Depression is a kind of illness, not a disease that can be treated well. Some people do not know they are in a depression but they feel those symptoms related to the former. Depression does not always have to come from the heartbreak of a girl boyfriend relationship thing, but maybe because someone has lost their job, close friends, family member, not able to handle that much of stardom or fame.
The cause of depression is still not completely understood but it is believed that some circumstances and situations in our environment act as a trigger in our subconscious mind.
Sadness and happiness is a part of human life, a normal reaction to worldly situations. On the other hand, depression is some kind of physical illness with many symptoms and effects.
There is a myth called that children cannot have depression as they have a very joyful, happy, carefree life. But that’s not true..! Childhood has its own kind of stresses and tensions like bullying in school, at playground and acceptance from their dear ones.
Depression does not mean that you are weak or insane. It is a real thing that scientists believe that is caused by an imbalance of certain kind of chemicals in our brain called neurotransmitters.
If you are suffering from depression, you do not need to continue that, there are several ways of treatment options you can opt for including medications, psychotherapy.

To be very frank in this article for the first time I am confronting that I am also a survivor of depression for straight 2 years. Yes, it’s true I didn’t take any psychiatrist help or something. My teachers used to ask me to go to the counsellers in college itself. But every time I refused to go and told them that I will be fine on my own. To be very honest initially I thought I am going mental, I need to book a room in a mental asylum or something but lately, I have realized it’s nothing like that. I do remember very clearly I used to feel nothing when I was facing depression, I used to be numb related to every damn single thing and person. I was not able to eat properly. I used to sleep a lot because I didn’t want to remember all those things which caused me depression. I felt hopeless, useless all at the same time. I used to cry a lot and sat in the dark room all alone. I handled myself very well though I still think that I have done those things too that sometimes I regret but I know I was not able to distinguish between right and wrong at that point of time. It’s true when I started coming out of this illness day by day, I have become strong, bold, beautiful than ever. I got to know who is truly mine and who is not worthy in my life.
I am not ashamed of this fact that I was in a depression, in fact, I am proud of myself for who I am today is because of that. People will shake you, break you, hate you, envy you but that’s up to you what you want for yourself.
Initially, I was afraid to write down on this topic but then I decided that maybe it is the right time to throw everything out that I have gone through and luckily this platform helped me in a way because seriously I am feeling really very better after writing this.
Let’s take a pledge here that we will help and support those people who are fighting from depression so that they can also say that * I have survived too*.!!
Do not forget that ever that you are a savage and you can do whatever you want to do. No one can stop you but you! Don’t give this illness that much power to take your life away.! You are more than that and just believe in yourself! ^_^
