Depression is proving to be a number one killer. It is a feeling that is categorised by sadness, feeling, how you think and act. You become disinterested in your normal daily activities and see yourself stuck in an unexplainable position, unfortunately to some leading to suicides. It is high time that the topic is discussed as often as we can to prevent the high number of deaths caused by it. According to the World Health Organisation, one in three South Africans will suffer a mental health episode in their lives. Of these, 75% will go untreated. The unprocessed negative emotions that have been bottled up pile up to be a burden. They disconnect from the outside world. It is a vicious cycle that keeps them trapped in a negative state emotionally and physically. It is very important to take care of our minds and beat the emotions that are stored in our subconscious mind, whether it is pain, rejection, desperation or suffering. It is hard when you literally feel trapped in this downward spiral of sadness and depression that is why it is very important to speak about it and not suffer in silence, seek professional help. Who is prone to depression? According to psychologist there is no time frame for when you can feel depressed but most often than not, it strikes during your teens leading to adulthood and in some cases to your seniors. It is very important that you are aware and able to point out when it strikes. Here are some depression symptoms: • Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much • Feeling worthless or guilty • Thoughts of death or suicide • Feeling sad • Loss of interest in activities that you once found pleasure in • Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions Busiswa Shozi, 26 from the rural of Peddie in the Eastern Cape was diagnosed with clinical depression in her first year of university. “School work got overwhelming, never in my wildest dreams did I think that I could feel the way I did seeing that I am a very strong woman,” she said. “It is very fortunate that though depression is viewed as an illness, but it can be treated. All medicines can cause side effects, typically unwanted effects increase when dose rises. These side effects usually vary from one drug to another, but it is very important that if diagnosed with depression for your wellbeing take the medication and finish the course,” says Busiswa. Most of us hold on to so much motions that it is very to start living the cause of life and not the effect. It also is liberating to take charge of your healing journey and how you’d like to change the content of your script.
