People's Perceptions About Depression

It is something that hurts inside when somebody interprets the definition of depression, I can't say you are offences, those people are talking bluff, who knows you might be virtue but little back you should not be the victim of others one day or another. Depression isn't a complication it is a disease. It can be cured and sometimes it cannot. The disease has no age, anyone who is emotional will acquire that disease. But you should remember that it is not a sexual disease. If it was a sexual disease do you think the six years old child will be having sexual desire???  The sixty years old woman will be having sexual desire??  People gossip about depression saying, " Ohh that disease can be rehabilite if he or she obtain marriage".

These things are happening more to girls and getting victims. I have some questions to those who think getting married will cure the disease. Will you able to let your daughter who is of six years old marry a man who is of twenty eight years old???  And your daughter is suffering from depression. I know you cannot because you love your child more than anyone, then why do you think that other patient with dejection should get married and influencing their parents. 

The pain that patient is bearing might be tiny for you but deep inside they are having tough time to abide. Those comments that society, media has created was more prickles to bear. A sister sending her husband to a girl patient's bed who was her sister to have a sex so that she can be cured from depression is more pathetic,  parents hiring a man to get married with their daughter is unimaginable facts. Young girls are kept droped out from the school to get marry mainly to heal the disease. If you really want to restore, it is not only a medicine. The patients at the psychiatrist are not advocate to marry because they know how to council with those patients but back at home their parents are in hurry to treat their daughters by marrying with a men. If you are doing so, your daughter is more gloom. 

I didn't hear of the patient who was suffering from depression has rehabilitated by marriage. Then if so what about the people who is at age of fifties, sixties having depression, you are her sons and daughters, will you prefer your parents getting married..?? I am not here to go against with your decision but I am here to clear the misconception not for you but for myself. It does not mean that only girls are victims but there are some boys who are still a victim. 

Forget about the society and the media. They are meant for creating fake advertisement. Think of your own siblings who has the same blood is ignoring you when you were in need of them just owing to the fact that you are depressed. Your relatives, your family will avoid you saying; she is depressed since she is having boyfriend and he might have offended her. So better we don't care about it. That will be most be-sore episode. Not getting supports from the people whom you expect.  Do you ever asked any depression patient why you are unhappy..?? Why you so melancholy..? I know you have not forthe reason that your head was already dumped with negative thoughts. 

Who knows the reason other then boyfriend, marriage, and all nonsense. Sometimes when you get emotional... Was that only because the matter of love??  Don't you get upset with your parents when they are always fighting...?  Don't you feel sad when somebody harass you..? Don't you feel embress when somebody humiliate you infront of the media...? Will you cherish your lonely days at school...? Don't you feel worry when somebody black-mails you..? Are you happy if you are not scoring good marks in accadamy...? Don't you cause pain when you stay away from your home at the age of six or seven...? Will you be happy if your own siblings are raped..? Will enjoy continuing your business if you are running loses every year..? Will you be able to allow your sister to be raped by your friends and some more reasons but not appreciated. So those might be the reason why depressed person are victims.

Your perceptions could be appreciated but if you could lend your hand not to spread stories will be more helpful. And please don't get me wrong as I already told that I am here to clear myself not against your rights. As someone said; "make a million mistakes! Just quit your energy making the same mistakes!". So avoid hurting your child with those miscomunnication.
