Hey guys, i have seen that depression is a part and parcel of every individual's life. Even if we try to stay calm and chilled out, there comes a point when we even get stressed and depressed about some issues.
I had a friend of mine who was always into some kind of depression, may be due to his studies or parental pressure or a relationship. He was so sick with his depression that he started taking sleeping pills and other host of medicines and he even did not inform these things to his parents or to me even. Eventually he was hospitalized and we were all shocked to hear when docs said that he was taking sleeping pills. I was in a shock and i thought that this was not the way to overcome one's depression.
What are your thoughts regarding this? How do u deal with your depression? Please share your thoughts!

Depression must not take long. In this case, one has to consult a doctor already. He must be in to counselling too so as to know the root of depression and take some anti depressants. His family must support him emotionally too.
Thanks for this discussion.
Have a nice day!

Thanks a ton for your valuable response. Well yes u are absolutely right, one should never allow depression to take control of one's life otherwise the journey in life becomes pathetic and serious.
If we feel like sharing but find it tough to share with the elders or the people around us, then we can always sought the help of a doctor so that we are not tracing any wrong path. I feel that medicines in any case should not be taken in this regard rather the solution is there in our hands.
What say?

@xiejiaotu-
Thanks a ton for your valuable response. Yes u are right, what is the value of taking the help of medicines when we have so many doctors and experts around us and they would never hesitate to help us in this matter. In fact they insist us to come to them and speak out heart out if we are battling any issues in our life.
As u have mentioned, depression in the long run will take control over us and we wont be able to do anything then as it would be very late to take any concrete steps.

That's really sad . But what's the reason for his depression? I think we should open up and share our thoughts with our loved ones then we can come out of such thoughts and we also feel light .we even get solutions to problems when we share with people.

Thanks a ton for your valuable response. Well yes it was disappointing, his depression was all about studies and his personal life and he never opened up to me in spite of my repeated attempts and see his condition now.
Unless and until u do not open up to people around u or share the reason of your depression with your closed ones, the depression keeps on increasing in such a way that it starts affecting your health adversely.

Thanks a ton for your valuable response. Well i feel bad about u that u were battling depression and i think medicines wont work at all just as it did not work in your case.
What u need to do is to overcome your depression and have a control over your emotions and feelings. Whenever u are getting depressed try to get indulge in one thing or the other so that your mind gets diverted and u forget the past things.
