Don't Under Estimate Depression
Depression is something that is often found in the people that
you love the most and never thought could be dealing with. It is
something that can rip at the very seams of individuals. It is
not just a phase. It is not just something that will go away. It
is life and death and dealing with all that has to go with it.
Many people face terrible crisis in their lives and deal with
it. Others can not deal so well with even the simplest of
things. What happens to many people in either of these cases is
that they can fall under a depression. As a loved one looking
on, it is important that you recognize the possible signs and do
something about it. Waiting too long could be risking their
lives.
In most cases, depression can be recognized by a series of
symptoms such as:
* Mood swings that are not characteristic. * Anger that is
unfounded. Being overly angry about something that seems simple.
* Frustration throughout even the simplest of tasks. * Feelings
of being worthless, unworthy and unloved are also signs.
But, the hardest part is realizing that these things may be
there yet may be hidden. In many cases, those suffering from
depression will talk and tell you what is happening. But, it may
not seem like what they are telling you is the full story.
Instead, they may say that they are overwhelmed, tired and just
too busy to deal with things. In fact, they are in serious
trouble and don't know how to tell anyone they need help.
Recognizing depression is something that anyone that loves
someone should be looking out for. Helping them is what your job
and responsibility is. Don't underestimate depression. Get the
help that they need before it is too late.
