Major depressive disorder is a widespread and serious mood disorder. According to the World Health Organization, 264 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with depression. Certain life stressors like bereavement, relationship problems, bullying, and genetics can contribute to depression. Left untreated, depression can lead to harmful behaviors and increased risk of suicide. While seeking help was once seen as shameful, it is actually admirable to acknowledge one's needs and get therapy. Therapists can help organize negative thoughts and redirect one's life in a healthier direction.depression.pptx

1) Social networking has become obsessive for many as they constantly check platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp to keep up with friends and compare their lives. This leads to stress and anxiety as people fear their lives are less interesting than others.
2) Adults also feel pressure to conform to social norms online and keep up appearances. What others like and own on social media acts as a gauge of social acceptance.
3) Some become so concerned with having more online friends and followers that their real-life relationships suffer. While social media allows feeling connected, it is not a substitute for meaningful human interaction, which is important for well-being.Bully or victim

Bullies are often acting on instructions from authority figures and should not solely be blamed for their harmful actions. Research shows that children are taught to obey authority even when instructions are morally wrong. Bullies frequently come from environments where violence is modeled and accepted as a way to get what you want. Rather than dehumanizing bullies, it is important to examine where their behaviors stem from and what can be done to help change their self-concept and relationship with the world. Both victims and bullies need guidance, as bullies are also victims in many cases and must be part of the solution through education on healthy coping mechanisms and being given real choices.Death in the schoolyard

Bullying is a serious problem that can have lethal consequences, such as teen suicide. Bullying involves abusive behavior where one or more students physically or psychologically intimidate another student, causing the victim to feel isolated. Victims of bullying often experience depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety that affects their school performance and social development. Left unaddressed, bullying can even lead to suicide in some cases. Parents and teachers need to be aware of the signs of bullying and intervene to address the problem before it causes lasting harm to students.Down in the dumps or depressed-

- 2. Depression is a common problem for people across the world. About one in 10 South Africans suffers from depression although only about a quarter ever seek or receive treatment. Sooner or later, everyone gets the blues. Feeling sadness, loneliness or grief when you go through a difficult life experience is part of being human. Most of the time, you can function normally and you feel that you will get through it. But if feelings of sadness, hopelessness and isolation persist or if they start to interfere with your sleep, relationships, work and recreation, it may be something more than just a down day. Feeling constant fatigue or worthlessness, or experiencing weight changes along with your sadness can be signs of depression, says psychologist Dr Colinda Linde. There are some things to be aware of when you are feeling blue warning signs that this may be more than feeling down for a day or two. Depression checklist Your thinking patterns If you are thinking more negatively than usual, you may just be having a rough day. But also take a look at how your thoughts are affecting your decisions and your view of the world and the people in your life beyond that day. Negative thoughts can lead to trouble-making decisions, confusion or forgetfulness. Just a day or two of this doesnt mean that you have depression. But if these patterns continue or if your thoughts turn suicidal, seek help right away. Your feelings You can feel sad or negative without having depression. Be honest with yourself. Are you feeling mildly sad or let down, or are you feeling hopeless and helpless? If you are feeling overwhelmed with emotion and have a negative or sad mood that others can sense, its time to seek help, says Dr Linde. If someone notices that you are down, that doesnt automatically mean you have depression. But someone seeing emotional fluctuations and behaviour changes for several weeks may indicate depression. Your behaviour Sleep disturbances and appetite changes are hallmarks of depression. A night or two of disrupted sleep or eating isnt necessarily a big deal. But if this continues and makes life even more difficult than it already is, you may need to talk to someone about whats going on. If youre not sure whether there is a problem or not, try doing something that will change your mood, like going for a walk or talking to a friend. Do something that you think will likely help you break your negative mood and thinking patterns. Sometimes, just getting distracted and out of your own head can change the course of your day, says Cassey Chambers from the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG). Chances are that you have probably done these things at one time or another. If it works, youre probably just having a rough day (or week) but youll bounce back and be your usual self. If, however, you find that these things dont work and you continue to feel these symptoms for two weeks or longer, you may be heading into a depressive episode. Still not sure? It may not always be easy to tell the difference between a run-of-the-mill bad mood and depression. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, people who are depressed have symptoms that interfere with their work, daily activities or social life. If you have five or more of the following symptoms for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, and We all have days when we want to hide under the covers and wish the world would leave us alone. But when a bad day turns into a bad month, its time to take a closer look at your mood By Janine Shamos HEALTH INTELLIGENCE | 41
