WHAT TO DO. :DEPRESSION

      Depression is a mental disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities ,causing significant impairment in daily life.
(So that's according to google).
I don't think depression can be defined,me loosing interest in activities doesn't make me depressed,moreso not all that are smiles are living.How do you explain why a person with everything one can have,in all aspects of life be depressed.
I  checked my WhatsApp messages a faithful day,only to view and read the news report of a studet who allegedly committed suicide due to depression,Here depression ,there depression.Depression is real.So real,I was once a victim of depression,this thing drinks your energy,hope,and drive,making it difficult to take the steps that will make you feel better,you get tired of living,which makes one think of suicide.I read and hear people reaction to people who committed suicides,everyone who attempted suicide was doing the best they could in life,trying to take everyday one step at a time,but pressures eventually crushed them to the point of having no hope at all.
                     IS SUICIDE AN OPTION?
The rate at which people commit suicide due to depression is alarming..
God(sigh)How do we know who has suicidal thoughts,

Wisdom:
Depression is a very complex sickness.It is very difficult to define.Someone that is depressed might be feeling worthless, down inwardly but outwardly might be lively.Its very difficult to detect



Tomi:
Depression is an inner darkness that gradually affects an individuals life significantly without anyone's notice..


  TO MENTION BUT A FEW.


Be nice to people around you,you have no idea what they might be going through
Keep close relationship with people,you might not know someone needs it.


  The question now is
                    HOW DO WE FIGHT DEPRESSION?
                     HOW CAN WE DETECT WHO IS GOING  THROUGH DEPRESSION?
                      HOW CAN WE DETECT SUICIDAL FRIENDS?
                     

                           DEPRESSION IS REAL
