What is depression?

Depression is currently one of the world's fastest growing illnesses. The WHO estimates that 1 out of 5 Indians will suffer from depression in their lifetime, yet most of us are unaware of what depression really is and frequently confuse depression with sadness.
If you are currently experiencing depression or know someone who does, reaching out for help and support is the first step. Always remember #YouAreNotAlone®

I think it’s hard for people who r depressed to even realize that they r depressed and that it is an illness

This is such an amazing initiative. In countries like UK employees and the general public too are informed about the importance of mental heath. But I believe this is uncommon in countries like India to even talk about mental health as people will call you crazy behind your back. Deepika is really generous in raising this and spreading a word by supporting this organisation. Kudos to Live Laugh Love!

I m suffering from depression. But I learned to manage it. But I have seen many symptoms of this in my younger brother, he has no purpose to live.
I myself had been through this. I fear for him. Whether he will be able to manage it or not. What should I do? I also fear that after talking to parents, they will take him and I to the doctor, this may further worsen the condition..I don't know whether he will take it positively or not...and how to make him comfortable..I have no clue.

I can't feel anything? Anger, happiness, mercy i don't have desire to live anymore and its been 1 year to me since its hapoening with me after steroids, i have gone to endocrinologist, urologist everywhere but nothing could help!!!!
I want quality of life, if life is short it should be good and meaningful! I want to live a meaningful life, i don't want to live this way am living right away!
It should end anyhow even if it ends on my death i am happy but it should end!
Because i am not able to handle this everyday seeing myself like this is hell!
I am living hell!
I don't talk to anyone i am isolated bcz now don't want to spread negativity! Its hell! I can't feel am emotionally numb!
