Introduction
Nowadays, Social Media is a controversial topic, in the way that it can destroy
your interaction or relationship to anyone. People may think that social media is a
great blessing to each and every one of us. It helps the introvert people to express what
they can not express in public, it also helps us built relationships we dont expect to
However, social media has also disadvantages. It can cause a distraction, that
makes you feel like nothing else is going around you, it reduces your closeness to your

Parents are worried about how their child is being exposed to gadget at a very
young age, because instead of playing outside like how children supposed to do. They

discipline for us to have a better living. Social Media can affect feelings and emotion
to people, that's why the topic about depression can experience by anyone.
Depression is a rare disease nowadays, because many people around the world
experience this. Sometimes in our daily life we can feel strange things that we don’t
usually understand. Like the feeling of too much sadness, loneliness, emptiness,

feeling down and having lowself esteem. As a researcher we also feel this kind of
thing that we usually can’t explain, we want to share to you how depression affects
us.
Every night we cry and ask ourselves what really is our purpose in this world,
even if we don’t have problems in life. Even if we have loving family, a loving
friends and yet we still feel like there’s no one out there to for us. Until the sadness is
slightly attacking us every single night, sometimes we just ignored it and just sleep to
let it pass, but it just keeps on repeating. Until we realize that we’re experiencing
depression and it quietly creeps upon us. At first you struggle with the little things, but
still you choose to ignore them.Everyday you tell yourself that its okay it will be
alright or its just another bad day, but its not. Now you get used to ignore them and
continue living to your life, because that’s what you need to do, to do what others do.
But your problems still don’t go away and you struggle to pretend everyday, until it
make you feel things are so hard to handle. It slowly takes a person’s life without
knowing the reason why he/she takes his life. According to Centers for Disease

Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And
one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life.
Depression can strike at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to
mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies
show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their
lifetime.Risk factors for Depression can affect anyone even a person who appears to
eventually respond well to treatment. Almost all patients gain some relief from their
examination. In some cases, a blood test might be done to make sure the depression is
not due to a medical condition like a thyroid problem. The evaluation is to identify

symptoms of depression. For many people, regular exercise helps create positive
feeling and improve mood. Getting enough quality sleep on a regular basis, eating a
healthy diet and avoiding alcohol like a depressant that can also help reduce symptoms
