When we talk about depression people usually associated it with stress. This is because stress and depression since it shares many similarities which are both involve emotional feelings. For example, my friends will say 'I am depressed' instead of 'I am stress' whenever they're not able to complete the assessment given by lecturers. From the situation, it is definitely stress because once they finished the task the feeling they felt at the time will vanish and replaced by happiness or relax the situation.
However, depression is far more serious because it's a mental disorder and will stay a long time with the person due to bad things happened to them in the past. Depression usually associated with feelings of sadness or hopelessness over a long period of time that doesn’t go away.
A person who has depression always looks exhaustion, lack of energy and motivation, continuous guilt or shame. They also have rapid mood swings, from anger to rage, change in appetite, losing or gaining weight. The most dangerous is suicidal thoughts which many have done it in the past.
The cause of depression is varied from the environment to the situation of a person. One may be in the depression due to the constant pressure from the parents to excel in everything such as studies and work. The other could be the guilt over something happened in the past such as deaths of the person they love.
The treatment for depression includes seeking professional medical help from a physician, counsellor or therapist. Avoid self-medicating with alcohol and drugs. They must exercise, eat healthily, meditate, have a proper sleep, don't isolate themselves, maintain healthy relationships with friends and family and take medication from a doctor.
