A lot of people don't realize that depression is an illness. “I don't wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.” To many people don’t think they can be affected by because they do not see that this is important because no matter the age sex, race, everyone in a lifetime has to fallen into depression. Many think depression is not a serious problem but in reality it is no one wishes for someone to fall into depression because depression can can lead to serious problem in life, and that one problem is suicide. People with a severe state of depression commit suicide because they don’t know what else to do, they just decide to take the easy way in life. Depression is a serious problem experienced in the USA caused by emotional problems, depression between men and women, lack of jobs, and economic status.
“Depression is a medical illness that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Depression can cause physical symptoms, too...it affects how you feel, think and behave. Depression can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and depression may make you feel as if life isn't worth living... depression isn't a weakness, nor is it something that you can simply "snap out" of...But don't get discouraged.” People suffer from depression they need someone who can help them think positive and to let them know its worth it living because everyday people learn new things and everyday things change. People who suffer from depression need to know they can find the help everywhere they go not only the help but the love to. Depression affects everyone no matter what. If there is no help provided for the people who are suffering from depression how will they get out of depression vanish? The people around them might as well also be affected by depression.
“Depression can strike anyone regardless of age, background, socioeconomic status or gender. However, in any given year, 12% of women (nearly 12 million women) in the United States are diagnosed with depression compared to 7% of men (over 6 million men)”. This is important because it shows that women are more affected than men when it comes to depression it seems that women are more weaker than men because the percentage of men its a small percentage compared to the one of women percentage. Men are also affected by depression but hard for them to accept the reality many men fall into depression because of the lack of money and jobs. ”Research at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) on depression awareness has shown that ...depression in men can present itself differently than in women. Men are more likely to acknowledge fatigue, irritability, loss of interest in hobbies, sleep disturbances, and discouragement, rather than feelings of worthlessness or guilt. Men depression is more often masked by alcohol or other drugs, or by the socially acceptable habit of working excessively long hours. Even if a man realizes he is depressed, he may be less likely to seek help...Men may fear that being labeled with a diagnosis of mental illness would cost them the respect of their family and friends”. This is important because it shows that its more hard to find out if a men suffer from depression because they worry to much about other people finding out their state. Men have different depression symptoms to the one women have. Many men don't go for a check-up because men always have play the role of a strong man and many men do not accept the reality that they have depression because they worry they can lose family and friends respect and or be label by society as a mental problem.
Many Women and Men are affected by depression because the lack of jobs . “Losing a job and being out of work is downright depressing”.This is important because depression is being experience by men and women because the lack of jobs . U.S. had a big role to play on people depression in this case because the lack of jobs people are falling into depression because if people don’t have jobs equals no money for them to support them to support the people who they have to support . people need jobs so they can have money otherwise people just sit home and think about what they need and can’t get because the lack of money and them by just thinking they can;t get what they need they fall even more into depression. “In today’s economy ,it’s easy to dismiss unemployment as a problem of the past employment figure in the United States are strong. Working people numbered 134.1 millions as of November 1999”, according to reports from the Bureau of labor Statistics in the U.S.Department of Labor. The unemployment rate for the same month and year held steady at just 4.1 percent”. is important because the U.S. is suffering from economy and many people are falling into depression and studies had proven that economy it’s basically the same right know as 1999 percentage of unemployment people is being compared because it seems the percent its increasing every time more and more .This is important because the lack of money is making loosing homes and not able to support their families because of the lack of money and jobs. Depression because the lack of work and money . “Unemployment compensation did not report that they were any more depressed than the employed.But unemployed people who did not receive unemployment compensation or who received only welfare were more likely than employed people to say they were depressed,even after researchers controlled for total household income and length of unemployment”. This is important because yet people who receive welfare did not receive compensation which it makes it even harder for them to pay home bills and and other material they need if people don't have jobs and just have the help of the government yet they don't have everything they need and fall into depression because the lack of jobs and many and many people just decide to commit suicide because they can’t handle life no more. Many people fall into depression because they do not have a job but also losing their homes which it makes them even fall more into depression. “Millions of Americans have lost their homes.The unemployment rate is stuck at 9.6 percent.And a record number of people are relying on food stamps.” This is important because this proves that people are depressed and because their depressed and have no jobs people are loosing their homes and rely more on food stamps which it makes them fall even more into depression.”Economic anxiety,voters were ready to punish incumbent lawmakers of both stripes for joblessness, rising deficits and government spending,and the Wall Street bailout that began under Bush”. This is important because because this proves that the job opportunity for people are increasing every time more and more . People who in reality fall into depression have no option and decide to take the easy way and commit suicide because they don't see no other way to come out of this problem.
People falling into depression population it’s increasing every time more and more. “Women and children represent seventy -five percent of the U.S.population consider poor. Low economics status brings with it many stresses,including isolation ,uncertainty ,frequent negative events ,and poor access to helpful resources.sadness and low morale are more common among persons with low incomes and those lacking social report”. This is important because yet not only grown people are suffering of depression but also young people and kids for example if mom or dad does not have money and kids want something and parents always tell him or her no because they can’t afford it the kid it’s going to fall into a depression because it every time they go out and he has the same answer from mom and dad not only the kid but parents too might fall into depression because of this situation that they cant get what the kid wants at all. Depression its affecting everyone, “Depression ,the question was whether Barack Obama could rally the nation behind him and emerged as a historic leader,or weather the crisis would destroy him altogether”. This is important because it seems that Obama does not know how to control the loss of jobs and he does not care the number of people who are falling into depression every time more and more and its important for him to know that many people are committing suicide because the lack of money and jobs. People could have better days without depression if Obama works on offering more jobs and helping people with what ever they need because yet he helps people with food stamps but people still have things to the side that they have to pay and sometimes many people do not know what to do ta get the money and pay the money that they need. “I can’t stop the war ,I cant save the sons and daughters,I cant change the world and make things fair”.This is important because it shows that Obama being the president cant make things work out it seems that he does not know what to do with his own life .How can he something like this he might not think that by this words his affecting the family of the people who have committed suicide because the lack of jobs and money .He can also be pushing people to fall into depression with the words he say that he cant save those in war or that he can’t make things fair in the world .He shouldn't be called a president because the percent of people falling into depression its increasing since his being president.
