My Take On Depression

Depression is one of the most common mental disorders and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.

Depression is caused by long term or severe stress and in extreme cases can lead to suicide. According to world health organisation “globally an estimated 300 million people are effected by depression.”

In our part of the word is it more common because our society is still in development stage. At some point of our lives majority of us have been through depression and we are all familiar with the feeling of loneliness and emptiness. There is no shame in having such disorders as in past, even some Prophets had been through depression. When our dear Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did not receive any revelation for six month he became depressed. He thought Allah (SWT) doesn’t love him and don’t want him as a prophet anymore, all these thought were coming in his mind. So Allah Sent jibril and revealed Surah Duha to him. It is cure for depressed souls. Depression is caused by past events and Allah Promises a better future in this Surah.

I myself has been through depression for more then a decade. I still get depressed sometimes but I’ve found ways to cope with it because I’m it’s regular customer. It can be managed by therapies and medicines but medicines can cause other illnesses. The best treatment is to recite Quran and exercise daily for fourth fifty mints. The maintenance and reactivation of social network and social activities is very important. It there is a depressed person in our circle our support can help them immensely. Take care of your self, be calm and trust Allah. Life is beautiful and it’s a gift from Allah so live it to the fullest.
