Depression is a disease not weakness!

In thesedays , i was thinking about the death of Chester Bennington singer of linkin park band, I read on many social networks the words "Selfish ", "Weak" and "Drugged". A few words about the real murderer of this singer, depression. Depression is a disease that does not resolve with a walk or a walk out with friends, or a beer or a good hamburger, it is a disease that affects, like all diseases, regardless of wealth, fame, power or social status, affects rich, poor, young and old , handsome and ugly, men and women (even though it affects women more often). AND IT IS A DISEASE.
Many think that depression is a whim, a form of laziness or even selfishness. So wrong! Depression may have more levels, the worst it is that drives the extreme gesture of suicide. Depression is a mood disorder and serious can result in a psychiatric disease. It affects every aspect of life, study, work, friendships, sex, sleep and appetite.

It is difficult to handle in a serious way, and in a mild form it is difficult to diagnose, often those close to a depression in the disease start initially underestimate the symptoms, or worse banalize them "it's just sad, you always have the brunt, you always stay in bed because You are lazy, move, react, it's all your fault if you are so sad and cold , you have to give yourself a move!

Symptoms typically occur between the ages of 20 and 40, other times at a late age, altering the quality of life negatively. You can fnd them also in teenagers!

Some signs, symptoms to be alert:

Lack of interest for activities that were first concerned (anedonia)

Negative feelings towards oneself, excessive sense of guilt, sense of uselessness, hatred of itself. In the most serious cases of hallucinations and delusions, self-injury.

Poor concentration and memory. Lack of appetite.

Social retreat, little libido and weaker thoughts on death and suicide.

Pay attention to these symptoms, depression is a disabling disease and not to be underestimated or trivialized. Whoever suffers this disease lives an inner hell and you do not have the slightest idea of how terrible is, and can not escape without help.

No, it is not because he does not want escape it is because he can not! Depressed people are not lazy or selfish. The suffer a lot and this a horrible disease because they know they are sick but it is not visible so most of the people do not see it as a true disesase, but it is a true disease and a very dangerous one.
