All Alone In The Crowd

The entire world was shocked when Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington committed suicide. It was found out that Depression was the culprit behind this horrible step taken.

According to a medical website, depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects the way you feel, the way you think and how you act. Depression causes feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.

If it feels like the flowers have lost their charm, all the colours around you have drained out, there is a different kind of hollowness, guilt, and sadness inside you, then you might be suffering from depression. But don’t worry. Fortunately, depression is treatable. Meditation, medication, Psychotherapy (talk therapy) and self – help are some of the best ways to cope with depression.

Celebrities that committed suicide due to depression since last year include Avicii, Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade.

I feel kind of like a freak and I feel kind of isolated,'' he had said.
