Literally, Depression can be defined as a state of mind producing serious, long-term lowering of enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future, it's also a state of unhappiness.
Depression has become an issue in our society, recently there are lot of reported cases of suicide, resulting from depression. Today I will be discussing causes of and remedies to depression, one after the other.
Causes Of Depression
There are many causes of depression but I will only discuss few of it as follows:-
- Failure:- failure can be in different forms, academically if someone fail an examination, it can lead to depression. Maritally, if there is separation/divorce in someone's marriage it can also lead to depression. Also, if someone failed in a business by loosing a large amount of money invested on a particular business, it can also lead to depression.
Loss:- Loss of properties, loss of money, also loss of family members can all lead to depression.
Disappointment:- Disappointment can come in different ways, someone that is jilted in his/her relationship can feel disappointed and this can cause depression, also someone that rely on the promise made to him/her for an assistance and eventually the person that made such promise didn't fulfill it, this is also a disappointment to the person that rely on such promise and this also can cause depression.
Remedy To Depression
One of the remedies to depression is to call on God through prayer, whenever you feel depressed, talk to God about your problems and He will answer you, lift and restore you.
Read the word of God at all times no matter your religion, and speak them over your life, through this act you are listening to God through His words.
- Seek for assistance by seeing a counsellor, a doctor, or a pastor, just make sure you talk to someone that can help concerning whatever situation you may be passing through.
