How to Deal with Depression?
HOW TO DEAL WITH DEPRESSION
Dr.P. Madhurima Reddy
Depression is a serious medical condition that affects the way you behave, feel, and think. It causes a loss of interest in daily activities and even activities you once enjoyed. One in every 15 people suffer from depression in a year and one in six may experience it in a lifetime (APA, 2013)
Depression is a difficult concept and not everyone understands it. The ones who suffer or have suffered through this clinical illness know the emotions and feelings that run through them. Seeing other people not understand can make you feel a lot more frustrated. At times others may say that ‘it s all an act’ and ‘it is all in your mind’ which can worsen depression.
