CAUSES AND REMEDIES FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

 

According to the latest statistics of WHO  depression is a mental disorder and approximately 5% of the adult population is suffering from it since now.More women are affected by this disorder as compared to men.

   

Now adays anxiety and depression are very common in children as well. 
Here we shall discuss some common causes that Why with each passing day, depression and anxiety are becoming more and more common:-

1- Loneliness and Lack of communication with family and friends

We know that life has become so busy that everyone of us is completely involved in hustle and bustle of life. Money and materialistic goals have become major goals of our life. In search of our financial goals and luxurious life style we come far from our family and friends, emotionally. At this point our very close family members seem not to understand our emotions and slowly we getting lonelier and ultimately desperate despite of all goals achieved.

2- Lack of gratitude.

Another major and most important cause of depression and anxiety, is lack of gratitude. An old saying is that " The more gratitude you pay, the more blessings you get" but unfortunately we don't see the blessings we are having and don't feel that real sense of "being blessed".
Due to this lack of gratitude we ignore thousands of blessings around us  which causes humans to feel sad and depressed for no reason.

3- Unhealthy lifestyle.

Since the arrival of gadgets in our life, we have limited ourselves mostly to these gadgets and a comfortable life style in which we dont have to do much effort. Everything is becoming possible just with one click. Due to less physical activity and more mental activity, the natural balance gets disturbed and we get harmonal fluctuations that we name " mood swings" ultimately turns into depression and anxiety.

4- Being at distance from nature

In old times, people used to live near nature and that was a soothing and relaxing experience but now due to urbanization trends in many parts of the world we have moved far away from nature.

5- Work place environment

Our work place environment plays important role in our mental health. If the CEOs of the organizations are not equiped with the true leadership qualities , then employees will definitely be affected by the workplace environment.

6- Poor quality of personal relationships

One of the biggest reason that makes us depressed, is "our expectations from our loved ones". Which if not fulfilled, turn into gloominess and a sense of grief and loneliness.
End point is that if we improve all these aspects of our life, we can lead a happy and healthy life.
