole situation in a negative manner. This is a simple case I am narrating only. One might have observed the pet animals also feel lonely when we do not attend to their need/calls and their behavior gets changed totally differently. We had two pet dogs one Pomeranian and the other an Alsatian. They were able to understand our feeling very well. When my only sister got married the Pomeranian one which was much closer to her did not take food for one week. It felt lonely after my sister went to her in-law’s house. We took the doggy to her in-law’s house and then again it became happy. They are animals and if they can feel loneliness in the case of human beings it is very much.
We can not take the challenge that depression will not affect anybody at any time. No, we all at some juncture of life fell trapped in depression. We are human being who can feel well, and understand well but when our want does not get fulfilled as we have planned, our mental balance gets disturbed severely. At that time we want to stay away from others and get isolated within us. Some people take the failure on a lighter side. So their life gets adjusted once again very quickly. Some people are very strong in mind, so their minds can accept failure in a light way and their lives proceed further.
But all people are not that strong in mind or are not capable of handling negative situations easily. There are many cases in this world where many established people have suffered from depression. There are famous writers, celebrities, politicians, and businessmen who have lost their lives by committing suicide due to acute depression. It is not that they were weaker in mind or heart. But when they were unable to come out from depression, in the end, they took away their own life through suicide. The most dangerous part of depression is that it makes the depressed people lonelier. When they cannot find any friends/companions to share their feelings/pain properly, their interest in life gradually diminishes. As a result, they want to finish their life so that they can get rid of their pain.
I have also come across depression in my life. Basically, I like to be alone. But perhaps god has given me enough strength to overcome depression.
Now, actually, when any person is depressed he should share his/her pain with his/her close ones. But they find it difficult to share as they do not have faith in others. Also, social stigma arises when depressed people seek help for mental health. The most tragic part is that they commit suicide all of a sudden and we lose our lives abruptly. So depression is a very serious issue. Any person who is depressed should share his pain/difficulty with any person whom he/she believes. Also, we who are with our surroundings should help them to come out from the trap of depression with the utmost care, love, understanding, and affection. One thing all of us should keep in mind that depression can happen to anybody at any juncture of life. So if we come across any depressed person from our surroundings, let’s help them to come out of depression and lead them a normal life.
