Depression if not checked quickly can lead to permanent damage to one’s mind. Depression is therefore an emotional disorder which affects virtually every area of life of the person experiencing it.
From the above, it means that depression is treatable and
you should get treatment once noticed.
It affects how they
think, how they act, their feelings. In general, depression results from deep
sadness most often and then disapproval of activities of initial interest.
One of the signs to know if depression is crippling in is
when you have the feeling of worthlessness running through your mind at same
time you feel helpless and hopeless and don’t just know where to turn to or
start from.
It is easier to tell if an active person is undergoing
depression than someone who is not. Sudden mood swing could be a sign of
depression.
From world record, depression is on the increase with
millions after million cases recorded annually. In 2017 alone there are about 320
million people living with depression.
Signs of Depression
Anger is one of
the easily noticed sign of depression. When one gets angry at the slightest provocation
could point towards depression. Sudden Mood Swing could be a sign of depression. Another sign is Physical Pain which includes muscles, joints etc. some people also
give signs by their Behavioral Recklessness unconsciously, they just can’t settle down and concentrate on
anything. Isolation is another sign.
The moment you notice a family member, friend, your colleague at work or spouse
isolating themselves, you should note that depression in crippling in and they
need help urgently.
Overcoming depression is a gradual process and I don’t promise
it is going to be quick and easy. Depression makes one isolates himself. This is
not healthy in any form. It implants itself so much that you don’t want to step
outside and yet your energy, motivation and faith are always drained.
Many people have lost their jobs, relationships and
marriages to depression.
I will say congratulations because you have recognized the
fact that you are undergoing depression or you want to help someone out of it
and that is a good start. Note that getting out of depression is a gradual
process, day after day with some level of dedication, you will have victory
over this medical illness.
Your decision to come out of depression is a step and action
taken, but it is always hard, it is okay, be strong. Just the thought of
getting out of it could be hard too but look down into your inner being; you
will realize there is still some amount of strength in there that you could
use. Just a little is all that you need.
