Depression might be different for everyone but usually words like hopelessness, loneliness and emptiness can be used to describe what a depressed person feels . The things that got you excited before like friends , food and sex suddenly seem uninteresting and empty.
People get depressed for a number of reasons from biological ( genetic , personality ) to distressing life events .
Depression is like a parasite that keeps sucking the life out of you until nothing is left.

Dark , disconnected world you fall in ,
Depression is like a parasite that keeps sucking the life out of you until nothing is left.
-
Dark , disconnected world you fall in ,
Trying desperately to reach out but all you have is you yourself ,
Every second , every minute , every hour is a challenge .
Challenge to stay sane.
Body without a soul is what you are .
Hoping someone would not notice the change,
Distance is your only hope ,
Excuses made are too many,
Wondering if you would ever see the bright side again,
Weeks , months , years some might not even recover,
Ended their misery by ending their lives .
I do not believe in prescribed medication (drugs) for depression because it just acts as a numbing agent to make you feel better temporarily without really solving the problem like alcohol .
The best way out of depression?
Brave the pain. Do not be afraid to dwell in your emotions and go to the dark place . I know this sounds ridiculous but it is something like "when you hit rock bottom , there is no way to go but up" method.
Here are some surprising facts about depression :
Depression helps a person:-
1) Grow and learn
Take pain as a teacher that helps you grow stronger mentally, emotionally and physically.
2) Have better grasp of reality
You tend to micro analyze situations like you are stuck in a loop .As a result, you are able to accept and predict realities better than others.
3) Make better decisions
You will be able to weigh out the pros and cons more efficiently.
4) Creativity catalyst
Being mentally isolated , some tend to focus to express themselves better in arts or writing.
To name a few , famous people like Kurt Cobain, Princess Diana, Abraham Lincoln , Bon Jovi, and J.K Rowling too had suffered from depression.
