Depression Kills But It Have Its Prevention

I wrote this article because nowadays, this pandemic has caused a lot of anxieties and depressions to everyone. Not only because of the pandemic but also because of what is really happening in the family, relatives, friends, partners etc..We do not know what others feel or think. Everyone can be misleading. We might think a person is very okay because of how he /she looks or how he laughs but deep inside is a depressed personality full of sadness and negstive thoughts that might burst out anytime. This is a very serious issue yet treatable as well. ***Getting To Know Depression*** **Depression** is a mood disorder that is caused by severe loss of interest or hope. It affects our mental health. It is a serious condition because it affects us memtally, physically and emotionally. It can happen to all. Even younger generations suffers depression. You can see a person smiling or laughing out loud but deep inside is a crying heart. A person trying to cover all his emotions and problems and trying to solve it by himself. Its hard to distinguished a person suffering from it. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/symptoms-causes/syc-20356007

I thought at first, this looks easy to treat. You are depressed meaning you are sad, just laugh and smile then its gone. But I'm wrong. It depends on the person suffering from depression. Feeling sad or having a depressed mood. *****Symptoms or Common Signs of Depression***** **No appetite or too much appetite.** You may see a person eating a lot thinking he/she is just ok and just loved the food or the other way around, no appetite at all because he/she has problems not knowing a person is depressed already. **You cannot concentrate at certain things.** You are easily distracted with things around you because you cannot focus at a certain thing. At work, you cannot finish a task because you are distracted by what others are doing. There are things bothering you. **The loss of interest in the usual hobbies or activities.** You may love playing basketball a lot or you enjoy playing computer games before and suddenly, you stopped all of it.

**Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much.** Since you loss your interest to your usual hobbies, all you did is to sleep a lot. For some, due to overthinking, they have difficulty in sleeping **Suicidal Tendencies.** This is the major symptoms of depression. You have plans of ending your life. There are different ways of suicidal. We don't know when and where it can occur because we never know if a person is depressed until those people share it with us.

*****A True Story***** The reason why I wrote this article is because of a young boy who passed away due to depression. He committed suicide. At a very young age, he ended his life without any clear reason why he did it. The boy is the nephew of my brother-in-law. It happened last Monday when my sister received a message from his husbands relatives that the boy hung up in his room. That was the only message that they received. So my sister texted and called the boys sister and other relatives to know exactly what happened. So they just waited and after an hour, they knew that the boy passed away. It was confirmed that he was dead 3 hours upon sending to the hospital. My brother-in-law and the father of the boy are brothers and the mother of the boy is working in Malaysia as OFW so she has no idea what happened but later on she was also informed so that she can schedule to go back to the Philippines. My sisters husband who is my brother-in-law went home from work already after finding out what happened. But due to bad weather that day, they just went the next day. My sisters family stayed there to guide my brother-in-laws family there. My sister said that the boy has a lot of friends. He used to stay here in my sister's house when he was small so he has also friends here. There were many people who visited his wake. Friends from different places that the family never expected how may people loved the boy. Many people still can't believe that at his early age, he ended his life because of depression. When my sister and her daughter went home the other day, my sister told us what happened. It was around 2am and the young boy was drunk and he went to his cousins house which was just near them but his auntie said that it was too late. They can just talk in the morning so he tried to his other cousins house and that was the same answer of his mothers cousin. Without them knowing, that was the last time they will see the young boy. Since he has no one to talk to, he just went home and go to his room at the 2nd floor which was partially renovated. Before, it was only 1 floor and their mother was able to save money to build a 2nd floor. Instead of buying new.property, they just renovated it. Since he has no one to talk to, he just went inside his room and it all happened. No one inside the house knew what he was going through that night. When his father went to his room to check him late afternoon, the door was locked. It was normal for the young boy to woke up late. Being worried, he used the camera of his phone to check if he was there since there was a hole outside the room. When he looked down, no one was in the bed but when he adjusted the camera, there he saw his son hanging. So he tried to kicked the door and carried the boy to the hospital. He was dead 3 hrs ago upon arrival to the hospital.

When I heard the whole story, I felt the pain for the whole family. The more I felt for the young boy. He shoukd be enjoying more and achieve his dreams, have his own family and explore more. But who are we to judge? We cannot judge the person because we don't know how he feels when he was alive. His family is just around but maybe he was shy to talk to his family about his problems. No one also would expect that he will do it. Some says that he has problems with his family. His parents are not in good terms. They said that the boy wants his parents to reconcile. While his mother is in abroad, his father is living with them but when his mother went home, his father would leave for a while. It can also be because of his problems with his lovelife. He has posted sad messages about love Facebook. At a very young age, he seemed to have those problems that he keeps to himself or to his friends which maybe not taken seriuosly by his family. He was a talented boy. He was good in rap. He has videos with his friends where they sung maybe about their struggles in life or others lives. It was just so sad that he can no longer continue it.

Everyone has struggles in life We all faced problems. You are not normal if you live with no problems. This story proves that depression can kill even at an early age. *****The Treatment***** Depression can be treated. I know that its not that easy to say that we can treat it in on our own. There are different types of deprrssion. There are different levels of deprrssion. But if we think that we are carrying too much sadness in life or we feel heavily with our problems in life, we can simply talk to our parents, or to our closest sister or brother or friends. Talk to the person whom we feel very safe to open up to.

If we don't want to talk to them, seek for a professional help. Talk to a psychiatrist. They are the experts. Depression can be easily treated if we help ourself first. Exercise is also a must. It can help our mind and body get back in good condition. *****My Final Say***** I read that grief is different from depression. At the time I was in grief from my mothers loss, I felt I was in depression but it was just nornal to cry because I'm missing someone. But up to now, I still cry, there are times that I am sad and I felt tired but because I've done chores at homes. I think I am not depressed. I was just tired but I still fight. Whenever I felt I am carrying heavily in my heart, I talk to a friend or a person I rely on. It releases those heavy emotions in my heart and in my mind. It really works when talking to a friend or family member whenever you have problems in life especially when you pray and talk to God. Nothing is impossible in HIM.
