Have you ever been depressed or know a person that is depressed or was once depressed? If you do then you will definitely know it's a bad thing to be depressed because it can affect a person's whole life activity and render them useless among people or their peers.
You will be affect of overthinking and a lot of negative emotions that you will definitely bottle up inside you.
There is a lot of changes that will affect your body system and your daily routine when you go into depression. You will lose appetite to eat, even food that is likely your best food will go sour in your mouth because all your mind will be focus on will not be the food but what is disturbing you and making you depressed. You will lose interest in activities that interest you and your wish is just to stay indoor all day all alone. When a person has low self esteem ,felt helpless and hopeless such a person is definitely depressed and needs help.
A lot of things cause depression. It may be as a result of the loss of a loved one which may be a family or a friend and a breakdown relationship can also cause depression too. A close friend of mine has once be in this situation.
Her relationship that she thought will lead to marriage eventually fail and the guy break up with her. She was sad and was not able to eat for days and all she do was cry because she didn't expect what happen. She became so thin that all her trousers didn't fit her again. It was so obvious that she was depressed because she didn't come out of her room for some days when her relationship break.

I was sad seeing her in that situation and all I could do is to stay with her for some days, motivate her, and try to cheer her up. Thank God after some months she get over it and was doing her daily activities back. Though she didn't get over the breakup completely till now, but I am glad she move on with her life.
A lot of people found themselves in these kind of situations and worst of it and they end up being depressed which is not their fault because I have talk to a dumb person before who said people who went into depression cause that to their selves. I was so shocked hearing that and deep inside me all I can think of has this lady ever go through any life challenges before. Maybe yes or not, that I don't know about because me personally have go through depression before and I don't think I cause that myself. Well, that's a story for another day or maybe I will never share.
The good part of it is that depression can be treatabe and it's not something you will have to deal with forever. If it's a minor one all you just have to do is pick up yourself back and everything will fall into places but if it's a critical one, you will have to go for a psychotherapy.
