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. Felling alone and with this irreplaceable love that nobody can give you can really make someone feel depressed. Lack of love can be a trigger of …show more content…
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

Self-harm, or self-mutilation, is the intentional action of harming oneself, generally without the intent to kill. It is estimated that over two million people self-harm in the United States alone (Pomere). When involved with depression, self-harm is generally used as a method of coping with stress and various feelings that they may be having. If depression manifests with feelings of inadequacies, one could feel like they deserve to be injured (Bartha). Over time, the act of self-injury could become an addiction. It could become an obsession (Pomere).
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. Usually, the symptoms of an illness are...

Self-harm started to increase among teens in 2000; self-harm is when a person harms himself on purpose, whether by cutting their arms and thighs with razor blades or hitting themselves which might lead to broken bones later and some burn themselves also.

Some say that the teenage years are one of the most challenging and trying times in an individual’s life. Many changes take place, both emotionally and physically, which sometimes can give the feeling of excitement… or in other cases… complete confusion and utter turmoil. Because emotions tend to run high during this period of life due to hormones, some teens resort to an unhealthy way of coping to deal with their emotional pain. This unhealthy way of dealing with emotional pain is also known as self injury. Self injury (or self harm) is widely known to take place during the teenage years up until the early years of adulthood (ages 14-24)when judgments become more defined, criticism becomes harsher, and limits are tested. The transition from childhood to adulthood may sound exciting and adventurous to some, but to others, it’s a nightmare they wish they could wake up from.

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).
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 belief is changing one's thoughts will ultimately result in a positive change in their actions and behaviors (Goodtherapy n.d). The CBT styled approach will focus directly on the client?s relationship with their parent the first couple of sessions will be about the earliest memories of interactions with their parent. 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
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.
