The complex of depression tissue
Depression is a condition with multiple facets, and its origin is often unknown. Among the elements that contribute to this disease, anxiety and resentment emerge as significant factors. Anxiety, in particular, can become a constant companion, exhausting the individual to the extent that the mind is disconnected as a form of defense. This disconnect leads to a loss of the capacity of joy and connection with others, creating a sense of disappointment.
The emotional disconnection
With dominant anxiety, the tendency to isolate itself becomes a mechanism of survival. It is not that the person wants to be alone; Often, lack of emotional energy makes it a need. Even when we are physically present with our loved ones, we can feel distant and unknown. The interaction is reduced to a minimum, not due to lack of interest, but because of the inability to participate emotionally.
The internal struggle of resentment
On the other hand, the resentment towards the decisions we have made can also increase our dissatisfaction. Prioritizing work or personal success can lead to a distance from the closest relationships. By realizing that the search for success has not provided us with expected happiness, we are trapped in a vicious circle of frustration. The same frustration can be experienced when we have spent too much time the needs of others, leaving ourselves.
The invisible facet of depression
Contrary to the popular belief that depression is manifested only through crying or isolation, many people may seem happy and optimistic externally while fighting internally. This duality can make the loss of a life a surprise for those who see only the facade. The real battle is developed in silence, where negative thoughts and the sense of emptiness prevail, transforming into a struggle to sustain an image of joy.
Final reflections on mental health
Depression is, therefore, a complex phenomenon that is not always visible. Understanding this condition requires a deeper look than simple observation of external behavior. It is important to recognize that behind a smile there may be a world of pain and confusion. Mental health needs to be addressed with empathy and understanding, as each individual fights their internal battles in a unique way.
