What's Depression?

I would like to start the quotation of Dorothy Rowe, he said- "Depression is a prison where you are both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer".

 Depression is a very common word that occurs frequently in our lives. It would be hard to find someone on earth who didn't suffer from depression. It's very common and serious medical illness that affects our feelings and activities negatively and it comes into our lives through various kinds of failures, in fact the main cause of disability is depression. According to the world health organization, it can affect adults, adolescents and children. However, various studies have shown that women suffer more from depression than men. And if a person suffer from long-term depression then he/she is more likely to be affected both physically and emotionally, and often seek medical attention.

Indeed, Depression is a mood disorder that constantly increases feelings of sadness and decreases interest. This is called major depressive disorder or clinical depression. It affects your feelings, thoughts and behaviours as well as can lead to a variety of mental and physical complications, resulting in problems with your normal functioning and sometimes you may feel that you are not fit to live in this world.

• Personality: People who are emotional and can't cope with life's problems are more likely to suffer from depression.

• Gender: Depression varies according to gender. Women generally suffer from twice as much depression as men. No one can say for sure why this is so. However, it may be due to hormonal changes  at different times in their lives.

• Abuse: If you are physically, sexually or emotionally harassed, it can lead to depression later in life.

• Age: Older people are at higher risk for depression. Because at this age various ailments form in the body, fear of death works in the mind, many people feel lonely- all these factors increase the risk of depression in them.

• Conflicts: If you have conflicts in your personal life or conflicts with family members or friends, it will increase your risk of depression.

What Do You Mean By Lifestyle?

Life is impossible without style. Style is an important determinant of our lives and a reflection of human identity. Because through this, a person's likes and dislikes, thoughts, temperament, character, daily activities, culture and so on are expressed. In a word, style is an art of life. However, people's lifestyles vary by country, time, caste and individual such as-just as the lifestyles of rich or poor people aren't the same, nor are the lifestyles of urban and rural people.

##Jeff Calloway says, A lifestyle change beings with a vision and a single step.

The term lifestyle was coined by the Austrian Psychologist Alfred Adler in his 1929 book, The Case of Miss R.- introduced with the meaning of " Established in Childhood as the Basic Character of a Person". Since 1961, the broader concept of lifestyle has been documented as a "Way Or Style Of Living".  Lifestyle is a combination of determining vague or unrealistic factors.

Lifestyle is a way of life established by a society, culture, group or individual that includes behaviors, interactions, activities and patterns of interest. Lifestyle basically describes how you spend your life or how you spend your time. In other words, the simple way of life is called lifestyle. In a word, the way or mean by which you spend your life is called lifestyle. For example, the work you do from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night is your lifestyle. Your lifestyle is revealed through your behaviour, movement or speech, through clothing, using cosmetics, eating habits, choosing friends, physical exercise and how you spend your leisure time. 

  

Types Of Lifestyle

Lifestyle reflects the physical, mental, social and economic values, interests, opinions and behaviours of a particular individual, group or community. People around the world have different lifestyles. Such as- city to village, healthy to unhealthy and active to inactive. The following are the different types of lifestyle discussed.

1. Active Lifestyle:

People who follow this lifestyle are always active. They always like to keep themselves busy. Such as- exercising regularly, hanging out with people, joining groups or clubs. However, an active lifestyle doesn't mean that one has to expend all one's energy but it's always important to maintain good health of body and mind.

2. Healthy Lifestyle

Healthy Lifestyle and active lifestyle are often close. Eating adequate amounts of food, avoiding junk food, saturated fat, sugar and alcohol and exercising regularly to keep yourself fit- are considered healthy living.

3. Nonconformist Lifestyle

People who follow this lifestyle are usually artistic, spiritual, music loving people. Such people have to travel to different countries, find adventure and find the time they need to pursue spiritual culture, artistic performances and musical aspirations.

4. Gypsy Lifestyle

People who follow a nomadic lifestyle never stay in a certain place. They constantly move from one place to another and they leave the attraction of their birhplace and spend their lives spending time with strangers.

5. Single Lifestyle

People who follow this lifestyle are very independent in nature and they prefer to be alone. Through this lifestyle you will be able to learn to be more responsible, to be entertain yourself, to be control yourself and again many will be able to develop their talents. On the other hand, long-term loneliness can have a negative effect on your body and mind like- depression, anxiety, heart disease, high blood pressure and so on.

6. Rural Lifestyle

In such a lifestyle, people live a simple life. Workplaces are located far from their place of residence. Most people live in a firm or a  ranch. Here the civic amenities are comparatively less. They are very simple in nature and they mostly live in poverty.

Rural People Lifestyle ( Pinterest)

6. Urban Lifestyle

The nature of life is different from rural to urban. The city is the heart of high technology and advanced living. City life is a set of personal and group life activities. The city has more population and more civic amenities. The people of the city are usually fancy in nature, unlike the villagers, they aren't simple in nature. Urban life tends to be mechanical in nature. Everyone runs after money in search of livelihood. There's a great lack of fresh environment like village.

How Do You Describe The Healthy Lifestyle With An Example?

Healthy Lifestyle means following a routine and living a healthy or positive way of life, through which you will be able to feel happy and become satisfied. In other words, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting plenty of rest and avoiding junk food, sugar, alcohol, tobacco, drugs as well as praying regularly are considered healthy lifestyles. If you spend your life following these methods, on the one hand your body will be healthy and on the other hand your mental health will improve and in this way you can have a blissful life. According to Jim Rohan, "Life is not an amount: it's a practice."

Some like to eat vegetables, some like to eat fish or meat, on the other hand some like to eat junk food. Some prefer  business or official task while others want to be a doctor or engineered and so on. Thus every person's lifestyle is different in nature, but I believe that every person's should follow a proper lifestyle and pay attention to some things like purpose of life, profession, health etc. The issues that need to be prioritized in the lifestyle are discussed below-

1. Purpose Of Life

Everyone needs to have a specific purpose in life. Life without purpose is like a boat without a boatman. So, in order to complete all the task in your life smoothly, you must make a proper plan, through which you can easily achieve your desired goal.

2. Occupation

Profession carries important identity in every human being's lifestyle. Through this, you will be able to present yourself socially, physically and mentally. It will help you to maintain your quality of life on the one hand and increase your qualifications, skills and abilities on the other. So you have to focus more on choosing the right job, because through this mean you can have a secure and comfortable life.

3. Physical Health

Health is the root of all happiness. That's why you must focus on keeping your body healthy. And for that you have to eat healthy food, exercise regularly and be checked by a doctor from time to time.

4. Sound Relationship

People are bound by different kinds of relationships from birth, such as- mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife, son, daughter, uncle, aunts, grandparents, friends and so on. The importance of every relationship in our lives is immense. So, we need to take all these relationships seriously in our lifestyle.

5. Mental Health

Our body is governed by our mind, so it's important to keep both our body and mind healthy. Therefore, always try to keep your mind cheerful, because if your mind is depressed, its negative effects will fall on all things.

6. Finances

The need for money is immense in our lives. We need money to meet almost all the needs of our life, such as- food, clothing, shelter, education, medical treatment etc. Money can also provide security for you and your family. So, you must seriously consider earning money.

7. Choosing Good Friends

The role of friends in our lives is immense. Friendship is the bond of the soul, we can spontaneously share all our joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, good and bad with our friends, which we often don't do with our parents. So, you must seriously consider choosing friends.

8. Self-improvement

You must strive for self-improvement. Because just as it will be a good reform for you, it will also help you to improve your business or job. This will enable you to enhance your self-esteem to a higher level.

9. Take A Vacation

We are so busy all day that we can't find time for ourselves. But it's very important to find some time for ourselves. So you must find some time for yourself. During this time, you will think about yourself, try to feel yourself, try to analyze your mistakes, you can arrange some entertainment for yourself such as- reading a book, listening to a favorite song or watching a movie etc.

Great Tips To Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle At Different Stages Of Our Lives

A healthy and positive lifestyle can bring overall well-being for us. But the lifestyle of the people of this world is never the same.

The following is a discussion of what a healthy lifestyle should be for children, adolescents, young people and adults at different stages of our lives.
