Depression signs, symptoms and treatment

Depression signs, symptoms and treatment 

Depression is the name of a sensitivity that affects a person today and swallows the joys of yesterday, becoming young.

The sufferer knows that this is a word (depression) but in reality the person who is depression

Actually weighted. Depression takes a person to a point in his life where he himself does not remember what is actually the cause of his condition.

It eats humans like termites inside. Apparently that person is like a building but in reality this building is hollow. And like all things infested with termites, there comes a day when this hollow building collapses. Man breaks down. There is darkness everywhere. Like a dark cloud in a state of error.

What is depression? 

Depression a  sensitivity in which something seems difficult. As if everything that once made me happy no longer makes me happy. As all the colors of life faded. Man is forced to think that he was ever happy?

He should neither wake up in the morning nor sleep at night. As if there is a deep sea and man keeps drowning in its darkness. deep And deep. And then so deep that it was just darkness all around.

Depression is initially like a reaction. The reaction of this life which was never in our hands and never will be. A reaction to those problems that seem impossible for a person to eliminate. In fact, it is the denial of everything that our eyes see.

 Arrange, worship, do not allow negative thoughts in your mind. Try to be happy as much as possible. There is always someone around you who you can share your heart and mind with. Always keep in touch with someone who can understand you. You can regain your lost hope in life, besides, give time to get you out of this situation, that is, show patience and develop courage in yourself.

Because everything does not take time to happen, but it takes time to end, the individual strength and will of a person also affects the control of this disease.
