Stress And Depression

by depressiondoctor on November 25th, 2006

We all know that our daily lives are filled with stress. We are stressed that we need to get to work in time, we are stressed with the whole lot of responsibilities that we have at work and we want all of them to be done in the best way possible so that the clients are happy and we are able to earn the company a good reputation and in turn would help us earn a better name and reputation in the company. We are stressed that we need to give our family the due time and help the spouse in their daily work so that they are able to manage the work at home.

We are all tied up and the stress just puts us in a place where we feel really depressed and try to find our strength and courage to get out of the clutches of stress and depression, but sometimes we are not able to do that and we are covered in deep with depression.

Have we ever stopped and seen people around us who are really living such lives along with us and how every single person adds stress to the lives of other people. This is just like a domino where one piece falls and it takes the last one down on the other end. It is really sad to know all that as to how we are living our lives these days. Shouldn’t we be living our lives where there is the least stress and there is the least depression if any, shouldn’t we be living our lives where we are happy and are spreading the act of happiness among each other, shouldn’t it be like this.

Why are we so stressed up, I think it is because we are unable to cope with the increasing burden on us and things are becoming more and more tough for all of us with time. Is it what we wanted for us? Are we happy with the lives we are living right now? Do you know what is happening to us, we are being taken away from our lives, we just roll on with the things of our day to day life and that is what is our norm, and we worry for the bills that we need to pay, we worry for the money that we are earning, we are worried on the credit money that we need to return, we worry if our house is fixed, we worry so much and this just makes us stressed and just makes us depressed so as to not making up the ends meet.

Have we asked ourselves as to where all of this is going to take us, it is just going to take us to a point where we will get sick and then everything will just turn to a disruption of the everyday life and this will just worsen the situation more. We burn ourselves everyday to make the ends meet and still we are unable to do that and that is so sad to know.

We just need to ease our depression off and we need to learn as to how we can make our lives less stressed so that we are able to get most out of our lives and find time to heal our souls rather than we just keep on burning ourselves every single day like we do by worrying and worrying, which just does not help us at all.

So think positive, feel positive and set a path in your life where even you are under severe stress, you must be able to deal with it in the coolest way possible, as it will help you to provide you and your family a positive environment to live your life in. Believe in yourself, you will be able to get yourself out of the miserable situation inside that you are in. Just pray and believe, you will find the way out.

How Depression Affects Teachers

by depressiondoctor on November 6th, 2006

In this fast paced world life is changing so fast, but there is one class or group of people who are living among us, who are constantly working to give the best of themselves to the communities they are living in. The group of people that I am talking about are the teachers that make such an important part of our society and it is they who are going through a lot of depression on a day to day basis.

First of all we need to ask ourselves as to whether we really understand and realize that the teachers of our societies and communities are going through such huge levels of depression. I know it is not right to look into any person’s life because it is their personal thing, but let us all dive in the lives of teachers for a while to see and understand that they are just like any other individual with a huge responsibility, as well as the responsibility of their current lives.

Teaching is a full-time job, which is the first and the foremost fact that we need to understand. In this article we are going to consider women teachers and will discuss on their life patterns that they go through every single day. When a teacher comes to a school, they need to be prepared in terms of what they are going to teach their students the next day. They go through the subject matter, read and make notes so that they are able to explain their students in detail regarding the different concepts and they have to design the different tests and have to monitor each and every child individually and make reports and communicate to the parents about how their children are doing.

I am just into explaining as to what the teachers have to do on a day to day basis, I might be missing a few things, but I believe that their job is a job filled with a lot of responsibilities and it is they on whose shoulders the future of a nation depends. This routine that is being discussed is what they have to do in the school and we can see that they have their own family lives and how stressed they are getting with this routine that they have to go through every single day.

Now when the school time is over, the teachers then come home, now they need to cook food, clean the house, help their children to finish the homework, do the dishes, bathe the children, attend the children from time to time to attend to their needs, keep the children calm, cook dinner, and prepare for the next day at school where they need to go through the books as to what are the different things they would be teaching their students and making notes of the important points and then when the kids go to bed, it is then the time for them to sleep so that they can have enough sleep.

These rigid routines in a teacher’s life can cause them to suffer from depression and make them feel really bad inside and it is our duty to encourage them and appreciate as to what they are doing. Believe me, teaching is not an easy job, it takes a lot of nerves to put discipline into children and teach them the values and knowledge. This is a very respectable profession and as a society we need to support them with everything that we can.

Do We Feel Each Other

by depressiondoctor on November 5th, 2006

Have we ever asked ourselves the question as to how we feel and how we make each other feel around us? I think we feel different at different times and there are very less times when we are feeling really good. We are mostly in a real stressed out feeling and we feel that we are being burdened so much about so many different responsibilities and things that are on us.

What happens when we are in a stressed out situation, we just pass on the stress to others and that is how things go. I think we are slowly and gradually turning into zombies where we are just living a life to achieve certain goals and that is all and while achieving those goals, which can be the duties that we have to perform in a day we are so tensed up that we start to pass on the same feelings to others and make them stressed too and they then pass on their stress to others.

Do we know as to where it is going to lead all of us, it is just going to lead us in a world that is filled with pain and misery, where there is no happiness, no fun, no pleasures in life, but just a constant feeling of stress and that is all.

Let me tell you of an event that I witnessed one day when I was in the bank where the senior employee talked to a senior employee in a very harsh tone and believe me or not that man who was being scorned just went into tears. It was then I started to think as to why this senior guy never cared for as to whether this is the right way to talk to his junior in such an environment where there are a lot of people around, did that senior feel for a moment as to what that guy would be going through, I think if he would have thought that then he would not have said to what he said and hurt the feelings of that guy. I was really shocked to see as to what happened and that really made me feel hurt.

I do not think that we feel each other, we just care as to how we feel and we do not care as to what are the different feelings and moods the other person goes through every changing minute. This is so strange. Aren’t we humans. I have seen in a lot of animal kingdom movies as to how the different species stay close together, though they have conflicts, but they stick to each other. It is their instincts, where are ours. Are our instincts to hurt people, make them feel bad, not to think about their feelings at all before even saying a word. I think this is really heartless. I think this is the worst part that we can see and feel being humans where people are just degrading the other humans without even giving a single thought. It is so sad and I am ashamed to be a part of a society where people do not care for others.

We see the degradation of humans at all levels starting right from children to the senior citizens, why. Is it right for me to ask my fellow country men as to why we are going through all these things where our sole purpose is to hurt others? I do not want to create any bad feelings inside you, but I believe in what I am saying. I am seeing the world changing so fast, the values are just sinking down, people are changing so fast and this is just leading us to the land of nowhere.

We need to feel each other and we need to pull each other out from the land of depressed and pull them out in the land of happiness and try to make it possible as much as we can. Believe me, we have very little time left in this world and one day we will not be here, so please let us help each other out.

What Gives Rise To Depression

by depressiondoctor on November 3rd, 2006

There are a lot of reasons that can account for the individuals to go through depression and since depression is just like a fire slowly eating out the people on the inside, we need to help and support these people who are suffering from them.

The reasons that can cause the development of depression include genetics, environmental factors, medical conditions, the crunching situations in life, financial worries, etc. There are a lot of other problems that are there that contribute to the development of depression and can be explored if a proper history of that individual is being taken.

It is a widely accepted fact that most of the qualities are being inherited from the genetic makeup that is being passed on from generation to generation and so is depression, but it is not necessary that the individuals who are going through depression definitely have that genetic makeup that accounts for their depression.

A major event or situation that causes people to go through depression includes the death of a close family member or a very close friend, which is a severe shock that an individual goes through and ultimately leads an individual to go through a severe depressive episode.

The environment of a home in which a family lives is a very important factor that can cause severe stress in the family members and if that stressed environment continues to gone, then it will not only put the adults in a state of severe depression, it will also cause the children to be under severe stress. This environment needs to be corrected as soon as possible because if it is not corrected then the children will be the major victim of such.

There are a lot of social conditions that have a very deep impact on our lives such as poverty, people who do not have any homes, who cannot afford for their medicines, people who are subjected to violence on a daily basis. There are a lot of people who are also going through a lot of other social situations where they suffer the bitter things and are greatly depressed. These are the people who need our attention and we need to care for them and help them with whatever resources we can.

Drug abuse is also a very major cause of depression. Alcohol and specific drugs causes chemical changes in the brain and thus result in the depressant effects. There are also medical conditions that causes chemical changes in brain that results in depression and when these medical conditions are treated or when the individual stops using the alcohol and drugs, the depression is usually relieved and the person returns back to their normal self.
