DEPRESSION - What is depression? How to deal with it? COVID & Mental Health.

Depression, this small word with no lines can submerge anyone's life. Today people are happy in the snap and struggling while they try to take a nap. Smiling faces outside, no inner peace inside. Self-assured with skin out, self-doubt running in the veins in. They are in the crowd but still all alone. Happiness is nothing more than a fake emotion all the way long. A rare psychological fact I read the other day was, When you actually start crying for a cause, your mind starts giving you a glimpse of the bad that had happened to you so you can cry more and burst all the emotions out. Ever experienced crying makes your heart feel light. 

I felt it really hard when DOROTHY ROWE said once, “ DEPRESSION IS A PRISON WHERE YOU ARE BOTH, THE SUFFERING PRISONER AND THE CRUEL JAILOR ”

WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

It's really easy to make you guys understand what depression is. Rather, you can approach it better than me. But science calls out DEPRESSION as a mental disorder which results in reduction of biological functioning of an organism. But as far as i am concerned i think Depression is yet another synonym of ADOLESCENCE. No, it's not the fact that it's just a disorder of the early 20’s or late 30’s. It can make anyone into a dead soul and living body but the majority is ruled by the younger generation. Early 20’s is the age where we realise the reality of life, face struggle in career, peer pressure drive emotions, family pressure is just a common thing, love which is hard to find and many more. These emotions all together drive as in Darkness, Anxiety, Stress & Depression. 

COVID was nothing more than Icing On The Cake to this, as studies show that before COVID 26% of people suffer from depression, out of this 26% majority was ruled by students. The hike in the graph by 46% shows a decrease in mental health and a need for an increase in awareness among people. 

HOW TO DEAL WITH DEPRESSION?

Out of 1391.99 Million people in India, 267 Million are tobacco consumers, 62.5 Million people consume alcohol, 11 Million consume other drugs. Failure in career , rejection in job interview, denial by lover, another attempt in JEE, NEET or UPSC whatever but these are not the options. They may relieve your long term pain for a short period of time. But this short term happiness not only damages the health of your body but also kills your brain, by reducing thinking power and reaction to any sudden action. 10.5% is the suicide rate of India alone where world has suicidal rate 11.6%, these figure derive our brain crazy. So, now the important question arises here how to deal with it, here are few ways which will help you to live a more well functioned life -

1. Before actually start working over it, analyse on your part which stage you are at, it's not a joke if required consult a doctor ASAP.
2. Depression is like a pit with no end, try to find positivity in yourself, if you are unable to search for it from outer sources, which i usually avoid but if it works for you, just go for it without a second thought.
3. Avoid people with a negative mindset as much as you can, they are just increasing your level of anxiety and nothing else.
4. Music is a great servant and a bad master. Music with high emotions can hike your energy but a low music can even increase your depression, choose wisely. I know heart will shout for ARIJIT SINGH but you need to heal yourself not hurt yourself. 
5. Develop self-love and self confidence, they work like assembling a massacre of your feelings.
6. Become more workaholic and do the work you love because interest and desire are always above anxiety.
7. Learn to accept the things, prepare yourself always for the changes that are gonna happen in your life, always remember nothing is permanent. 
8. Be mentally ready and repeat always that you are stronger than everything, whatever be your suffering, it doesn't matter if the thing or person right in front of you is hilarious or villain or not but YOU ARE PROTAGONIST of your life. 

COVID & MENTAL HEALTH

I know the situation is really harassing everyone, Socially, Emotionally, Mentally. Ever heard LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE, way better than Pfizer, Sputnik, Covishield even Covaxin. No please, I am not promoting campaigns against getting vaccinated, do get vaccinated whenever your chance comes without trusting rumours. Yes, but I am saying just try to attain mental peace, smile and be happy because the best part of time is, It passes away, either good or bad but it will pass away surely. Believe in GOD, Trust the NATURE and have Faith in UNIVERSE. Everything will be alright just trust the process. Its Easy Said Than Done, some may utter but sadness cant heal the current situation so better be Happy for whatever next right to you.

I know my beloved readers, time is not by our side, but it's just another fall after rise, not the stable equilibrium.What do you think about music? Let me know in the comment section also add up your favourite song it will boost my fresh new playlist. Stay Happy, Stay Safe.
