A little bit more on depression
Meet A today; she came down to the Londres.
Talk about depression. I was at loss of words when she said she doesn't really get it why people have depression. Lack of social network? I don't think I explained it properly to her. Mentions that we medics should know how to tackle it before it began.
Now when words start flowing....
Depression - a hideous nasty feeling. The feeling of sheer emptiness +/- loneliness that even when you are laughing with your friends, it echoes so loudly it makes you feel very hollow from within. It is an almost unreachable inside. You don't even know why it's there. Sometimes, you wish life is taken away so you no longer able to feel. It takes time for the feeling to go away.
Probably it is better if we (friends,family,health professionals) don't ask why, but how are you feeling? Trying to reach out is a million times harder than to offer help.
