Depression is huge ..youngsters, middle aged and even old people suffer from it. It doesn't spare any age , or sex or the rich or the poor . It's like a monster on a rampage . ..a boyfriend or a girlfriend has left them , inability to cope up with changing lifestyle, problems with the spouse or the in -laws, Ill health , children leaving you and going away for further studies or sons separating from parents after marriage , death of a spouse or a child or a parent, sibling rivalry where you are unable to do better than your brother or sister, parents creating differences between one child and the other...there are so many, many causes.Remember , wherever your thought goes , energy follows. The more you talk of depression , the same energy awaits you . A lot of people are fat today because they do emotional eating ie filling the emptiness in you with food . The stomach fat is nothing but stored emotions or undigested emotions . Talking about depression, in medical terms , it's a mood disorder and loss of interest in your daily activities. It can lead to sleeplessness, anxiety, anger, aggressiveness, frustration , lack of appetite, binging, anorexia, lack of concentration, low self esteem and even suicidal thoughts . It's about feeling low for no reason . Life is a journey and how you want to go about it, is your choice . Life gives you opportunities to figure out things for yourself , its upto you how you want to do it . The path may not be easy , but you can dare to walk because the end of the road is always beautiful. Believe it and it shall happen .
