M ain bhi depression se guzar rahi hoon. Main apni pyaari mummy ko khone

ke baad toot gayi hoon. Bahut baar normal hone ki koshish karti hoon lekin
baar-baar iss sach ko saamne paakar, ki main meri mummy ki awaaz nahi sun
paaoongi aur woh mere paas nahi hai, main aur bhi toot jaati hoon.

Main unko koi khushi nahi de paayi, yeh dard mujhe andar hi andar kha raha
hai. Mujhe kai logon ne bola ki main ek psychiatrist ke paas jaaoon but main
pagal nahi hoon, bas depression mein hoon. Main apni mummy se door hokar

bahut akela feel karti hoon.

I come from a family of police officers and I have seen them work in the

worst conditions and also miss attending all festivals, birthday celebrations,
weddings and even funerals. I have seen many of them often go into
depression. Being a doctor, I have conducted counselling sessions for them
and I hope that their working and living conditions are bettered as that will
have a direct impact on their mental health.

I have lost two of my friends due to depression. One slept on a railway track

and the other hanged herself. Before my friend slept on the track, she donated
her eyes. Her death was an unbearable loss for all of us. I think that all of us

feel depressed at least once in our lifetime. The reason can be serious or silly,
but it‘s important that we seek help and come out of it.
