What is depression?

Stress is a type of mental illness. Due to any negative thought, it dominates our mind which has a bad effect on our mental state. Due to this our brain stops functioning properly. This condition is called depression. According to various doctors and scientists, it is a negative disease which affects our ability to think and work.

It replaces positive thinking in our brain and gives rise to negative thinking. As a result, we can waste our time and reduce our productivity and thinking ability, which can have a bad effect on our body! This is a type of disease related to our mind.

Sometimes in life there comes a moment in which we become sad and disappointed. We feel sad due to failure and struggle but this is normal. If we keep sitting with that sadness and this disappointment, frustration, helplessness etc. continues like this for a few months, then it can affect our mental health. This becomes stress or depression.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 20 crore people around the world are suffering from this disease. This problem is very big in India also. This is a very serious problem for our country.

It is a mental illness which generally occurs more in adolescence or in people between 30 and 40 years of age, but it is not entirely appropriate to say this. This is a disease that can happen to humans at any age. If we compare men and women, then the problem of this issue is more common in women, which can have many reasons like hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, genetic disorders etc. apart from mental factors.

Following are some special types of depression-

Reasons of depression

There is no single cause of stress because it cannot be said clearly as to what causes someone to become depressed. Some person may have this health issue due to anxiety while others may have some other reason for depression. Doctors and experts believe that there is no role for any reason behind depression. This can happen due to different reasons.

Unhealthy mood

An unhealthy mood is a mood due to which we do not experience happiness. This includes anxiety, apathy, emptiness, despair, nervousness etc. Due to all these, if we do not get happiness then we always remain sad and due to all these, our energy keeps getting lost.

Our mental level keeps getting affected. Due to unhealthy mood, we may face the problem of depression. Negative thoughts keep arising in our mind. We are unable to concentrate. Along with this, we keep experiencing disappointment again and again. Due to unhealthy mood, we get irritated easily. We call even good work bad.

We are forced to think good and bad. In such a situation, a person always remains in a state of helplessness. He is always surrounded by disappointment. He doesn’t like anyone around him. He starts liking loneliness. Even if someone explains a good thing to him, it starts pricking him like a thorn. He starts fighting on every issue. He always worries about his future and due to this the person is not able to enjoy the pleasant things happening in the present situation. All these things can give rise to this illness.

Lack of sleep

For a human being to remain mentally and physically healthy, it is most important to get enough sleep. An adult human being needs at least 7-8 hours of good sleep in 24 hours. If he is unable to complete his sleep then he will feel tired. Due to tiredness he will feel lazy in every work.

Due to all these reasons his entire body will remain heavy and he will not be able to feel fresh. Due to lack of sleep a person does not feel interested in any work. As a result he keeps postponing his work. Due to this, not only the work gets left behind but the person can also get severe depression. Due to lack of sleep, the brain becomes disturbed due to which negative thoughts come in the mind even without wanting. This can lead to the problem of this illness.

Cognitive

Cognitive i.e. reduced thinking ability. Due to this, the person’s concentration may decrease. He does everything slowly. He forgets every little thing and doesn’t remember anything. He keeps remembering some new and some old things. These are all things that can make a person a victim of depression.

Addiction

Addiction is a habit in which people stay away from reality. They do not have the power to accept reality. In a way, we can say that people suffering from addiction can be cowards. Any person who takes drugs loses the ability to face the ups and downs of life. Any person suffering from addiction becomes so far away from reality that if he faces even the slightest problem in real life, he immediately becomes a victim of depression. Addiction is a major cause of this issue.

Other reason-

1.) Stressful events

2.) Economic problem

3.) Chronic disease

4.) Personal history of mental illness

Depression can also occur due to genetic and psycho-social imbalance. There can be many physical reasons for this like malnutrition, weather, disease, hormones, etc. 90% of depression patients suffer from sleep problems. He is neither able to sleep properly nor is he able to fulfill his desires. Our society is also a reason for this illness. Some people become victims of depression due to fear of society. Due to the fear of what the people of the society will say, a person wastes his built life.
