Signs, Symptoms, Causes and help!

Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life. But when sadness takes hold and won’t go away, it may be depression.

What is Depression?

It’s impossible to escape life’s ups and downs. Feeling unhappy

or sad

in response to disappointment, loss, frustration

or a medical condition is normal. Many people use the word depression to explain these kind of feelings, but that is really situational depression, which is normal reaction to events around us.

As wikipedia explains:

In the fields of psychology and psychiatry, the terms depression or depressed refer to sadness and other related emotions and behaviors. It can be thought of as either a disease or a syndrome.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) states that a depressed mood is often reported as feeling sad, helpless, and hopeless. In traditional colloquy, "depressed" is often synonymous with "sad," but both clinical depression and non-clinical depression can also refer to a conglomeration of more than one feeling.

How to deal with it!

Making healthy lifestyle changes can cure depression easily as they make big impact on one’s mind. Take a good look at your own lifestyle. Cultivate supportive relationship with your friends and family.

Get regular exercise and enough sleep;

eat a healthy, mood boosting diet. Mange your stress and practice relaxation techniques.

But when you are depressed,you dont feel doing anything other than thinking about the thing which depresses you,isnt it?

C.Ronaldo

it is Kimi but if you don't try something new or indulge in some activity which will turn your mind from that thing, you will remain depressed! Try to indulge in such activities and stop thinking about the bad thing which happened and you will feel better!

Kimi it is really! its many times more difficult to follow

Agnel

It is NOT difficult to follow. Come on guys, how long will we give excuses by saying it is difficult?

Don't say difficult, just do it

I also think I may have depression,and I did some researching on it,and it sounds like you probably do have depression.you CAN'T "snap out of it",cuz u cannot control it,it is a chemical inbalance in the brain. You should go to your dr.to get a depression test thing.there is medicine for depression. I think I also may have depression as well,so I know how u feel,even tho I don't have all of the symptoms you described.
Hope you feel better!depression really sucks

Agnel

Depression is just another sickness like fever or cold. One can get out of it

Trust me!

C.Ronaldo

But its really very much hard to get out
