Depression is a DISEASE! It is a disease that makes your life living hell. Not physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. Depression is not the state when someone looks sad. It’s when someone smiles when he wants to cry. It’s when you want to be alone, but you are surrounded by the people. It’s when you want to sit quite. It’s the moment when you starts shivering unnecessary & go through an unpleasant emotion. It’s when you stuck at something and try harder to move on but you can’t. It’s when you want to sleep but you aren’t able to do that. It is the worst phase of life. You always try to get out if this phase but you are not able to do that. You want somebody to just hold your hand and make you out of this situation. Depression is a severe problem. You never know from what problem does the other person is going on. So never judge anyone because you don’t know their story behind the smile.
