“Cheer up! Snap out of it! Get yourself out of those blues!” This may seem like an easy thing to do, but for some people with clinical depression it is not. “Depression is a serious medical illness; it is not something you have made up in your head. It’s more than just feeling ‘down in the dumps’ or ‘blue’ for a few days.” Medical depression isn’t just something you can just perk up out of. Depression needs treatment. There are also many other things to learn about depression.
First off, depression affects your mind and its chemistry. Certain chemicals control your feelings. When one is off balance there can be trouble. It is biological in nature. It isn’t just psychological. Messages aren’t transmitted by the neurotransmitters to the neurons correctly. This disorder can fog your mind like a storm cloud. Your mind can feel empty or like it is full of cotton. It is hard to concentrate and make decisions. Some people have a dull feeling in their head.
Secondly, depression can make your social relationships tough. No one likes being around someone who is always negative. Negative people can even make us feel bad. Another problem can occur with raising children. Parenting is hard enough; with depression it can be even harder. Parents with depression can be so consumed in their own problems that their children are neglected.
Thirdly, Depression causes physical problems. People with this blue mood can very easily be tired and have no energy all the time. Insomnia is also a problem. Depression may also lessen the amount of physical activity a person has.
This lack of exercise lets muscles get weaker. Some people eat more when they are depressed. This causes them to gain weight. Other people lose weight when they are depressed.
Fourthly, depression can hamper normal living. It used to be easy to get through work, do chores, and make dinner, but with being lethargic it can be a real drag. Family and friends can get very tired of trying to cheer the person up. The family and friend’s frustration can also cause conflicts between you and them.
Fifthly, depression affects your emotions. We all know sadness characterizes depression. Other emotions can also go along with depression. Anger, despair, and hopelessness can be in the combo. With this disorder we can lose joy and happiness in our lives. When one is depressed, weird things can happen with your emotions. Your emotions might be really extreme, very varied, or you might feel like your emotions are dead.
Lastly, symptoms of depression include the following: “Sadness, irritability, anxiety, a drop in grades, isolating oneself in one’s room, feelings of worthlessness, lethargy, and recurring thoughts of death.”
In Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory we find Charlie’s mom singing a song to Charlie. She vocalizes a song to him saying, “Cheer up, Charlie.” Charlie was sad over some of his circumstances. Although Charlie was just sad, “Each year over 17 million American adults experience a period of clinical depression.” Knowing that, we also know that depression affects your mind, body, emotions, and social relationships. Acknowledging that depression hampers your life and has specific symptoms is also valuable. Knowing all the facts, do you or any one you know have depression?"
