AKEEL PEERZADA
Mood swings and the feeling of sadness for a time being is a normal part of life, but when such feelings take hold and refused go away then the person may feel worthless and suicidal; depression is one among them. Depression is the mental health instability or simply a mood deficit that is filled with persistent feelings of sadness, lack of interest in activities which ultimately causes a momentous loss to the daily life routine. It tends to have a significant impact on the way one behaves, thinks, feels; involvement in various activities and the way one acts. In short it affects each and every corner of the life and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. Some people may feel restlessness, left alone, spurned by the world. Men in particular feel angry and restless whereas women are twice as likely as men to experience Depression. As we all know female folks are always deadly sensitive than male folk. The early signs can be traced easily by the below given symptoms. Depression is a disease and need to be cured very early. It could lead to various physical and mental problems.

World Health Organization (WHO) has put forward some key facts about depression which are as under:

Depression is a common mental disorder. Globally, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression.
Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.
More women are affected by depression than men.
Depression can lead to suicide.
There are effective psychological and pharmacological treatments for moderate and severe depression.

Symptoms

The continual feeling of sadness or loss of interest that characterizes major depression can lead to a range of behavioral and physical symptoms. Some common or we can say primitive symptoms of Depression are as:

Feelings of sadness, fearfulness, emptiness or hopelessness.
Loss of interest in daily activities.
Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much.
Overeating or major loss of appetite.
Digestive problems that don't get better, even with treatment and can create turmoil.
Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort and unwillingness.
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame.
An increase in physical complaints such as headaches, back pain, aching muscles, and stomach pain, strain etc.
You engage in escapist behavior such as substance abuse, compulsive gambling,   careless driving, or dangerous and terrible sports.
Suicidal thoughts or attempts. A person may feel suicidal when he/she doesn’t fulfill his/her demands and requirements.

Treatment

Living with depression can be difficult, but treatment can help improve your quality of life. There are many effective treatments for depression, including:

Therapy: Effective treatment for depression oftentimes is consulting a therapist/psychiatrist who can provide you desirable tools or therapies to treat depression from a variety of angles and persuade you to take the appropriate action. Therapy can also provide you lessons and insight or we can say perfect guidelines about how to stop depression from coming back?

Medication: If ever you feel suicidal or violent over little arguments then there is another cure for depression and that is mediation. Medication can be used for certain time without any delays. The prescribed medicines are given to the patient for further treatment, but taking medicines can lead to many internal as well as external defects. So, better to avoid medication and involve yourself in some other activities where your interest lies and be confident always.

SOLITUDE

AKEEL PEERZADA S olitude is marked by the state of being or living in isolation either due to bad relationships, or by one’s own choice or it may due to the combination of both.   Solitude is not avoiding others it is actually the state of being with you to overcome exhaustion. Spending time without any external turmoil is quiet soothing, peaceful and pleasant. One should take out some time from his busy schedule to mend his life or we can say problematic situations in isolation and especially when one is going through lots of ups and downs. One should be grateful if he/she is finding peace in solitude, because the present Era is full of mischievous and disturbed moments.

As we all were entirely busy in pampering an orphan girl, our neighbor. Meanwhile, the sky was covered with deadly and pitch-dark clouds as if something bad is going to happen to me.
