If hope and optimism were absent, overwhelming depression would not allow us to live. A person suffering from depression often feels hopeless, sad, distressed, overwhelmed by life, and plagued by feelings of inferiority. Unfounded fears, a lack of appetite, boredom, loss of decision-making ability, pain in various parts of the body, a constant sense of loneliness and isolation, thoughts of suicide, taking trivial matters to heart, fearing friends and relatives, overthinking minor issues, getting angry over small things, crying over trivial matters, and strange thoughts arising in the mind, etc.
All of these are symptoms of depression or melancholia and despair. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 7.6 percent of people fall victim to this illness during their journey to the age of twelve, with causes including worries about school, fear of teachers and adults, deprivation of familial love, and unfulfilled childhood desires.
Depression has now become a common ailment that can hinder a person's success.
Women are more likely to be depressed than men, and this illness easily ensnares women. In our fertile society, major causes include a lack of entertainment, one-sided rights, and excessive responsibilities placed upon individuals. This illness is also related to circumstances, environment, and life experiences.
If the issue faced by the affected person is identified and addressed, they can recover.They should not be left alone. They should be kept away from bad news. Discussing joyful matters in their presence can be beneficial. Play and recreation can also play a significant role. In this regard, Dr. Tasawwur Hussain Mirza states that it would not be incorrect to consider hopelessness, despair, anxiety, and sadness (DEPRESSION) as one and the same ailment.
The unfortunate reality is that a "depression patient" does not even perceive themselves as a patient. How can a person identify their depression after becoming afflicted? There are specific symptoms of depression, and if they are ignored, the patient may suffer from more severe mental disorders. Sadness
Persistent sadness is one of the key signs of despair; individuals who are always engulfed in sadness often have thoughts of suicide, and many of them attempt to take their own lives.
The excess or lack of sleep
Both sleeping too much and too little can be potential signs of depression. Individuals plagued by despair often wake suddenly during the night, feeling as if their senses are dulled. They carry the weight of their problems. Some people may sleep well yet still find their fatigue unrelieved.
The excess or lack of appetite
Depression also affects people's hunger. They may overeat at times or eat less than usual, and those who unconsciously eat less face a risk of weight loss, while overeating can lead to obesity.
Mental weakness
Those suffering from depression often experience mental sluggishness, frequently developing a habit of forgetfulness. Such individuals may struggle to concentrate. Sometimes, even when they make a decision, it feels wrong to them. They become haunted by regrets even before facing a difficult time.
Their general demeanor may appear careless and irresponsible, as they find it hard to engage in any task. Emotions and moods shift rapidly. At times, they may display sudden bursts of anger or irritability, while at other moments, they can be exceedingly cheerful and helpful.
Physical symptoms of despair
Despair is often recognized through mental symptoms, but it also has physical effects. Stomach pain, headaches, and chest tightness can all be caused by depression.
Hopelessness
Individuals suffering from depression lose hope in everything, and feelings of regret over past mistakes intensify, even if they haven't done anything wrong.
Loss of interest
Depression strips a person of interest in daily matters. Such individuals drift away from love and affection, and past interests no longer captivate their hearts. The allure of their loved ones also turns away from them. The patient remains plagued by feelings of inferiority and unwarranted shame. It takes a considerable amount of time for them to emerge from this state.

According to the World Health Organization, depression is a major cause of illnesses and disabilities worldwide. One in three people globally, totaling over 300 million individuals, suffers from this affliction.The situation in Pakistan is not much different. Experts estimate that 34 percent of Pakistan's population is affected by depression; however, those severely impacted often do not realize they are suffering from it. They attribute it to excessive work or circumstances.
If the symptoms of this illness are not recognized and addressed promptly, it can lead to irreparable damage.Additionally, turmeric is highly beneficial in treatment. One tablespoon of turmeric contains 24 calories, fat, fiber, and protein, as well as minerals and iron. The compound found in turmeric, known as curcumin, possesses magical effects and is rich in powerful antioxidants.
Experts assert that curcumin is an extremely important compound.New research has shown that turmeric eliminates inflammation and irritation within the body. Its use alleviates diabetes, skin diseases, and inflammation in the bones. The curcumin present in turmeric has the ability to alter the body's composition.
Research indicates that consuming 500 milligrams of curcumin (found in two tablespoons of turmeric) has the same effect on controlling depression as the well-known medications Prozac and fluoxetine. Thus, turmeric serves as a natural and organic remedy for depression.Turmeric cleanses the teeth. It has been used for thousands of years to enhance skin beauty.
