Now a days, we are very likely to hear that one of the three people is suffering from depression. People of our society does not take mental illnesses as a serious health issue. They ignore the symptoms and make the situation of a person more miserable.
We cannot say that the people of particular age group are suffering from this disease. Every person regardless of their age can have depression. Depression is a disease; people of our society must consider it as a health problem. If we don’t take this issue seriously, we can lose our loved ones.
There are several reasons for having a depression. We should not judge a person if he or she is suffering from bad times. We should give them support and help them to come out of this problem. People can make the situation of the person worse by their behaviors and their attitudes.
Causes of Depression;
Depression can be a reason of problems that are faced by a person in his or her personal life. It can be abuse, torture, constant tension, attitude of loved ones, pressure of society or discrimination. The reasons listed above are just the examples to explain the causes. There are hundreds of unheard stories and the list of causes is quite long.
If we take examples of different age group which are suffering from depression. So, we can consider teenagers as a 1st group. A child of age 15 to 18 is also suffering with depression and the reason is pressure of doing well in school. The torture of being compared by others. These all things destroy their personality.
If we consider an adult or age 22, he is also in depression and the reason is unemployment. Not getting the job he deserved. Seeing his fellows getting their desired work. He endures all the bitterness of society.Let us take the example of a housewife. She is also suffering from depression and the cause is oppression and male dominancy in the house. She is the most helpless creature because no one take her mental health seriously.
Cure for Depression;

A person suffering from depression should consult a respective doctor and have proper medication. If the condition is not taken seriously at that time it can be worse and cause irreversible damage to that person’s life.
