Visitors| I think some people have the wrong attitude about depression and really don't understand it. Depression is nothing to be ashamed of unless you don't seek treatment for it. Family members should be supportive of one who is dealing with depression and try to learn as much about it as possible. There are a lot of things that can lead to depression in a person's life. My mother suffered from depression and my father was not supportive of her during her time of need. I think that was why she was never able to fully get back to her normal self and enjoy life like she should have. Now that I have been dealing with my own issues I think I better understand how she felt and what she was really going through. You can get yourself back on track and enjoy life to the fullest. I can say that my husband is very supportive of me through this time of my life and I am very thankful for him. Talking to a therapist has really helped me sort a lot of things out in my life. I just think that people need to understand depression before they judge a person for trying to get their life on track. |
