Recently, studies have shown how easy it is to fall deep into depression.
without much effort, one can fall into fatal depression and never rise except after several intentional efforts to pull out.
Depression is a major mental breakdown and capable of destruction without apology, only could be averted if adequate care is given.
There are several symptoms of depression that you should not ignore, These include
- Inferiority complex
- Frequent sad feelings
- Sleeping disorder
- Lack of focus ( always lost)
- Always wanting to be alone
- Loss of social interest
- Substance abuse
- Feeling of being the only one hated
- Suicide
These are the major signs of depression which I can say is the total heights height of mental breakdown. When you are experiencing these signs which of course is the height of it.
It is a call to see a therapist or any trusted person in your life to help you. At that stage you are vulnerable. And any thoughts of yours are not to be trusted.
You should not trust your judgment rather entrusts your safety to the hands of a professional and trusted person.
The good news is that depressions are highly curable; it is not a non-curable predicament as you may think, and it involves various thought processes.
Steps to get you out of depression.
- Reaffirm your love for yourself.
- Stay with cool friends!
- Don’t avoid socialization.
- Often tell yourself it’s a phase and that you will get over it, and yes you will.
- Stay much closer to your families.
- Do what makes you happy.
Look, it’s okay to have some “alone time” and sober reflection on your journey on earth, but don’t dwell on it for too long to avoid transitioning to depression.
One of the fastest ways to slide into depression currently and especially among gen z in comparison.
Comparing yourself with the achievement of others is just one of the fastest ways to kill you. You will stop growing if you compare yourself with others regardless of what it may be, ranging from career, marriage, wealth, the completion of who has the happiest life, comparing the social media growth of another to yours, or comparing the life of your ex to yours.
Maybe your ex got a partner, you will compare them from all angles, all these and many more add up to a mental breakdown. It will start with affecting your self-esteem and from there it will graduate to depression, and it will be really quick.
Let me tell you, having a life where you surround yourself with hopes that you will be better and get the desired materials you need/ want, you will get it.
However, I would advise as my reader, always be on the watch so you can know when you are already going overboard.

Looking at these young stars’ age, you will agree that they are all full of life and need proper handling.
