My learning about depression/mental/health

Intro: Today, for health, I will be explaining to you about depression, and how it works and talk about its causes. I choose this topic because I want to learn more about depression and explain to you what I have learned about depression.

Depression:
Depression can begin at any age, from childhood, through to old age. Most often it starts in the mid 20s, and it is more usual in the 25 to 45 year age group. People with depression, often have problems like, Family issues, trouble with school, personality disorders, and may engage in careful self-harm.

How you know your feeling depressed
How you know if you're feeling depressed, is if you are feeling sad, and being over stressed over something. Kids mainly feel stressed when getting trouble from school, which could be bullying. Bullying is people who often try to put you down and be mean to you repeatedly. Also, some people get bullied online, which in fact is called cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is the exact same as normal bullying in person, but all the action is online.

What causes depression?
Depression is linked to changes in how the brain works. Many things can be considered as factors that make you vulnerable to depression……

These include:

1. Stressful times like, the break up of an relationship, or financial trouble.
2. A family History of depression.
3. Physical illness, such as a stroke or heart attack.
4. Stressful things that happened in the past can lead you into depression later in life.
5. Certain medication can cause depression in some people .
6. Having no friends or family around or near you.

How to manage stress:

In my opinion, how to manage stress is by using one of the areas of your Haora. One of them could be, your mental and emotional wellbeing. So you could try to control your emotions, by ignoring the people, and not letting them make you feel down. Also you can always talk to someone that you trust the most, and explain your emotions to them. 

Secondly you can build on your physical wellbeing by going outside and having fun, forgetting about those who run in your head often. Overall, don’t let them ruin the hard work you have done in your life, because people who make you depressed, don’t often see what goes on in your life time, so they will think it is ok to bully you. Also how to manage stress, is that you need to try to control your emotions with others. (For an example) If you are sensitive with your emotions, like if someone calls you one name as a joke, then you feel really upset, try to control yourself from being upset, cause that person obviously wants to make you upset, but don’t let people do that to you, because, it will break one wall of of your Haora, which will be Mental and Emotional wellbeing. 

Another way to stop this from happening to you, is get more physical and go to church, and pray to God that he may change your life, or change other peoples life, because thoughts like, wanting to commit suicide, is not what God wants, but one day, God will help you and heal you from all the bad things, to the good things, so try to keep in  touch with the Lord and Saviour. Also be kind to others, treat them the way you would like to be treated. If someone bullies you for being smart, help them out, also explain to them how you feel about them. Keep yourself in mind and forget about others. Overall, remember this, “Your mind, is the one that controls your feelings and what you want to do,” Because in some peoples mind, they think of comitting suicide which no one wants you to do or thimk about.
