RELATIONSHIPS AND DEPRESSION.

 

Depression is hurtful and sometimes hard, when someone is depressed, it doesn't only affect the person, it affects the people around the person too.

Relationships are fun, when there's understand and love between the two people involved, but when it's the other way. I mean when they don't understand each other but are blinded by the "Love" they have for eat other, there's are bound to arguments and that alone can cause depression.

Depression can affect someone at any age or season of life. If you haven't had depression before, you may not recognize it as a mental health disorder right away. Instead, you may attribute your mood to problems in the relationship.Depression can place a strain on relationships. It causes the person to behave in ways that stresses their partner and other relationships. For married partners, it can make them feel like their marriages are deteriorating. People living with depression are more likely to blame their partners when things go wrong or they may withdraw and not be able to talk about important things. Instead of reaching out and talking things through, they may shut down emotionally. This type of response usually sets off a reaction in their partner, which causes them to feel distressed and emotionally overwhelmed.

Here are some symptoms of depression to consider:

a. Sadness, hopelessness, low mood

b. Wanting to eat substantially more or substantially less

c. Not being able to sleep or wanting to sleep all the time

d. Not enjoying activities you previously did

e. Restlessness or fatigue

f. Thoughts of death or suicide.

Can Relationship cause Depression?

Well, I'm sure this question will get a Yes and No answer with a  80:20 percentage respectively.

But I as a person is agreeing to disagree.

Relationship can cause depression in most people and may not in other people.

Before someone can be depressed in a relationship, it'll be because of something the person has gone through at a point in their lives. Many people tend to get depressed when they loose someone they love, like parents, brother or a close family friend. Which might actually affect their relationship in many ways.

Relationship is meant to make you happy, love and care for someone, to not be selfish, which is the straight opposite of depression. When a person is depressed, he doesn't care about himself not to talk of caring about someone else.

Relationship isn't a cause for depression.

It's the real opposite.
