How a Muslim Should Cope with Depression
By definition, depression is sadness, feeling down, having a loss of interest in the pleasure of doing daily activities.
For me, depression always leads to some kind of bad feelings, such as irritability and anger. The brain also 'talks' a lot and people who are depressed will tend to make the wrong choice. Eventually, he or she will irritate people especially the people who are close to him or her. The women also twice as likely to experience depression compared to the men, according to statistics.
During the depression cycle, even the slightest mistake or perhaps something that irritates a person with mental illness or depression will trigger great emotional despair which leads them to cry. As if all of the problems in life suddenly brought together in the person's mind, which boost the negative emotions. People who suffered from depression will then resort to retreat to their safe bubble, away from people. Perhaps one of the things that they can do is to focus on something so that all the 'talks' in the mind disappear for a while. For example, watching comedies, playing online games etc. they will try to avoid contact with another person as any conversation or question will only cause more pressure on them.
