COMBATTING DEPRESSION WITH FAMILY’S HELP


Feeling sad is normal. We all feel sad from time to time. The reasons for this sadness may vary. Death or loss of a close one, break up, failure, fight, are some of the instances that make us sad as humans. But eventually, we learn to accept the facts of what has happened, and we move on. Gradually, you feel better and you start living normally again. But what if, this sadness never goes away? What if, you keep feeling sad, and not knowing what is making you sad makes it worse? If these are some of the things that you feel, or know someone who feels this way, then it might be a sign of depression.

Depression can happen to anybody. It could engulf the happiest of souls, richest and successful people. It is important to remember that depression is not a phase as some people who are totally unaware of this condition claim it to be. It is a mental condition, an illness just as common as a cold and it can be treated. However, depression could be a lot more threatening that a general cold or cough. If not treated on time, a person facing depression or someone who needs depression help may fall into this pit more and more and never come back. Pointing out a depression prone person is very difficult. An individual may look very happy and chirpy outside but might be breaking from the inside and nobody would have a clue.

A family therapist in Mumbai suggests that other than proper medication, family support is also very important to a person who is healing from this condition. They need this sense of comfort and belonging. They need to know that if they fall, there are people to hold them and give them all the love and comfort they need. That, if they need to talk to someone, they are there to hear out.

But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it. But sometimes, due to some reasons, we may not be able to cope up with those problems. Nothing we do seems to work out or seems to ease the situation. This in turn leads to a lot of mental stress for an individual. There are many instances when one might seek help from people close to them. But if even that doesn’t seem to help, then maybe seeing a counselling psychologist might. In today’s world that moves forwar...
