I Feel Sorry for Them

It's unfortunate that people of such young age go through this sad state due to genetics and other factors. In my career as counselor I have come across people from all age groups struggling with it. And the stigma attached to it and lack of awareness in society makes it even more challenging for them.

It is really difficult to make people come out of it

I completely understand. Depression seems to run in our family. That and bipolar. I also suffer from depression but like you, I am able to manage.

Yes it's a very hard thing because people are dying due to it

It would really be hard to have severe depression. More often than sometimes, when others will know about it, they will misunderstand and think it is simply your fault for feeling pathetic and sorry for yourself and advise you to man up and think positively not knowing it can be insensitive and a serious condition. I guess the best thing to do with people, whether they have depression or not is to understand and be kind towards any man. With such, maybe we can help them a bit in their condition. I found philosophy to have helped me in times of depression. How do you cope with your depression, as you say, you have mild symptoms but when we reach a certain breakthrough, the mild can be much bigger.
