From adolescence to adolescence, life changes a lot. School-college, friends, relationships, body, etc. change. So it is not at all uncommon to be emotional then. However, it should be known whether the speed-nature of the feeling can create a big problem. In this case, you can ask yourself the following questions:
1. Have you stopped any activity of your choice such as: sports, dance-song or work of any organization? There is nothing wrong with leaving one type of game and being attracted to another. But giving up such pleasurable activities or old habits is absolutely uncommon.
2. Doesn't it feel good to call friends to go somewhere together? Say ‘no’ in most cases?
3. Is the grade obtained in the examination gradually decreasing?
4. Almost regular quarrels with parents?
5. Being upset about things for no apparent reason?
6. Feels very tired, but does not sleep properly?
7. Want to eat more? Or, absolutely not hungry?
8. Feel guilty? Worried? Do you think that something is wrong with me?
9. I think it would be better to understand without me?
If the answer to any one or more of these questions is 'yes', then the problem is called depression. I mean, you need help now. So you have to identify what is happening and what to do. Talk to a parent, doctor, counselor, or trusted adult.
What is depression?
Depression is not just a matter of being upset. It is a mental breakdown. Some depressed people even cry in frustration. Others feel a kind of hatred for the world. However, it is difficult to diagnose whether you are suffering from depression or mild depression. From time to time everyone gets a little upset. But that can be different than depression. If you can get rid of the bad feeling in a week or two, you have to understand that it was not depression. But if someone behaves irritably, angrily, or depressed for weeks on end, it will be identified as a big problem.
Reason:
Being depressed does not mean that you are weak and defeated. Depression can be caused by a traumatic event. Some people can overcome depression. Overcoming crises such as the death of a loved one or the separation of parents can lead to chronic depression.
What to do
It's good to know that you're suffering from depression. Because, then you can move towards effective treatment. Graham Emsil, a psychiatrist working in Dallas, USA, says there is no reason to think that a person suffering from depression should be hospitalized.
Treatment:
Therapy: Determining what is missing from your life and how you can change the situation. Such as relieving work stress or restoring relationships with family and friends.
Lifestyle changes: Activities such as physical exercise, moderate nutrition and social support. Many studies have shown that physical therapy is quite effective in relieving depression.
Medications: Doctors sometimes recommend medications to change the chemistry of the brain. Many such drugs are used to treat depression.
Patients and physicians need to determine which treatment is effective. Therapy and lifestyle changes often work better than medicine.
Thoughts of suicide?
Many suffer from depression in adolescence and adulthood. However, thoughts like suicide do not work in everyone.
Remember:
1. Nothing can be done from which there is no chance to come back. Suicide is never a good thing.
2. Depression can make you think a lot. But that doesn’t mean you’re bad, stupid or finished. In fact, you need someone to help you because of the situation. Everyone in life falls into such a situation.
