Feeling of being alone in a state of depression. Sometimes I feel like crying even if I become a little emotional. If the situation worsens, the thought of committing suicide starts coming to mind.
What do the figures say?
According to the WHO, currently, 26 million 20 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Every year around 8 lakh people die due to depression. Worldwide, suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 29 years. Depression is the main reason behind these suicide cases.
In 2012, WHO The Mental Health States of Adolescents in South-East Asia: Avid for Action Report stated that one in four adolescents in India were depressed. WHO According to the 2017 report, 5 crores 70 lakh people in India suffer from depression.
Cause of depression:
Physical and mental abuse in childhood such as sexual abuse repeated transfers from one place to another, negative events such as death of a close relative, educational failure, bitterness in domestic or close relationships, in school and family Harassment and stress are the main causes of depression.
All parents and guardians want the best for their children. But too much parentage, critical and slanderous parents or teaching style in childhood can lead to negative feelings about oneself in the child. This can cause depression.
Another major cause of depression is addiction. Once intoxicating, it becomes difficult to get rid of it. This causes the person to be surrounded by financial, physical and mental troubles. In a short span of time, this tension turns into a continuous depression.

Depression is more common in adolescents and young adults. This is because physical and mental changes occur more at this stage. Also, the attitude of youth to see and understand the world changes rapidly.

Treatment of Depression
Remember that depression is not a la-curable disease. It can be easily corrected in the proper care of mind and body and in a positive social environment.
Generally, treatment of depression is a very easy and very inexpensive process in which an experienced neurologist or psychologist talks to the person for a few minutes and collects information related to the person and his depression, and treats the person by suggesting some medicines and some exercises. Depending on the intensity/amount of depression, a person starts feeling normal within a few days or weeks and his daily process becomes normal.
Treatment with yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques
Depression is also a biochemical process in the brain and body. The Art of Living has taught yoga, meditation, and breathing activities such as Sudarshan Kriya. These actions help to release neurochemicals and hormones that can reduce depression.
Deep breathing, limb stretching exercises, and resting help with endorphins, serotonin, and G.A.B.A. Such as neurochemicals are free which make a person feel happy and satisfied. It also brings good sleep, which makes the person feel relaxed.
Activities such as yoga, meditation, and breathing, and Sudarshan Kriya are very effective in the treatment of depression and have no negative side effects.
Family / Guardian's contribution in the treatment of depression
A parent or close relative may encourage their child or family member to talk about their feelings in an open and cordial environment. They can talk to him about the problems he is struggling with and cannot assure him that he is capable of facing those challenges and they are also standing with him.
In any case, the guardian should set a time every day to talk face to face with his children without any hesitation. Prolonging their mental health and encouraging them proves to be helpful.
Do not talk to a depressed person or child just to bring them out of depression. He just has to get used to expressing and sharing his feelings without hesitation. He has to assure that his words will be heard and understood without preaching.
Parents know their child's friends and become friends of theirs. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar often gives this advice to parents who want to change their child's behavior. He says that if we want to impress our child and change some of his behavior, we have to know his friends and influence them too.
Interruptions in the treatment of Depression
Most of the world's population condones depression. This is mainly because it is very common in underdeveloped and poor countries.
Depression is considered a matter of inhibition and prestige, so even people shy away from talking about it.
In many cases, the person suffering from depression does not know that he is suffering from depression, hence even its treatment is not possible.
In a multilateral international study on adults, 20–37 percent of depression victims in India did not seek medical help for one reason or the other.
In the end, we suggest that humans hide their problems and if they think they will tell others, then do not make fun of them. This attitude aggravates the human problem more than it reduces it. If you are feeling very stressed, then go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you are thinking that what others think about you then you are making the biggest mistake, whatever others are thinking about you, you cannot change their mind. Yes, if you don't care what others think and do good for all, the thinking of others about you, will automatically be changed. It's rightly said,
"आप चाहकर भी अपने प्रति लोगों की धारणा को नहीं बदल सकते, इसलिए सुकून से अपनी ज़िन्दगी जिए और खुश रहे."
In the era of Information Technology,
everybody uses social media, the internet, and artificial relationships to realize
temporary happiness. Even he realizes the stress without making any efforts.
Stress comes from the environment due to some reasons beyond the control of an
individual. To get rid of stress and for the realization of happiness; most people try to do meditation, perform humanitarian deeds, and look for spiritual congregations around the world. But real happiness if somebody
desires; can easily be realized from very small efforts. If you are fully
committed to fulfill all your social obligations and try your best then
definitely you are very near to God and you can easily realize the grace of God
without making many efforts.
Happiness can also be realized by helping the needy and treating nice people in an honorable manner with gentle behavior.
Happiness can also be realized by helping the needy and treating nice people in an honorable manner with gentle behavior.
One should adopt the following
principle in life:
Love Without Self Interest
ज़िंदगी जीने का मकसद ख़ास होना चाहिए, और अपने आप में हमेशा विश्वास होना चाहिए,
जीवन में खुशियों की कमी नहीं है दोस्तो, बस खुशियों को मनाने का अंदाज़ होना चाहिए।
अंत में एक चुटकला (Joke)
In a college, the students of MBBS were attending their 1st Biochemistry Class. They all gathered around the Lab table with a Urine sample. The Professor dipped His Finger in the urine & tasted it in his own mouth.
Then he asked the students to do the same. The students hesitated for several minutes, but at last, everyone dipped their finger in the urine sample & tasted it...
When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them & said: The most important Quality is 'Observation'. I dipped my MIDDLE Finger but tasted the INDEX Finger. Today you just Learn, "How to Pay Attention". All Students were surprised 😯😂😂😂
