Depression

*264-300 million suffers depression.

*284-300 suffer anxiety

This is the condition of the world. These are not the figures with countable zeroes. These are the number of mental sufferers increasing per day with the course of time.

It is truly said that “depression is not a choice but it is a kind of brain damage.”A damage in which a person has mental injury .An injury, whose scars cannot be shown to the world on forefront. It is a serious note of concern that the mental injuries do not question a person’s  physical strength but it do question a person’s fight with his conscience. It is a shift from “how it will work” to “why it is  happening”.

One cannot give a  only justified reason for getting depressed. Depression is the after effects of many consecutive failures and breakdowns. Depression occurs when the person could not stop something from happening or he could not do something  because it is out of his hands. Demise of the loved one, emotional breakdown, loss of job, etc can be one of them but the causes of the depression has a long list under it. In the tanned pages of literature, this condition is described as the “the grey drizzle of horror” by author William Styron. These days can be described as the most horrible part of someone’s life. Even the journey after death is considered more dignified in the society than to be under the depression. Society has the trend to refer every person a mad or a mad hatter if he undergoes any mental illness. Every  mentally tortured person is not an insane. Even these few words also cannot define this condition of mind.

These quoted words of a depressed person can share you at least .1 percent of his pain-

“Do you think I like to watch myself fall?

In this world of self-hate, shame and loathe.

So I hide them and put up a wall,

That is so high and you will never see my pain and my flaws.”

Depression is caused by a amalgamation of genetic, biological, psychological, social disorders etc. It is synonymous to the termites. The society will suggest you to meditate and medicate but it will just void your existence. According to WHO, mental stroke is more dangerous than the physical incapacity. Physical injuries can be cured but mental injuries just riddle a person with his existence. He start questioning his existence. He starts felling that the world is full of negativity. He becomes so consistent with his negative thoughts that he finds every positive aspect of his life an imagination. The one thinks negatively  not because he want to but he is prone to do that. His mind constantly  revolves  around an external factor that did not worked in his life. He loses his hope and thinks that this was the end of his struggling part and take shelter under his painful thoughts. This creates a suction element in one’s life. If not cured then a depressed person just sink into these swamps of negativity and attempts to quit his life. They think that they were not good enough to accomplish their better conditions.

There is not a single human being who does not have an encounter with bad times. The difference between an UN depressed and depressed person is that his thoughts in his bad times. His way of thinking is the ultimate key to the fulfillment of task. Elkhart Tole said that –“the primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.” Both the categories suffer the setbacks but have two ways in the end. Either one can fight and be the history or one can take the pain and become lost in the chapters of history. Its completely your choice that you  get elevated or depressed. Remember the best views comes from the peak not from the depression. Your thoughts become your guide and that guide tells you how to spend your rest of the life.

Stop being trapped in the icy cold hands of emotions and the dis heartening thoughts. Get the new way out to face the challenge. Believe, if a problem is there in front of you then it means it is meant for you. The Almighty has chosen you to find the solution of that problem. Stare in the eyes of the problem, fight with it and come out with victories. Ditch the challenges and try to be you. Spend sometime in a day with yourself to work upon you. Find the WHY factor in everything you do. It will lighten up the spark in you. Your life will still not be perfect but I will be. Life is too short to be get depressed and spend the bulk of days without any productivity. Shut the world up and do whatever gives you pleasure. Do the tasks that gives you the reason to be counted among those who are living their life. Do not live to just spend the rest of the days, live to spark out all the positivist from yourself. Remember if there is no  enemy within then the enemy outside can do us no harm.
