Sadness vs Depression

 Many people mistake depression for sadness and sadness for depression because they share many similarities. In both, People feel

1. Lost
2. complain of alienation (Detached) from their normal lives and cry

How ever the main difference is that 

 "People have specific reasons for their sadness,Whereas the depressed people may not have one."

 

 

 "It's easy for a sad person to tell you what is bothering them: but not for the depressed"

Sad person can give reasons like: 

The  death of a loved person 

The loss of job 

Breaking up in relationship etc..,

Where as the depressed person is just depressed: they can't pinpoint the causes of their hoplessness. But there could be symptoms.

Sadness is a typical human emotion whereas depression is a mental illness.

                     "Like we have symptoms to physical illness, Depresssion is also a illness with certain symptoms to identify."

                                               

Many people lack clarity on this. Both the things are common among most of us.

"The reason depression and sadness are closely linked is that Depression is sadness where the cause has been unconsciously forgotten to protect you from overwhelming feelings of loss and pain."

Talk therapy would help to get rid of the depression

Action plan also would wok

Furthermore, a person who is depressed  may not understand that they are depressed (First thing to solve a problem is to know that there is a problem). People who suffer from depression can have lowered self-esteem, feel shame and guilt and, at times, have suicidal thoughts. People who are sad are generally upset about something that has happened to them and can specifically point it out.  They dont feel a lack of self-worth.

    Someone with depression would rather mask their true emotions than deal with them.

 

"People who are depressed need someone to listen to them, someone to support them. They need to speak to someone because, it can be solved by 'fixing the brain chemistry'."

But Helping the people with depression would be a fine idea. when helping them these things would work better with them:

1. Listen-  Helpt the person come to a state where they can accept that they have an issue.
2. Identify- Hlep the person come to a state where they feel comfortable identfiying that issue.
3. Empower- help the person gain their sense of worth and value, and help them see how they have the power ot come out of it all.
4. Address- Find a solution to their depression by one of the three solutions given above. Do not be too judmental about them.

 

"Don't speak Negatively about yourself or someone, even as a joke. Body doesn't know the difference but mind does.Words are energy and cast spells: that's why it's called a SPELLING." 

Don't Ever try talking negative about you or others because that negative thought is going to be a weapon that you are creating against you.  

"Changing the way you speak to yourself and others, Changes the way you  think and thus changes the way you live and your life"

 AFFRIMATIONS are more powerful

#You can do it

# You are Valuable

#You are loved

Try things like this in day to day these are positive statements which help us to overcome self-defeat and negative thoughts.

As many say :- our thoughts become our words, our words become our actions & our actions become our character.

"Many negative thoughts hover around our minds like many birds in the sky, don't allow those birds to have a nest in you." 

#We don't need an Unwanted guest to our meal 

It is not only important to make one self physical fit but we have to think of rewiring of mind as well otherwise you, me and anyone out there could be a prey for this depression.

3 ways to avoid feeling depressed:

1. Sleep ( a Sound sleep can help with this feeling)
2. Maintaining Health
3. Diet ( Eating Healthy, fresh food would make us refreshing)

Eat Healthy, Do Healthy, Be Healthy (If our Intake is Healthy, working on Healthy to spend those intake, ending with Healthy would definitely make us healthy in all the ways).

After all these are common to all, don't forget to pass a smile😀 to you and your pass by. Nothing is going to loss if you have a smile.

Everyone can find the dirt in someone but be the one who can find gold in others.
