in #health6 years ago
Depression is a state where an individual is always sad, have no interest in things and always thinking. Depression can come up as a result of bad or difficult life circumstances, stress death of a loved one etc. If depression is left untreated can result in varieties of consequences which will briefly be discussed.

One of the most delicate consequences of depression if not treated is suicide. Many people who are depressed are always having the thought of committing suicide because they think that's the only way to escape their current situation. But that's a lie, there are many ways to escape all situation of life and get better.

Some people when depressed, get so addicted to hard drugs and alcohol. But what they don't know is that the combination of depression with hard drugs or alcohol will only make things worse. Some depressed people also go to great lengths of inflicting life-threatening injuries on themselves which could lead to death.

People with depression should not be left alone and should consider taking very good care of themselves also. They should always bear in mind that depression can be treated and all the briefly discussed consequences above should not be an option.
