Are You D-pressed? Be a V-pressed today!!

Are you Depress? This is an Emotions that not just a lot woman faces through,it applies even to male & female, youngest to the oldest.
In fact statistic has shown that there's an increase rate of depression.For example in the recent Newspaper there's an article on S'pore being the least affected in the recession period, yet the most pessimistic! As I was sharing with some people of this amazing talk held in my hospital, held by this very well known psychiatric Dr Ang.

He uses examples of an increasing in youth suicide, such as the recent case of NTU student suicide.It was after much investigation, it was found out because of this virtual reality he was in that causes severe depression.Yes supposingly a very outstanding student, on a scholarship which allows him for a further studies in NTU. However because his computer games addiction, hence his result began to deteriorate. Thus ignoring the few warning letters, regarding the cancellation of his scholarship, this NTU student continue to be heavily addicted to his computer games(virtual reality)! Finally upon getting the last letter of cancellation of the scholarship, he tried to consult his professor but to no avail. Then resorting to violence, he attacked his professor follow by taking his own life!

Another story of an A star student, went to jump off from a HDB flat after his gf left him for his best friend...some of us might think how silly is that,i don't deny i feel this way too! Why seek a permanent solution for a temporary problem!

Also a case of an smrt engineer,whom has recently be transferred out of his department to the other, thereafter he was not used to the transition,therefore he requested for a transfer back to the old department.But unfortunately his request was rejected. A man facing the responsibilities in the household,and acute stress in the workplace,he was hence confirmed by the psychiatrist that he was down with depression.Story don't just stop here... Having hope that the medical certificate of depression will bring him back to the old department,he requested a 2nd time. However instead of a permission granted,with understanding, it was felt that this engineer is no longer fit to work in the company.He's one of this person that committed suicide at one of the MRT track.so sad right.. The thing is we must always be tactful in our word, Never say NO to a person with a sign of depression, let me make it clear depress person ar.

In conclusion, these people are simply D-pressed(Depressed), psychiatric Dr Ang quoted that our Intelligence does not determine our Emotional well being!Yes although there's an advance in medical treatment such as Prozac, Anti-Depressant.There's this 4 Basis Human needs to look into:

1. Physical needs-The need for air,food & water
2. Intellectual needs- Humans have a need for a certain level of knowledge and understanding in terms of factual data and cognitive skill development
3. Emotional needs- I feel this is a subjective feelings,it varies in different people
4. Spiritual needs- For my point of view,we required a sense of connections,something bigger than ourselves.Why not join a community,like church!:)

And for me,I think prayers is a vital needs.Ever shared by Yi lun before too,that in Times magazine, a research has shown that the MRI brain of a person whom has prayed,there's a release of chemical substance which sooths your nerves.It also brings you to a clearer perspective! Pray towards your vision....Be a Vision pressed!!
