SUICIDAL TENDENCY AND DEPRESSION

Recently, some upcoming reports exist to inform us of an increase in a huge number is suicidal tendency in India. We need to understand what is causes why it is an increase in and how to fight.

First of all, what is suicide? 

SUICIDE- suicide terms originate from a french word which means intentionally kill yourself.

SUI means intention and CIDE which means kill.

suicide are many types such as-

 ETHUNESIA

THOUGHTFUL SUICIDE, ALTRUISTIC, RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL CAUSES

and last not least DISTRESS OR DEPRESSION

India has allowed passive euthanasia, not active euthanasia but it is a very debatable topic in legal terms 

article 21 right to life so why not right to death etc but in the Aruna Shanbaug case, the supreme court allowed passive euthanasia in India

THOUGHTFUL SUICIDE  means kill yourself for any thought.

ALTRUISTIC SUICIDE-  an altruistic term from sociology which means kill yourself for others( self less)

SOCIAL CAUSES- unemployment, love affairs, drug abuse, marital affairs, dowry etc.

let us example a few years ago the owner of the CAFE COFFEE DAY (CCD)  company committed suicide and he was approx 60 years old. so the fact is Why would the owner of such a big company commit suicide?

if we see the data we know the tendency of suicide is less in poor or tribe people as compared to a rich family so, there is no financial stress of suicide is understood here.

let us one another example a few months ago Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput(SSR) committed suicide. SSR brought a very good rank in his engineering entrance exam,  which means that his IQ level was good. So, can those who have a strong brain or IQ level avoid depression? what could be the reason behind his suicide?

one American actress Marilyn Monroe committed suicide at the age of 36 she was the most famous star worldwide and also know as barbie girl.

ROLE OF SOCIETY

 

Some people think that the reason for suicide is just personal psychology but I do not believe it to be completely true.

society makes a large role to increase and decrease the tendency of suicide because 

 When society goes through a phase of change, then the suicide rate increases, it happens till the society comes to a stable state.

DEFENCE MECHANISM

 Nowadays Indian society is going through a rapid change, obviously, some big changes can also be seen at this time, of which. the practice of giving lots of caress to children is to develop which undermines the child's self-defence mechanism 

Later on, this child is not able to cope with his small failure or rejection and takes some wrong steps.

 

DISTRESS OR DEPRESSION 

Distress or depression means the feeling of darkness, hopeless, helpless, sadness etc. and lack of participation in activities and this is a psychological disease and the causes of a large number of suicidal cases worldwide. There are some feelings 

SADNESS-feeling of sorrow

HOPELESS- Don't expect anything good to happen.

HELPLESS- Feeling lonely

SADNESS-being sad

  

WORTHLESSNESS- the feeling of no value in life

In medical terms, This is the psychosomatic problem which means which starts with the mind and then dominates the body

All this is due to the unbalanced secretion of hormones. (serotonin hormone, dopamine hormones, endorphins hormones etc)

SOME OTHER CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

 EMOTIONAL- Because of loving someone so much and he has now rejected you or gone away or he has died. etc means got away from you for some reason

This very high level in today's generation. The one who will be dependent on the other will suddenly start feeling lonely and the chances of going into depression will increase.

 

PHYSICAL - go into depression due to health

SOCIAL PRESSURE- Pressure from family or society etc 

There are some parents who could not do in their life, they impose the desire on the children.

Forcibly trying to control child's behaviour, etc 

We want the child to study us well. When he learns the books and tries to get him into his life, then the parents start imposing their orthodox thoughts on him.

The child keeps on duelling with the ideas of his modern education and the social orthodox ideas imposed by the parents.

COMPETITION-

When a lot of competition is imposed on the child on behalf of the society or family, then it will have a wrong effect on the child's mind. Competition is okay but too much competition is not good.

  etc.

OTHERS-  depression caused by social issues, like financial, dowry etc. 

HOW TO AVOID DEPRESSION-

Germany's famous psychologist Enrich Frömm wrote the book Art of Love during the 2nd World War

he said that love is usually of 2 types 1) conditional love 2) unconditional love 

Conditional love depends on many conditions like the father told his son if you get 1 rank I will give the bike if 2nd rank I will give you a bicycle and if you fail I will beat you this is the only example. please don't judge the sentence.

unconditional love is a love without any condition like mom told her child 

No matter how you are, your mother loves her child very much. it is an example of unconditional love.

so where is  the unconditional love 

Where someone can find unconditional love French Fromm talks about it

there are 4 relations 1) parents 2) friends 3) siblings 4) someone

 there are 4 pillars of emotional dependency 

and we try to balanced 4 pillars equally do not depend more on one pillar

If one of the pillars falls, then the other 3 pillars should be there to support you.

this is the art of love 

EXPRESSIVE 

 

 Try to make yourself more expressive.

DONT TRY TO BE GREAT 

 

You should not try too smart and great value. and Keep yourself simple etc.

PHYSICAL  ACTIVITY

Must be exercising regularly or playing games.

 

DO FOR OTHERS-

There should be a sense of compassion, the nature of helping someone should develop.

In our society, people do not take depression very seriously or they make fun of it If you make fun of such a person, then you have inadvertently pushed him to suicide 1 step. this is a very serious problem and many times someone who has this disease does not even know.

If you have such people around you help them.

THANKYOU.
