Depression is an important topic but sometimes difficult to discuss cos it's rarely recognized until it eats deep into the system.
What is DEPRESSION?
Depression is more than ordinary sadness. It is a health condition that can affect our emotions, thoughts, mental, physical health, relationships, and ability to carry out everyday activities.
A person with depression may feel that there is no hope, no purpose, or no reason to continue with life.
Depression is not weakness, laziness, or a lack of faith. It is a condition that deserves care and treatment.
As we all know, losing a husband or wife can be one of the most painful experiences in life. It can bring sadness, loneliness, fear, anger, confusion, and sometimes a feeling that life will never be the same again.
It is important to understand that grieving is normal. Crying, missing your spouse, feeling lonely, and having difficult days are all natural parts of bereavement.
But sometimes grief becomes overwhelming and develops into depression. This is why we need to recognize the warning signs and know when to seek help.
