Depression and society

Depression is one of those diseases that no one really understands when he is referring to it, “why are you so depressed?” a common question, kind of shows us what society has to say about depression, a temporary, mild condition. But those who experienced depression will tell you that this kind of attitude towards this disease is one of the dangerous causes that depression is constantly being overlooked and ignored.

Depression hurts. It is one of the most heartbreaking diseases (literally) in our modern world. Depression hurts, not only in the mental realm, but in the physical as well. This goes unnoticed by many people, who associate depression with some intangible malady affecting only the mind. Symptoms vary, but there are some recurring ones. These may include attitudinal changes where one loses interest in activities that were previously enjoyed, a social aloofness that separates one from family and friends, or a different, darker outlook on the world and its inhabitants.
