The alarming
rate at which people commit suicide lately is really a cause for worry, both
the young and the olds are not left out in this ugly scenario. My last article
was centered upon depression and worries, coincidentally, some suicide
tragedies struck and the media went into frenzy on the news of a medical doctor
who reportedly jumped into the lagoon from the third mainland bridge in Lagos
state, Nigeria. And just when we thought we have had enough, another lady was
also reported to have attempted similar suicide attempt around satellite town
Ojo also in Lagos. What could have triggered this end-of-time trend in suicide
actions by individuals?

Depression
or prolonged sadness is actually quite common in the Africa especially Nigeria
considering the economic situation at the present time, around 30 percent of
the Nigerian population actually suffer from this illness, however, not all of
them get to be treated, thus, depression and its ill-effects continue to be a
burden to many individuals. This illness may seem quite simple to treat but in
reality, it takes more than a little cheering up to actually cure depression.
Constant visits to a cognitive behavior therapist is a must as well as taking
all the prescribed medicines that the doctor will ask the patient to take –
none of these exactly come cheap, but the amount of suffering that a person is
going through because of depression is enough reason already for others to
start taking notice and face depression head on.
Depression oftentimes can easily get in the
way of an individual’s daily activities and his or her normal functions, one’s enthusiasm
for life can quickly and easily dissipate due to depression. And in place of an
individual’s sunny disposition is more or less a person who hates him or
herself, having no self-confidence, trying to isolate oneself from the world
and basically just not caring about living any more. More so, a person suffering
from depression isn’t the only one who’s going to suffer from this destructive
illness, his or her loved ones are sure to follow suit. By seeing the
individual grow through such rough patches, basically not caring about anything
or anyone anymore, it’s highly likely that not only will depression affect
one’s relationship with oneself but with his or her loved ones too.

Fortunately
depression can now be cured, especially when diagnosed early, depressed
individuals can actually be treated through therapy and medication, although it
may be a bit costly, a person’s good mental health is something that shouldn’t
be frugal on. Cognitive behavioral talk or interpersonal talk are just some of
the available psycho-social treatments that cognitive behavior therapists can
offer to their patients, both actually prove to be able to produce fruitful and
positive results.

Still,
people tend to not recognize depression even right before their eyes, being
honest
with oneself is key to being able to cure such an illness. Never
overlook the various symptoms, depressed individuals oftentimes exhibit
uncharacteristic behaviors such as suddenly lacking interest in one’s hobbies
(or other stuff that he or she usually enjoys), sleeps too much or actually
aren’t able to get some shut-eye, suddenly becoming anti-social, talks a lot
about death or being a worthless person. There are actually a lot more other
symptoms but in case these already fit in your category or of someone that you
know of, go to a reputable psychiatrist at once in order to see if the
depression is still at an early stage or not. From here you’ll be able to
assess how the treatments will actually go.

Depression
shouldn’t be something that people fear of, instead, people should just start
taking charge of their lives and actually face this illness and fight it. Life
is too beautiful a gift to waste and if one will spend the majority of his or
her life just moping around about every single little thing then what kind of
life would that be? Depression may not kill one’s body but it’ll certainly kill
one’s spirit if you’ll let it. Don’t be a victim.
