Hi friends.....

hope you guys are having gr8 weekend....

A very important issue plaguing our today's fast paced and high tech generation is killing,something we are not very comfortable talking about it but its effecting more and more people and creating havoc in their lives, so thought why not share some  info on the topic.

At least this way you will be aware and hopefully help some one who is suffering.

The topic for discussion as topic suggest is "Depression".

Do you have depression?

Most of us feel sad, lonely, or depressed at times. And feeling depressed is a normal reaction to loss, life's struggles, or an injured self-esteem.But when these feelings become overwhelming and last for long periods of time, they can keep you from leading a normal, active life. That's the time to seek medical help.

If left untreated, symptoms of clinical or major depression may worsen and last for years. They can cause untold suffering and possibly lead to suicide. 

Recognizing the symptoms of depression is often the biggest hurdle to the diagnosis and treatment of clinical or major depression. Lookout for warning sign and following symptoms.

 Symptoms of Depression
·         Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
·         Fatigue and decreased energy
·         Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
·         Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
·         Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
·         Irritability, restlessness
·         Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
·         Overeating or appetite loss
·         Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems 
·         Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
·         Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

 Depression carries a high risk of suicide. Anybody who expresses suicidal thoughts or intentions should be taken very, very seriously.

Warning signs of suicide with depression include:

·         A sudden switch from being very sad to being very calm or appearing to be happy
·         Always talking or thinking about death
·         Clinical depression (deep sadness, loss of interest, trouble sleeping and eating) that gets worse
·         Losing interest in things one used to care about
·         Making comments about being hopeless, helpless, or worthless
·         Saying things like "It would be better if I wasn't here" or "No one want me"

Remember, if you or someone you know is demonstrating any of the above warning signs of suicide with depression & needs help do not hesitate and take that step to help you might just save someones life....

Reach out to someone who needs help .....
