Depression is Over-rated

Depression isn’t an illness. It’s an excuse for being cynical and miserable. I just find it kind of melodramatic how passive people are when throwing around the term depression. Most people who say they have it, really don’t! rather they just say they do because they’re going through a series of rough patches in life and would rather have a short term solution to a series of long term problems by labeling it as ‘Depression’.

Depression is Over-rated

How about the thought that  maybe you are not just living hard enough and this depression you feel is an excuse for a prolonged sense of boredom and lack of motivation you get when things aren’t going your way? Fact is, if you’ve got a roof over your head, food on your plate and some basic human contact with friends and family, there’s no reason to label something as normal as feeling depressed as a severe medical condition.
 
Depression here can be explained as a self-inflicted disease. Bad company, bad environment and bad surroundings are the pathogen causing the malady. Therefore it is always advised to approach asocial surrounding which is based on principles of ethics and methodology of keeping a good relationship. Once the disease spreads, it rampantly provokes the proper functioning of the life until not treated.
 It is another form of disturbance- this syndrome is caused by the company we keep. A company that is usually well known as the group of friends, relatives and colleagues. It is the interaction with these people which creates a phenomenon called as distress. The influence of company, their attitudes and way of spending the day causes the other to be habitual of it.

Why are people disturbed? The question has a deep and wide form of elaborate explanation. There can be different reasons for this condition; a behavior that is commonly prevalent among the society. The remedy can be easily postulated and practiced if the cause of a condition is known for the benefit of people. We have to realize a verity, if we want benefits then others should be gaining successfully without any disorder. There are people who are physically or  psychologically disturbed but here I am discussing about those who are normal and healthy.

Okay, so I may understand the romantic side of depression. The idea that you are direct  your own destiny and can end your life at any given time, admittedly seems a lot more cool and fit for closure to a person desperately trying to find meaning in their lives. But let’s face it, we’re not Kurt Cobain, nobody is and the best reaction any of us would ever receive through suicide is gossip fuel for a few shocked acquaintances and needless stress to our friends and family.

Here, sociologists suggest being optimistic which can refresh people’s minds and they might understand much better than what is being told. A constant supply of positive attitude has to be given to activate and refresh depressed souls. So the next time you feel depressed, Remember that when you are in a depth of a difficulty, you can bare it and you can face it!
