It is important for everyone to be concerned about this widespread problem in youth. Once, I heard from my teacher that three of his friends comitted suicide due to depression at the age of twenty-two. From this, we also come to realize how deeply young people are getting depressed in this competitive modern would. In Nepal, out of every four youth one youth is mentally ill or depressed. However, they can't express the reason of depression to others and, therefore, cannot solve their problem and become depressed day by day.
Some of the main reasons for mental depression are stated below:
Tense house: Some homes are so tense that no one would want to live there. There is always quarrelling between parents which cause members of that house, especially teenagers and children, to mentally suffer very much. This results in he/she becoming depressed and they become vulnerable to drugs and other dangers.
Unhealthy competition: Unhealthy competition is the one of the main reason for youth to be depressed. Since, in this modern world, there is competition in every field, there is less chance to get the job or scholarship or any other thing. If they don’t get these things, they become depressed. So young people should be kept away from unhealthy competition.
Conflict in mind: Many youths become mentally depressed due to conflicts in their minds. Generally, a young person's mind is in constant dilemma. They fall into uncertainties and anxiousness when it comes time to choose the right field. For example: after finishing the high school, they must choose the subject for higher study, and if they can’t choose right subject they become frustrated in their future.
These are some of the reasons that youth become depressed. Every class in our societies should be concerned about the causes of depression in youth. That way, they can help them get rid of depression and frustration and live normal lives and do some creative work, which is beneficial for all.
