DEPRESSION

Everyone goes through depression. 
No one is spared.  No one.

It's nothing to be shy or ashamed of. 
Like any other sickness depression can be treated effectively with proper attention, therapy and medication. 
Early detection is important. 
Experts tell us within two weeks, treatment should begin otherwise the problem may escalate.  

Taken in a positive light depression is the body's way of telling us to slow down, take a rest, take stock and re-prioritize.  Change our thought pattern, realign our feelings and check our behavior.

Being mentally/emotionally disturbed is disruptive in many ways and causes several other parties immense suffering as well.

When  the patient recovers from his depression he will do well to take his experience as a valuable lesson and learn the signs and symptoms of his 'suffering' and to take the necessary steps towards prevention.
There is every probability of  relapse taking into account the complexities of modern living!

Unlike in the old days, one need not suffer alone and in silence. 
If you know someone (or even yourself) who might be facing seemingly insurmountable challenges in his life (and feels his world falling apart) and unable to cope mentally, please speak to someone in confidence and ask for help. 

Know that there are people - family, friends, colleagues, professionals- who really love, empathize and care for your (friend's) well-being.
To be able to help another person regain his equilibrium so that he can once again function normally and be happy must be the most satisfying task ever ...
