It happened in my place here, a young wealthy doctor packed his jeep close to a lagoon and jump into the lagoon before people could rescue him he is dead already. It was said that, he did it out of depression. Many people have committed suicide because they feel depressed.I ask people who use that word, why are you depressed but most of them can't explain. Am really curious to know. Why are people depressed? What is really depression?

The intense sadness which lasts for many days or weeks and prevents you from living life is considered as depression. The younger generation are more prone to depression sadly.

@SirPeters Plenty of reasons. The new generation lacks good friends, as they are addicted with gadgets, they lack physical exercise as they rarely go out and play outside. They lack responsibility as they supposed to study and not responsible for any works. They lack guidance, as they are not finding time to pray or meditate. They eat junk food than healthy food. So if we search more, more reason can be find out. The absence of love and care as both parents may be busy with their own responsibility, Most of them are single child. The world become competitive and one has to try hard to come up to the level so the stress is also there.

Depression can be of many types. It comes when you think that you are worthy of something and don't get it. When you feel left out. When you have too many worries in your mind. It can also happen when you are too vain.

most people are depressed because they can no longer handle the sadness that life brought them. Sadness which remains unsolved leads to depression, I believe.
