In our contemporary Society, depression can happen to anyone no matter their class or backgrounds. Somehow it is becoming a common thing for people to fall depressed because of the gravity of issues they are surrounded with. Depression is regarded as a medical condition that consists of a mental health disorder. In this view, the person or individual is faced with different emotional drops or feelings of sadness, hopelessness. They seem to give up on hope and have no pleasure at all. This is known to affect the general wellbeing of a person from family, career, education, personality, characteristics and so on.
In my country Nigeria, the economic situation of things in the country is enough for people to give in to depression. It has become so bad that most victims of depression are the youths who are supposed to be vibrant and energetic but the issues of unemployment, economic downturn,financial issues, violent, conflict and all can bring about a mental breakdown in a person. Take for instance, a person goes through the struggle of studying so hard and getting a good grade and degree in the university. With the hope that one he or she is through they would get a good job and support themselves and the family. But reverse us the case when after 8yearems of graduating, one cannot find a decent job to cater for finances.
These issues that affect a person to think that they are useless and cannot achieve anything good with their lives. Suicidal thoughts begin to develop and take control of the person's thoughts which in turn zaps the person's energy and mood until they actualize it. This is why we see people engage in different suicide missions like hanging themselves to the roof, jumping into the lake or river, cutting their wrist, poison and so on. The feeling of hopelessness is so bad that once a person conceives this thought it's take a lot of professional care and familial love to recover.
People are going through a lot in our society, it is paramount that we show love and care the best way that we can. A lot can lead to depression that even the words we utter from our mouths can entirely ruin a person's life. The other day we heard that a young boy had committed suicide because he was not living up to the lifestyle his peers were living. Apparently, he was influenced, engaged in taking hard drugs, could not handle it and felt he was a waste of time and space.
If we can help people in depression we should or advice them to seek medical medical. No one is stable but people are striving to keep fit and healthy and not be weighed down by happenings around us.
