You call it sadness when at some point our emotional wound fades, when someone embrace and accept life struggles then sadness eventually grow dim.  Low spirits happen, it’s part of our lives. We can’t avoid it. Often sadness is mistakenly confused with depression. Unlike depression sadness is a normal part of our existence. If you feel down and persist over a longer time, then you might need a support. Be wary, our Ignorance might fail us too see a serious condition that requires treatment.
My husband started with troubles in sleeping, then followed by slowly losing his appetite the following week plus inability to focus on small things. We all thought even my husband does, that this shall pass and none of this is serious. We went to see the neuro twice, was advised to take sleeping pills at first and then weeks later pills changed to Rivotril (Clonazepam belongs to the class of medications called benzodiazepines) not sure but when he took the Rivotril, breakdowns start to kick off. That’s the time we had decided that we need to see a psychiatrist.  I was confused, we don’t have any issues at all! I know he has some worries & career disappointments but never came to my mind that his remorse will end up his rationality. Depression decreases the amount of SEROTONIN in our brain. It’s hard for them appreciate things making it less enjoyable & less interesting. Running thoughts or obsessive thinking were just norms for them, they can’t help it and it’s heart-breaking to see my husband fighting with his own thoughts. My love for him is greater than his depression. I’m putting all my faith in GOD.
