...the strong, weak, and smart. We can not fathom the amount of destruction depression creates, and when it leaves, it leaves a permanent mark, that can never be healed in full. Many clients I have talked to and communicated with have greatly shown improvement, but none, not even one! Has shown full recovery, its like braking a pristine glass vase into a million pieces, and after you attempt to glue everything back together, it will never be the same .
This directly correlates to depression, as it will take you, tease you, and finally destroy you to either leave you broken or hopefully get glued back together in order to attempt to live a normal life. One must make the best of their life and do their best to respond to it and change it for the best. As Dorothy M. Neddermeyer said, “Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to it.”
Depression shifts ones focus off the necessity to belong in life onto the thinking one never can.
The authors of the four memoirs overcame their childhood obstacles by going through an emotional and thought changing experience. Gary Soto accepted his family’s history of working in the fields. Laurence Yep had a self-esteem boosting experience with his father. Barack Obama had his father speak to him at his class. Julia Alvarez realized she was moving for her family’s safety. The authors of memoirs describe overcoming their obstacles to teach readers that anything is conquerable.
...ard work, and perseverance. The list of successful individuals with depression extends on and on and there are probably many more people who had amazing accomplishments who were never diagnosed that displayed symptoms of depression. And as Friedrich Nietzsche, a successful German philosopher diagnosed with depression, once said, “to live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.”

It is known that depression is a growing issue, but the question is why it is continuing to affect more and more people, specifically students. It is difficult to pinpoint a specific cause when there are so many theories as to what exactly causes depression. Some argue that it is genetic while others say it is a result of too much stress. This is not to say that there is only one cause of depression, but there has to be a reason why the number of depressed students has been increasing in the recent years.

Every time someone mentions mental illness, many things come to their mind. One of the many mental illnesses known worldwide and one of the most common is mental depression; although it is common not many people know much about it, besides the superficial information. Depression is one of the oldest mental illnesses, dating back to ancient Greece (Fava, M., & Kendler, K.S.) Depression is more than just being upset; it is a major illness everyone should know more about. It has many names such as Depression, Major Depressive Disorder, Clinical Depression, Chronic Depression, etc., that sound similar; because of the different names people assume there are different. There are different types of depression, but they all fall under the same criteria.
Depression is one of the most widespread mental disorders globally, affecting more that 350 million people of all ages. It is characterized by disturbed sleep, loss of appetite, sadness, poor concentration and feelings of guilt. There are various types of depression which are long lasting, and other types which are constantly reoccurring (World Health Organisation , 2012). Severe symptoms of depression that inhibit the ability to work, sleep and eat is categorised as major depression, this form of depression can occur once in a lifetime, however in some circumstances it may occur more often. Persistent depressive disorder can last up to 2 years; symptoms may resemble major depression along with episodes of less severe symptoms. Psychotic depression is a form of severe depression when a person begins to hallucinate and have delusions. Postpartum depression is experienced by women after birth, physical and hormonal changes can lead to depression. Seasonal affective depression (SAD) usually occurs during winter due to less sunlight. Another major type of depression is bipolar disorder which is categorized as changes in mood, for instance extreme high moods to extreme low moods (National Institute of Mental Health, 2011). The prevalence of depression was analysed in 8449 individuals aged between 15 and 40, results showed that depression was commonly found in white males and females than in black and Mexican male and females (Stephanie et al, 2005).
Depression is a mental health condition which is widely recognised as one of the most common conditions for which people seek and receive care. There are many specific nursing problems which are encompassed by the medical term “depression” and these include physical, cognitive and behavioural patterns. Successful treatments of depression are psychosocial interventions which aim to identify and challenge a depressed persons pessimistic attitudes and beliefs and which promote an individuals’ participation in rewarding activities in an attempt to reduce any negative behaviours. The aim of this essay is to identify specific nursing problems which are encompassed by the term “depression” and relate these to a patient whom the author had met whilst out on clinical placement who had been given a medical diagnosis of depression. It is also the aim of this essay to discuss different psychosocial interventions and how effective these are in assisting a patient in their road to recovery.
Regardless of the person whether male or female who has developed the symptoms of depression, their lives have been invaded by a sickness that can have a devastating effect on their lives; depending on how severe their symptoms are. If left untreated the end result could have an even more devastating effect. Luckily, there are treatments available that are successful.
I fought a war with myself and I am so proud to say that I am still standing here today due to my perseverance. I recognize that depression was a significant part in my life that shaped who I am now. I know that because of it, I am more careful in the words choose, I pick up on emotions easily, I know how to console people, and the list goes on. Despite depression being a major part of my identity for 15 years, I am proud to say that I am journeying through my life finding who I am without it. I plan to do all the things I said I couldn’t: Graduate high school, get my college diploma, find a job, and find my
