What is depression? How people ignore it?

Written and Edited by: Sameeksha Pradhan

We all might have heard the term Depression and the moment we hear the term our mind imprints the picture of a person who is sad, lonely or sitting in a dark room in a corner with his head tilted as low as it could be but no that's not the case always. This is the most misinterpreted version of depression.

A person suffering from depression is actually hiding himself in a shield , that shield might be of a fake happy face. According to me, Depression is not only when someone is lonely n cries everytime. It's also when you're smiling outside but whenever you sit with yourself you find every inch of you paining. It's also when you can't breath within. It's also when every happy thing seems an illusion. It's also when you want to talk about it but you can't. It's heartbreaking.

Whenever you feel a person going through this phase instead of letting him on his own go try to talk though he will be a hard nut to crack but still try. You can never imagine the pain he is going through.

Each morning the fight that's going through inside his mind and the negativity that's surrounding him is hard to avoid. Whenever you get a chance just go help him out, sit next to him and try to be there for that person.

The littlest act of yours may drag someone out of the miserable condition he is in.
