The loss of a family member could be one good example. It could be your mother or father or sibling or a really close relative. The absence of someone you love unconditionally would be really heart breaking. The loss of their company would bring loneliness into someone. Especially if you are around that person every day, knowing that they will not come back would be really hurtful. Even the thought of losing your mom or dad is very harsh. In some cases someone really close to you could pass away and maybe ya’ll where not so happy with each other. Having someone go way without working things out could bring a lot of depression into someone. One other good example could be a break up. We are human, we love its normal. Becoming attached to someone and then it ending is very heart breaking. It is like you become part of the other person. You learn every detail about them. You know each other secrets, fears, wants etc. Then it all comes to an end. The couple tends to go separates ways. What really hurts is that you guys become strangers however; you know everything about that person. That empty feeling triggers depression.

There are many cases where girls and boys hurt themselves because they are insecure about themselves. They feel too ugly or too fat. These kinds of people live in depression. They do not feel good about themselves. People like this tend to harm their bodies. The fact that they become depressed makes it even worse. One good example is Bulimia nervosa. It is an eating disorder where the person eats and tries to take it back as soon as they can. This is mainly caused by lack of confidence. The person probably feels like they are fat. Many other kids cut themselves due to lack of self-love. Another good example is if you are being bullied. Being bullied really hurts feelings it makes you feel like you are not good enough. There are tons of kids who are depressed due to the fact that they are being bullied constantly. Many times kids stay like this and do not speak up because they are afraid. However they are only making it worse. They live by depression every day. Anyone can stand up and put a stop to bulling. I’m very confident that if you put an end to being bullied you’ll also put an end to the depression you suffer. Depression can influence our actions. We must love our selves. God mad us all different but we are all beautiful in our own ways. We must love our bodies and treat them as

CBT is a compelling combination of?talk therapy?and behavioral therapy. CBT is a psychotherapy?in which patients transform?negative thinking patterns into positive thoughts.

The practitioner will ask the client how did their relationship with their parents make them feel was it a healthy relationship or would they have liked to make changes to their relationship? During the sessions, the practitioner will relate and or explain self-psychology?s tripolar poles from the information given to them by the client (if they apply). The purpose is to see if the client relates their childhood experiences with their early development as a child and interactions they had with their parents; to why they may have specific negative thoughts that contribute to their depression. Once they can identify the memories that affected them, they can begin to work on self-healing/soothing, by utilizing support groups, try solution-focused brief therapy, or
The exact causes of depression seem to differ immensely, but there are some who believe that it maybe caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, or that it may even be hereditary.

Depression is much more common than most people think. Because it is essentially an invisible illness and is largely in the mind, it is difficult to correctly diagnose it and most people suffer for months, years, or even decades with depression. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines depression as “a mood disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty with thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal thoughts or an attempt to commit suicide.” Most medical definitions are able to explain what happens and why it does, but after carefully examining this one, we only notice that it explains what happens, but not why.

No one is completely sure of what causes depression but genetic and biological factors play a significant role in its development. Like any other health condition, no one chooses to have depression. Depression is more than just having occasional sad thoughts. Clinical depression is different than being “depressed” due to some ups and downs in life. One of the most common myths about depression is that people who are depressed can ‘snap out’ of their depression.

As stated by Mental Health America, “according to a 2004 survey by the American College Health Association, nearly half of all college students report feeling so depressed at some point in time that they have trouble functioning, and 15 percent meet the criteria for clinical
There are several factors to what causes depression. Genes can affect the risk of depression. People who have had a history of depression in their family are at a much higher risk of depression. In fact, people who have a family member have a 2 to 3 greater risk of depression (Levinson). Siblings or children of people with recurring depression have run the risk of depression 4 to 5 times higher than the average person. However, people do not just simply inherit depression from their parents. There are a multiple genes that affect depression, and since each person has a unique makeup, depression isn’t just inherited. There are other factors too (Levinson).
Many teens and even adults who have been diagnosed with depression also struggle with self harm. Self harm by definition is the act of purposely harming the outside of one’s own body by means such as cutting or burning oneself as a way of coping with intense negative feelings. The behavior is not meant be be suicidal but can lead to accidental suicide if the injury is severe. However, there are many teens and adults who do self harm but are not depressed or have any mental illness. Instead they see self harm as a form of art. As stated in the article “Non-suicidal self-injury v. attempted suicide,”
Depression is a medical, mental disorder that causes a constant feeling of sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness. Depression affects how the person feels, behaves, and thinks. It also leads to emotional and physical problems. People with depression find it hard to go about their day-to-day activities. As human beings, many of us have encountered tough times in our lives, which caused us to feel “depressed”. While those feeling are short lived, people with depression will have feelings that are long lived; they will constantly re-embark on past negative situations and their feelings at that time. When people are severely depressed, they become a different person and their whole attitude on life changes dramatically. It’s a common but serious mental disorder that many unfortunately don’t receive help for because of the big stigma around the world. Because of the fact that many don’t get the help that they so desperately need, many turn to suicide or other life-ending, harmful situations.
