Depression is one thing that has sent many to their early graves. Although, this would have been curbed because people don't reckon with those with depression.
Having said this, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about, “Why society needs to talk about depression more.”
To me, society and the people in it are the major problem why people.get depressed and this is because of the way they handle people's problems.
Society has contributed to sending people to their early graves through stigmatization. Also, some people have been misjudged for their deeds thereby causing them to be frustrated and fall into depression.
All these and many more are the causes of depression which have killed so many people who out of fear of being stigmatized have kept quiet so that no one would know anything about them.
However, what these people didn't know is that, it's better to be stigmatized than to die in secret. We have had so many people dying in silence just because of what people would say.
Well, it's not that easy for one to be stigmatized, but even at that, there are some things that needed to be said just to avoid falling into depression which would later lead to death.
So, society needs to talk more about depression so as to rescue some innocent souls who are only dying of what would have been resolved.
And to be candid to us all, the only way through which society can speak up about this is to stop passing unfair judgment about others and also, to stop stigmatizing others for their deeds.
Doing so, would help people to trust the system of the society thereby helping us to have a peaceful society and healthy people.
Thanks for reading.
