Conquering Your Depression

Causes of Depression

8. Moving out

( for a young person moving out of his or her family house, sometimes even far from it can be a very stressful event. Some would be happy cause there's no more parental control & they can do what they want in their own house or flat now - some others will suffer from depression because they miss the life with their parents & as it used to be so much ).

( it also relates to moving to a new town, or sometimes even a foreign country into a totally different society with different culture, habits & everything - some people can get used to this change quickly - some others will suffer from depression because they just can't get used to it ). 

9. Losing a job

( it's especially painful for Men who were supposed to be 'the head of the family' - then they feel guilty that they can't provide their family with money needed for everyday life, they feel as if they 'failed' and may start using too much alcohol ).

10. Divorce 

( I heard about some cases that people were saying that they were 'happy to divorce' & had a 'divorce party bigger than their wedding party some years before' - but theses are exceptions, and people usually are sad about their divorce. Especially women, after spending many years with their husbands, having children, and so much in common with them - then they may usually suffer from depression because they spent a big part of their lives with men they loved - & they found out that those men stopped loving Them ). 

11. Retirement

( a retired person may suffer from depression because his or her whole lifestyle changes - they don't go to work anymore, so they sometimes feel lonely, 'useless' & don't know what to do with the great amount of free time they suddenly have - that's why it's important to remember about them. They should have good contact with their families to spend time with them - and if they don't have families they should have friends & some entertainment not to feel depressed ).

12. Too much stress

( everyone has his limits he can take - & living in a constant stress, as some people do nowadays - may lead to depression & other health problems ). 

13. Being Overworked

( working too much & not having enough rest is not healthy for anyone - unfortunately more & more people are workaholics nowadays - so they finally reach the point that they are even 'too tired to get up & go to work' - not to mention doing anything else. That's how their depression starts ).

14. Personal problems & social isolation

( it can start in childhood, for example if a child is isolated by the rest of the group. Noone wants to sit next to them or play with them sometimes for a stupid reason or even for no reason & then they come home & cry 'Nobody likes me' - if adults help them solve that problem & socialize, they may be fine soon, but if they are left alone - they may suffer from depression at quite an early age ). 

15. Serious ilness or accident

( Depression may be caused by some other ilness, sometimes long lasting, when the patient loses his hope & strength to fight or by disability that makes the life more difficult, especially if such people were fit before that - and then they had an accident & now have to use a wheelchair ). 

16. Drug or alcohol addiction

( about 30% of people who abuse substances like drugs or alcohol may suffer from depression because of the harm it does to their brains after many years of heavy drinking or using drugs ).

17. 'No reason at all'?

( just as I said before when I was telling you about my friend who had a depression perion as a late teen - sometimes Depression may not have any visible reason, just as it was in Helen's case ). 

( & that's why so many artists: Singers, actors, writers, celebrities & talented Wattpad users who draw the best Art I've Ever Seen suffer from it. Unfortunately ).
