'' 'DEPRESSION -*STUDENTS*- 

DEADLINES' ''

ONE VERY MAJOR WORRY in the entire world, in most of the developing world would be and should be : Understanding depression among students / youth...............

One of the most common youth  problems today is depression which is killing the abilities of the young generation and sadly and generally we tend to ignore it.

'' THE WORLD AT LARGE has the highest potential in students / youth, and so the society and the world must have the courage to change..............
Old ideas and practices so that - The world has the honor to direct their power toward good and great ends''.......... - Mary Mcloed Bethune.

The greatest wealth and strength of any nation is its students/youth. They are the powerhouse of  a country. Thus, if we want to ensure a  bright and a shining future for any country, first we have to strengthen and empower the  students/youth.

We have to solve all the issues they are facing in their very dear lives.

One of the most common  youth problem today is ''depression'' which is killing the abilities of the world's younger generation and we generally tend to ignore it. Meanwhile, our students/ youth has become more depressed than ever.

According to the latest research from the World Health Organization [WHO] , the chances of depression are higher amongst girls/women { 5.1 % } than men { 1.6% }. Let's take the example of a developing world country, say Pakistan.

Pakistan is one of those countries where stress, anxiety and depression are at their very peak.

According to Dr. Iqbal Afridi, the President of  Pakistan Psychiatric Society and the Head of Department of Psychiatry at Jinnah Post Medical Complex, ''one out of every three is suffering from these curable diseases.''

Students / youth make up about 34% rater of the total population of this country and according to research depression affects 15% adults  every year.

Depression is a state or period of time which involves the body mood and thought that makes anyone feel sad, helpless, hopeless and worthless.

It is a serious medical illness that affects how you feel, the way you think, and the way you act. It can attack anytime, people of all ages, from all walks of life, bust mostly appears during the teenage.

According to Dr. Tania Nadeem, a psychiatrist at Aga Khan University Hospital [ AKUH ], ''Teenagers  suffer from major depressive order which can range from mild to severe levels. It results in lack of concentration, academic decline, reclusive behaviour and at times suicidal thoughts.''

Depression maybe the reaction of any loss, relationship problems, death of a loved one, failure in love, long illness, financial issues, personal conflicts or any inner complex.

These all may lead to serious mental problems which totally damage a person physically, mentally and emotionally. A person who is affected with frustration and depression feels sadness, loneliness and grief.

Depression can lead to suicide, now the second leading cause of death among 15 to 20-year old people.

''Now matter how bad things are right now. Now matter how stuck you feel. No matter how many days you've spent crying and wishing things were different. No matter how hopeless and  depressed  you feel, I promise you that you won't feel this way forever. Keep going,''...... Hellen Wilson.

The basic treatment of this depression and anxiety is through medication and therapies. But in this whole process of treatment the family, especially parents, should understand and treat the frustrated person according to the situation, otherwise it will create inferiority complex among youth which can damage their skills.

If you are feeling stuck in depression, increase your social connections, and don't hesitate to talk with any trusted  person who may belong to your family, relatives or close friend. The teenagers must be told that they are not alone.

Treatments of depression is a time taking process and sometimes it might feel frustratingly slow.

So don't worry as recovery usually has its ups and downs. Change your lifestyle, eat healthy diet, do exercise and and the most important weapon of treatment is to think about the bright side of life. It may set your tension free.

''If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.''......Stephen Fry.
