How to Dispense Depression
“Life is not ended yet till you breathe”
Nowadays, people are suffering depression more often than before. It may cause serious harm if you are not aware of how to control depression. Consequently, many incidents of suicide are happening because of the so-called “Depression.” However, people define depression according to their experiences and the circumstances they go through in their lives. In fact, it is the state of mind in which a person feels that every door has shut and can do nothing except dive into the sea of death. But a small ray of hope can bring a depressed one out of the darkness. Some people fight against depression, but they do not keep it on for so long and become abnormal in society.
- In the USA, 30,000 self-murder cases are happening every year just because of depression since 1999, and the numbers are increasing day after day.
- According to the American Society on Aging, 1998, the self-destruction rate for adults is more than half the rate for the whole. Up to seventy percent of older adult self-killings are characterized by undetected or mismanaged depression.
There could be Multiple Causes of Depression
Internal Factors:
- Biological factors: Sometimes, certain biological changes may cause depression. Hormonal shifts and changes in the chemistry of brain neurons can also result in stress and anxiety. Thyroid, persistent pain, and neurological diseases can also raise the risk of mental disorders.
- Hereditary: Depression may transfer into decedents genetically, and genetic factors can majorly cause it.
- Pessimism: It is the most fatal cause of depression. Some people become impotent mentally even though they think there is no other way and all the hopes of betterment have gone. That’s why it is always said to be optimistic for better tomorrow.
External Factors:
- Natural factors: Unpleasant events like accidents, earthquakes, sudden diseases in children, and the loss and death of a loved one may lead a person towards stress, depression, and anxiety. Sometimes, these situations are inevitable, and there is no alternative to the loss.
- Unemployment: Being jobless and facing a financial crisis is the most common cause of depression in developing countries. People often feel hopeless, unworthy, and helpless. These conditions take a man to the depths of darkness.
- Economic and Political Instability: A politically stable country competes with other countries in the world. People in a shrinking economy feel depressed, and the threat of insolence and the insecure future of their children force them to go into depression.
It is important to remember that depression may be brought on by a number of different things and is frequently the consequence of a confluence of circumstances rather than a single issue. In addition, the symptoms of depression can vary greatly from person to person, and certain things that may bring depression in one person could have no effect on another.

Last but not least, the best way to control depression is to find an alternative way of love, friendships, relationships, business, career path, educational goal, food plan, gatherings, exercise, yoga, physician, mentor etc. This will help you release stress and anxiety because sometimes a change brings better opportunities than sticking to unachievable targets and objectives.
