Depression is not new to us. Each one of us has experienced it or is experiencing it. It is classified as clinical depression and often results to personality disorders
.
Clinical depression s a mental disorder characterized by an all-encompassing low mood accompanied by low self-esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_depressive_disorder). In other words, this is merely a state of mind, in a sense that it results from being moody to having low self esteem. As a consequence personality disorder steps in. Personality disorders, formerly referred to as character disorders, are a class of personality types which deviate from the contemporary expectations of a society (.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder). Meaning, this kind of disorder is being judge depending on the society’s norms and organization. One may be considered as deviating from the society when he can not contribute to the perpetuity of the so-called status quo.
If there’s an illness there’s a cure. As a suggestion I would like to revise the phrase “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away” to “a smile a day keeps the depression away”. I know it may be an amateur suggestion but that’s the simplest thing I can suggest to be treated from depression. It is in smiling that you are responding to the challenges brought by life in an optimistic point of view. One must bear in mind that puzzles are made to enhance critical minds in providing creative solutions and not for the reason everyone thinks – a burden. Depression is inevitable in nature and is just a corner away. But mind you, depression is just a state of mind. No person will get depressed unless he permits to be. The main treatment here is to take life easy but serious and do not expect that much. After all we are brought here not only to enjoy the wellness of life but also to tackle it’s bitter portion. Live life with a smile and let depression die.
