Depression

We, in day to day life, witness a lot of people who are in depression which is expressed and communed verbally or non-verbally or with facial expression only. Depression might be fleeting pang feeling or long lasting strong feeling. Fundamentally and literally depression is something which lasts for longer time as shorter version of depression can be better called as sadness/sorrowfulness/ extreme of unhappiness/ higher degree of disparity/lack of hopefulness/disappointment/ frustration. Depression can be combination of aforementioned phenomenon or combination of few of those elements,

Depression is something that no one wants to experience and undergo frequently. But saying here that one can’t go through depression be it short or long run is illogical and unrealistic as everyone goes through that at some point of their life / at different stage of life. Every one is susceptible and vulnerable to this.

More importantly one has to bear in mind that without feeling sad now and then though nobody prefers to undergo. One can’t test the resilience and strongness of one’s personality and improve/work on becoming better person in the life. As it teaches the lessons of what is lacking in one and which is the area that is sensitive in one’s character. It is testing time of a person whether he/she can withstand and face the challenge. But there are situations which can’t be controlled and is out of out controlling ability.

Mysterious Question is why does one get sad or depressed? Though it is difficult to bracket everybody together in one category .Hence each has their own way of feeling depressed having possessed their strength and weakness in various areas of total personality. They will feel depressed and sad. As everyone hopes to achieve and acquire something and when someone fails to get what is expected from the situation/act/activity/event/someone or more ever when his/her ego will get dented by unexpected and unpleasant happenings.

What are the depressant that makes man to feel to have been depressed? Depressing factors have different kinds of impact on one. Something which depresses one can’t be potential enough to depress other one. So one which makes a person sad might not be necessarily a depressant to other person. But one who undergoes the period of depression can come back with strong person if he/she thinks it in right angle.

What are the typical characteristics of depressed person? The person who is depressed typically will be in pensive, hopeless mood. He looks at his/her life mostly from negative angle only. As he has not hopes and expectations from that act whether he/she can succeed in that .He/she tries to withdraw /distance/isolate himself /herself always. He/She will not be in position to perform any silly activity to him. For him/her world seems to have been lonely, cynical and selfish. One becomes as incompetent and diffident as ignorant child.

What is mentality of repeatedly depressed person? It is here significant to glimpse at this person as he/she has experienced this extreme several times in the past. It is highly plausible for this person to internalize the mindset of feeling depressed in the mind assuming that I am very sensitive and can’t overcome this forever. In the regard, It is recommended for him/her to pass through counseling sessions as it changes the enter perspective of looking at things of this person. He/she has to realize that it is not exactly the fault of this person, though; the person is trying to get over it. Positively speaking, situations can be against this person by being challenged by repetitive obstacles and stumbling blocks. It dents the confidence of this person.

How can we overcome that? The better way of dealing with depression is introspecting and realizing oneself that depression can be short-lasting if he wants to subdue it by looking at it from positive angle and scanning the situation to know the things which are depressing as one scans the virus on the computer to get rid of it and accepting that they are depressed and out of their element which are against them at this moment.
Past is past that can’t be taken back .Only what one can do is taking the good things that happened to us and feeling proud of ourselves for having tried to master that. One has to try to live in the moment rather than fostering or dwelling on the unpleasant feelings that haunt often.

One has to determine oneself that he/she has to challenge against it and overcome that at the earliest.Untill and unless one resolves within oneself whatever way they adopt to surmount that can’t be successful in the process. Where there is will, there is a way. Everyday is different and new to one as world is changing radically day by day. There are many ways available to depressed person to deal with that. By adopting meditation techniques, sharing with confidents whom he/she can believe and trust. But keeping one thing in mind they should go about this. Without allowing others to sympathize with depressed person again and again .As mercy may make that feeling resurface again. Here comes the need of counselor if it is really sever and serious .Other way is involving oneself in some other activities that one is partial of .As it takes the attention of depressed man to most liked activity .In return it brings a smile on the face and distract the mind altogether. Going to pleasant and refreshing place just for change of environment is also advisable idea as it refreshes and brings the radical changes in one’s mind and takes the depressed feelings away from the person. But it is imperative and indispensable for one to engage themselves with other positive person by helping and talking about something good always.

Role of other persons around him/her? Having said that by not feeling sympathatical with somebody deeply as it makes their situation still worse until and unless they want to share something with the person for relieving and unburdening themselves. It is better to feel sorry for a minute and assist emotionally and mentally them to become stronger by counseling them in friendly way without raking past out over and over.
