<p>There are some stretches in life, wherein we find ourselves shrouded by surfeit mental depression. This distress could be an offshoot of the interminable workload at our workplace. <br /><br /></p>.<p>It could be due to domestic disharmony, sparked by minor squabbles with one’s spouse or with one’s offspring. The depression could also be because of some loss, some sort of failure, some disillusionment, et al<br /><br />Well, what do we tend to do when blitzed by such spasms of mental despair? Generally, people try launching on pleasure expeditions, as they feel it’s a sure-fire way of extinguishing those flames of depression. <br /><br />Some folks, the cineastes, try making an impetuous dash to multiplexes, to watch the flicks to quash their mental distress. Some believe in retail therapy, going berserk with shopping sorties, to quell their mental misery. <br /><br />Few others go gallivanting on short holiday jaunts to mitigate their mental agony. Some folks even consider carousing and binging on scrumptious food with friends to beat the mental dejection.<br /><br />Incidentally, all the aforesaid pleasure-laden pursuits may pump up your plummeting spirits, in case your depression is only in its passing phase. (The times when you are experiencing that inscrutable mental gloom with no tangible reason). <br /><br />On the other hand, if the mental disconcert has been spawned by a serious problem, then these above activities can proffer you pleasure only for transitory moments. Since, after sometime, the bouts of depression would again start blitzing your mind. Just like festering wounds that keep resurfacing with recrudescence effect. <br /><br />So, what are the means of curbing those depression streaks, without letting them lurk or linger longer in us, annihilating all our inner peace? Well, the only way is to directly counter and effectively deal with our problems, responsible for engendering of mental depressions in us. <br /><br />For instance, when we are feeling depressed over heaps of work (be it at home-front or at our workplace), instead of evading the work or shelving it for later days, completing the work, howsoever it may be arduous, will help in automatically alleviating the depression attacks.<br /><br />Likewise, even when the depression is triggered by some failure or loss, learning to deal with it, with undaunted courage and undeterred determination, (so as to be successful later on in life) can really aid in decimating the degrees of depression.<br /><br /> We should note that ‘escapism’ - by perpetually indulging in pleasure-fraught activities, thereby running away from problems, is emphatically not an efficacious solution in eliminating the depression assaults. <br /><br />After all, we should realize that if we can’t find that happiness in ourselves, in the confines of our own turf, in the midst of our own family, then possibly we mayn’t be able to find it anywhere else too!</p>
