Depression and frustration are related word, but there is a difference between these two. Let me explain you the basic difference between these two. Frustration impact in our life is shorter or less comparable to depress. In depression our mental strength is almost lost and it's hard to come out of depression while in frustration you can come out of that easily.In Depression we lost self confidence and trust on self while in frustration we have that are less affected. But, Frustration can convert to depression sometimes if you don't care. (for more detail on frustration, please read my blog article frustration)
Root Cause of Depression
From my point of view below can be dominating factor for depression.
1.Incident
Sometime suddenly all things change which can impact our mind. For example, You are earning too much money in your business, but due to some reason your income reduces suddenly. Due to this you are unable to fulfill your family requirement. It will create pressure in your mind and after some time you may be in a depression.
When you lost a main family member in an accident and suddenly too many responsibility come to you and if you are not able to fulfill that then it can impact on your mind and after some time you may be in a depression.
2.Failure
When people fail after several attempt they can come with depression. It can be in anything like sports, exam, business. For Example, If some sportsmen after hard preparation not able to select in national team then they can come with depression.
3.Disease
When people are suffering from diseases like cancer, HIV, diabetes, they feel like they burden to himself and for family. Some people among them are from childhood live freely and when they affected by this kind of diseases they are not able to tolerate and after a long time they may come with depression.
4.Break-up
Our mind is directly proportional to feeling and emotion. When we are in love with someone our mind is connected with them. Break-up happens due to some reason then our feeling and emotion are crushed. Which can create issues in our mind. We are not able to erase the memory of those feelings and emotion and sometime it can cause depression.
Ways to come out of depression
About depression, I think "prevention is better than cure" applies as well. We should take care once we are mature to think about yourself. Let's discuses first prevention of depression. you can follow at least one of the below option.
Reading
I am not telling you to read books related to your field. My intention of reading is to read something that motivate or inspire you. Keep a habit of reading a positive, meaningful book it will help you to fight when you are in the worst phase of your life. For example, Reading the book of saint, scientist, inspirational story, freedom fighter.
Sports
Keep yourself connected with one of the sports not as a career, but as a habit. It will make you stronger physically and mentally. Instead of exercise I have mentioned sports reason is exercised will give you only physical fitness but sports will give you mental and physical path. If you are a sportsman then also keep yourself connected with one more sport just for enjoyment. It will make you strong enough because you are playing that without tension and intention.
Yoga and Meditation
Yoga and Meditation will give you physical and mental fitness. If You are doing yoga and meditation regularly, it means you have control on yourself. If you have control on yourself that means you will not go into a depression situation.
Nature
If you have a nearby natural place exist keep visiting it. It will give you peace of mind and make your mind strong when you watch sea, tree, mountain, river, bird. Please avoid taking too many photos and enjoy the beauty created by god. Also plan to tour once in a year for natural place that will refresh you from daily work.
Now, Let's say we missed the prevention then what? For that, let's discuss what we can do if we are in a depression.
For depression I can't give you many solutions, but there is one solution, but it's enough to solve this issue. When we are in a depression we don't like to talk to everyone and share our issue. But at least find one person, it may be your friend or relative. Please select that person wisely who is having positive thoughts and energy. Try to connect with him as much as you can. Once you feel comfortable, then share your problem. All the best.
