Dear Diana,

I am interested in your post because the problem you talking about in your post is very serious and made me think a lot. One thing you said out for me is ” A Lot of people suffer from depression just because of life in general or there going through stuff at home.” I think this is a very important issue, because around years, more and more minors choose suicide by stressful or family issue.

Your writing reminds me of sometimes that happen one me. One time, my the son of my mom’s friend get suicide because he was stressful in college. I went to his funeral, his mom are crying all the time. I am so sad for his death, but I also think an other question, why he suicide. Even I know he got suicide by depression now, but same like all the minors, we always worried about theirs feel.

Thanks for your post. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because we has same thought of a lot issue, we can see the problem in same way.

Hi Diana, I am glad you chose depression as the topic because one of the first steps to helping solve the problem is by diagnosing and talking about it. In order to diagnose a disease, you must be aware of the symptoms. Mental health is less-talked about than physical health, so the symptoms are not as noticeable. Your question intrigued me, “How do people handle their depression?” because it is something I want to understand better because some of my friends have gone through it. I believe that if we understand it better, than less people will face it and help will be more readily available and efficient. This post is just one step towards the right direction! I look forward to your next writings.

Diana,
I have had several close people in my life commit suicide and I have often wondered the same thing, what causes depression. I think there are many contributing factors that leads a person to take their own life. Here’s an article by Harvard Medical School that may give you some more insight https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/what-causes-depression. Suicide is unfathomable and I think it’s important to know how to treat and handle depression, along with knowing their causes. Always remember that you are loved and can’t wait to hear form you again.
