Billions of people in our world nowadays are victims of this mental issue. Our population is increasing day by day still people are feeling lonely and alone from inside.

Do we actually know what Depression is? Depression is felt when we start feeling worthless and lose interest in everything we once liked to do. This is seen mostly in the youth of nowadays. The main reason for this is, in today's generation's cost of living is really high. So both the parents have to work to give a smooth life to their children. So these children spend their whole childhood with babysitters, away from parents and so these children in most cases will grow up with no moral values. Hence as they become adults, they will not have self-control, motivation, affection, love. All they will be foud of are materialistic things.

As parents will be absent for the whole week they will shower their child with materialistic things on weekends. So the child will learn to find happiness in materialistic things and will have no respect for emotions. So their IQ levels may be high but their emotional intelligence will be totally zero. Even small problems will lead them to over think and this will lead to Depression.

Also, life nowadays is very hectic. Parents do not have enough time to spend with their children. Hence parents will not be aware of mental illness their child is suffering from which will lead to suicides or self-harm.

Also, small failures are making children feel worthless and if parents scold them due to frustration in their hectic life child will totally drown in that mental illness.

Due to a lack of emotional intelligence and resistance to failures child may fail to get a job even though he is talented or has a high IQ. As he was bought up smoothly he won't be able to handle failures and won't be able to keep up with bills and this can lead them to Depression.

These children then become adults and their children fall into the hands of immature parents. How can an emotionally unstable parent get her child emotionally fit? The cycle then repeats and will lead to unwanted self-destruction.

So the solution for this is parents should spend more time with their children as love and affection can heal everything. Children should be given all the attention and affection they need .
