A lot of people that suffer from depression keep it hidden and choose not to talk about, not me I'm quite happy to talk openly about because the more people you discuss it with the more people start to open up and admit they've suffered at times. wWhat makes me different from most is that Iv'e suffered with it all my life and it wasnt until a later age that I was dignosed with it and found ways around it, I'd always unbeknown to myself self medicated using art as dealing process which usually got me through it.
By a later age though it was a lot more intense and focused on ruining me, most people don't understand depression and the simplest form of explination I would say is that its "Rage turned inwards". There's mostly always a catalyst to a bout of depression and its usually something you choose not face up to or deny is actually happening to you thus you turn that rage on yourself and it becomes obsessionary, to the point where its all you can think about day and night.
This then results in a chemical imbalance within your brain you see the two main chemicals riunnung your day are Serotonin which plays a big part in your mood funtions of your brain melotonin which controls your sleep pattern. Once there is an imbalance within these chemicals coupled with a self destruction mode this can lead to depression. Most suffer in silence and thats a hard path to take because the consequences on the mind can be irreversable, I once sought medical help but was at first disgusted bty the way the doctor treated me which changed once i'd put him in his place so I don't blame people for being scared to seek medical help, all they do is push tablets at you and tell its all giong to be fine.
If you'd like me to talk more about this leave a comment
