A STORY OF DEPRESSION- SUSHAN SINGH RAJPOOT

Depression, a word that has become one of the most commonly known mental illness around the globe, needs little or no introduction because of its abundant presence and the way almost every human being has to go through it. Depression is majorly said to happen when one starts perceiving cognitive distortions, relies upon past too much and starts thinking in a way that they find no escape from and feels like all doors have been closed upon them. There are many forms of depression, but dysthymia is one of the most common and most serious. It impacts how you feel, how you reckon, and how you behave. Luckily, it can also be fixed. Distress leaves you feeling sorrowful and lose interest in things you used to enjoy. This can cause a wide range of physical and emotional problems, and that it can make it hard for you to operate and live a normal life. It includes symptoms of sadistic mood, mood swings, loss of appetite which ultimately results in loss of weight, either feeling trouble sleeping or spending too much time sleeping, feeling exhausted, also including obvious physical effects as well such as shivering of hands, or feeling the urge to move around too much and not being able to sit still and concentrate, aspiring more social validation or acceptance and increased requirement of sense of belongingness, and in worst cases the suicidal thoughts. 

Talking about our concerned case, a renowned Indian celebrity named Sushant Singh Rajput, born and raised in India, had reportedly committed suicide in his apartment, aged 34. Major causes were reported as the experiences he had been facing at the time and that he was going through depression. Sushant Singh was one of the toppers of his board during his college says and had gotten acceptance into an engineering university on scholarship basis due to his phenomenal academic performance and had immense love for physics and inventions and graduated as the topper of his batch during his engineering degree. Sushant gained worldwide fame with his career as an actor for Bollywood industry. Depression can acquire any form and can occur due to any reason, even much bigger celebrities who have starred in Hollywood such as Jim Carrey also go through worst forms of depression. Regardless of a person’s social status, his income or any other metric of success, a person can become prone to depression where they get stuck upon certain aspect of life and find it hard to come out of those thoughts. Story of Sushant Singh alarms us about awareness of mental health and acceptance regarding talking about it that is direly needed which already is a stigma to talk about mental health. In a world of such rapid changes and growing number of innovations and with such hyper reality at one click’s distance has left most of people around the globe comparing themselves to other people who are super competitive and achievement oriented. These behaviours have left people emotionally distorted which further lead them into developing negative thoughts about life and ending up as getting depressed. A depressed person might seem like living a normal life and having a good time doing what they do in their regular routines, but have depressing thoughts in their solo time, which is the reason mental health advocates urge and campaign for the awareness of mental health so that people become aware of their surroundings and notice if their friend or peer is going through such thing and offer them a helping hand in order to ease their racing thought of depression. 

Sushant Singh was observed to live a normal life whereas reports say that he had been facing depression due to various unknown reasons. The death of young actor had become the talk of town ending up with people narrating different reasons for the cause of Sushant becoming depressed such as facing bullying in the industry and the decline of his career due to his personal conflicts with other industry dominant figures. The reasons yet are still unknown to the day as to what lead Sushant into depression and suicide but has become a lesson for us all to take care of the people around us and keep checking upon our friends and family if we notice any changes in their usual behaviours.

Obsession vs Addiction-How does it impact your mental health?

 

Obsession vs Addiction-How does it impact your mental health?

Obsession and addiction are two terms which are mostly confused with each other. If you ask someone what is the difference between two, they will always mix up these two terms. And majority of the people think that these two have similar meanings but in reality, they are two really different things. Let’s get into the meaning of these two terms.

Obsession is basically when your mind gets filled up by something or someone. You tend to think around that object or person. You can’t seem to help but have thoughts about those certain things. Now it may seem like these thoughts are troubling someone’s mind but if we look deeper in it, people start living their life around these obsessions they have. And they may be tiring for them but it can’t be helped.

In comparison, if we talk about addiction, addiction is some kind of escape our minds takes. A person tries different ways to go far away from the reality and becomes addicted to it. Because that person finds comfort in this escape. Not having to face the cruel reality can be a huge comfort but also too harmful for us because nonetheless we will have to face the reality in the end and that addiction will not let us face it. These addictions make a person weak because it makes us rely on something that is basically very bad for us.

Let’s assume that a person is not able to take his/her mind off from washing hands again and again. Even after washing hands for nth time, they still feel unhygienic and are not satisfied. This is the examples of obsession. Where as addiction is a situation where a person depends on something such as alcohol, drugs or even those things that may not seem harmful at first but can cause damage if excessively used.

Obsession is basically fear of something, a person is always concerned about certain things like blindly following superstitions, always thinking of ways to hide themselves or else they will do something shameful or will get insulted by doing something awkward. They constantly overthink over many aspects that seem like normal to everyone else. For example, normally people won’t be affected that much by seeing things out of order but someone who is obsessed with having everything organized in order will not be able to tolerate it for even a second because they are obsessed with having everything organized and in order.

Addiction can be also for many different things. People can get addicted to anything that helps them escape the reality or is some kind of external support to their minds. For example, many students get addicted to coffee or caffeine during exams season because it keeps their mind awake and they can focus more on their studies. Now this routine becomes so strong that even after getting what they want for that specific time, they can’t let go of that habit they developed during this time. This becomes so much difficult later on as your mind starts depending on that specific thins and you start using it excessively which can have a huge impact on their health.

These two terms are so confused with each other that we don’t even try to look for the facts and its impact on our mental health. They both are bad for us but they are treated differently. If we always confuse them, we will never be able to treat them correctly until and unless we get professional help. So, we should have at least this much awareness for such terms that we will not be affected badly with them. We should always try to educate ourselves for such minimal topics to avoid getting in their dangerous aspects. This type of awareness is very important for us, specially in this digital era where we have more exposure to everything, we also have accessibility to any kind of information. So, make sure to have some time to educate yourself for your own good.
