Depression

The dictionary describes depression/as the state of feeling very sad, /anxious and hopeless. /The question here is/why one gets depressed./Is it the inability to deal with the situation/or the high stress levels/that come with success or failure ?

Life is full of twists and turns./Some are pleasant and some are not so pleasant, /and sometimes even terrible.

Seasonal changes are the main reason for depression in nature. /Change is unavoidable./It may happen in nature or in life. /But the way the change makes us feel is subjective?. /They differ from person to person, / along with the ways we deal with them.

Feeling depression is a normal phenomenon, /but letting it overtake us completely/is not the best thing. / There are no specific rules or concepts in dealing with it. / A person should adopt whatever way he or she feels/is the best, /but be sure it will not hurt another person.
