Depression
“That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.” Elizabeth Wurtzel
I believe we are all prone to it. I believe that some people are more prone to depression than others but I don’t believe anyone is entirely exempt. I suppose it depends on many varying factors including our upbringing and our current situation in life.
The conditions that allow depression to thrive could be brought upon any one of us, anytime. If you are fortunate never to have experienced depression it is likely you’ve to know someone who has.
I’ve never experienced deep depression myself but I can certainly acknowledge that I’ve been depressed. In this episode, I felt the need to talk about this topic. It is said that 5% of the world’s population suffer depression and if we don’t talk about it and try to understand it, how are we able to resolve it. I am not an expert on depression but I’ve got a thought or two to share. I encourage you to leave your comments.
