Depression is a disease and needs to be recognized as such. There is no reason to be ashamed. The reason many people fail to seek help for their depression is that they are embarrassed. Unfortunately, these are the feelings associated with depression nonetheless and make illness difficult to admit.
When you are always feeling down, well-meaning friends may tell you to “get out of here” or get annoyed at the way you feel. Your depression will eradicate this evil and you will begin to wonder why you can't just "get out of it". Then you start to feel that something is wrong with you because it should be easy and "wrong" that you feel bad all the time. Well, it's not right and there is something wrong with you. She is in good health and deserves the same treatment as any other patient. If you have had a cold for six months can you ignore it and hope it will go away? No, you can measure yourself with whatever you can get and maybe see a doctor to find out if there is a fundamental reason why it lasts so long.
Depression is chronic grief. Everyone is sad at some point in their lives but depression is more than that. It is a feeling that you cannot lift yourself from the ground. Eventually, he stops trying. People are starting to avoid you. You feel bad. You need to get outside help to treat the problem the way you would if you had a chronic fever. You can try herbal remedies - available at your pharmacy - or you can see your doctor. It may be the underlying cause of your depression.
If your doctor is unable to help you he or she can refer you for counseling. Don't be ashamed to get advice but make sure you are comfortable with your mentor. If not, try another one. Counseling should not be reduced because you do not feel comfortable with your first choice of doctors. In everyday life, you will find that you interact with other people and conflict with others. You cannot afford a personal conflict with your adviser. On the other hand, you need to make sure it is a personal conflict and not just disagree with what they say. The general rule is to comply with your instincts. If you love that person and you seem to get along well with the first few plans, go ahead and do it because you may have touched the root of your problem.
In some cases, admitting to depression may be difficult because you have lived with it for so long that you do not know whether it is depression or not. When you grow up with depression you may not realize that you are depressed because you do not know how normal people should feel. You may feel angry all the time or you may want to go into an empty stadium and just scream. You may feel anxious, have trouble sleeping or sleep too much. You may think that your family would be better off without you (and you believe that to be true) and you may even consider running away or committing suicide. You may always worry about death (yours or someone else's) and not allow yourself to be happy if it happens …… (or “I should enjoy this now if it happens.) If you feel any or all of the above you should consider talking to someone. Even if it is a friend or family member you can start with, they can advise and encourage you to seek professional help.
Once you have admitted that you have anxiety please remember that it is a medical condition and can be treated. You do not have to feel this way forever. Nobody thinks of you the way you think. Talk to someone. Seek and receive help and you will find that there is a different way of seeing life
