Depression is an emotional feeling or a state of mind that reduces your enjoyment of life and causes an inability to function properly. Most people suffer from depression especially the younger generation. This also is a major cause of suicide. Depression could happen to anyone irrespective of who you are. Most blacks are adaptive to their surrounding hence are able to live above this dysfunction. Take Nigeria as a case study, no matter how bad the economy system may be labeled as, it's citizens still survive. Have you ever wondered why so? It's the nature where each individual was born to and they adapt to it. A lot of things can cause depression which I'll be talking about a few:

The economic condition of a country can be a major cause of depression. Now let me explain... A lot of young individuals have so much aspirations and would want to meet up with them. When the economic condition of a Nation is bad, it could lead to depression in the sense that not so many people see crime as an option. They are therefore left with menial jobs which would solve little or non of their needs.

Another cause of depression is the fear of the unknown. One thing ravaging the society today is fear. Most people are scared of what could happen any moment. Fear is also an emotion that when it gets fed, would grow and swallow up an individual. One thing or the other could be a cause of fear.

Another cause of depression is discontentment. This is majorly found amongst the youths. The desire to get rich quickly has caused so much trouble to the emotional stability of the youth in general.

Conclusively, anyone too can live about depression and one way is to maintain a healthy emotion. This is done by staying positive and joyful at all time. It's helps the heart pump blood faster and better.

Enjoy every little thing you have and make the best use of what you have.
