But is this all there is? NO. People with depression interact with the world differently. The reality is that these symptoms have significant impact on their daily lives anything from running errands to surfing social media to even aiming for a peaceful sleep every night.
How can we control these emotions? Can we tell someone? No. What if they judge us? but what if they don’t? How about going for a psychological counselling? They will listen to all your emotions, feelings, sorrows. Or talk to someone you can trust with all your secrets, if not human talk to your pet. Just let it out, don’t let it hold you back. You have the power to fight these emotions, they don’t hold you down.
Why should we bury our feeling inside of us with the help of a pill? Is that legible? You choose. The research done by the University of Chicago called “Study finds Anti- Anxiety drug limits rats empathetic behavior”. The group of rats who were not given the anti- depressant drugs were more likely to help and free trapped companion rather than the group who were given drugs. “The rats help each other because they care,” said Peggy Mason, professor of neurobiology. “Helping others could be your new drug. Go help some people and you’ll feel really good,” Mason said. “I think that’s a mammalian trait that has developed through evolution. Helping another is good for the species.”
