It is estimated that 20 million people suffer from depression. Peace of mind in this world seems to be a thing of the past. This is not because, as some argue, our world has become such a stressful place, but rather, that we have forgotten how to take care of our mental health. Most people these days who are feeling depressed pop a pill, and never address the underlying thoughts and feelings that are causing their unhappiness in the first place.
In today's world, stress and depression seem to have become buzz words, especially among the youngsters. So much so, that the WHO fears that by 2020 depression alone will be the second biggest ailment in the world after heart disease. Most of the stresses are caused by low self esteem and fear of rejection. Accepting oneself and others as they are, is the fundamental behavioral change which can train youngsters to handle stress. All Is Not Well With Our Minds
It's pretty clear that our society as a whole needs self esteem help. It's time to stop masking the problem with drugs and address the real issues of who we are and what we need to be happy and healthy.
