Over the weekend I was watching the news and they talked about a lady somewhere in Lagos who committed suicide because she was in debt and she had nothing to pay back her debt, she probably had thought about it and the shame that comes with not being able to pay back debts, she probably felt she doesn't even have money to feed herself and children, she probably had a lot of things running through her mind. After I heard this news I got weak and really sad knowing there are better ways of handling issues of this nature better than just committing suicide and ending ones life.


So many people after losing someone really close to them, sadness, Depression and frustration creeps in and they just wish there is somewhere they could run to or someone that would just erase the memories they have of the person, some other people just live in denial.


We live in a nation where there are about 1.5 million cases of depression per day. Depression is a consistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest that can lead to a range of behaviour and physical symptoms which include mental stress. Psychologists made it clear that depression is not just a physical problem its mental. Depression is more deadly than it seems but even at this, it is treatable and can be recovered from with time. Depression kills really fast, even faster than some deadly diseases, and people who have some of this "deadly" diseases die faster due to depression.


The cause of depression may vary, some which include;

1. Low socio-economic status
2. Low self-esteem
3. Loss of a close relative or property
4. Violence (physical, sexual, emotional)
5. New mothers (postpartum depression)
6. Could be hereditary
