DEPRESSION COMICS 1

In the two comic stories the author is trying to explain how people with depression feel like,

many times people who are not aware of depression or have never experienced it think that it’s

only a phase that will eventually go away, they also think it is nothing serious and the person

does not need any doctor for it but the reality is that it’s not just a phase, it’s a feeling that

cannot be described in words, in more like an empty feeling, where a person suffering is not

sure of his/her emotions and feelings, not sure how to create and behave. Not everybody with

depression looks sad and tensed from outside, a lot of times people are people are ok and

happy from the outside, basically they are presenting “Pathological niceness” that is they look

fine and happy from outside but from inside they are breaking down, feels like the world is

coming to an end or as if they have no purpose in life and they want to quit their life. It’s a

pretty awful feeling and mostly unexplainable. Most of the times the sufferers don’t have nay

specific reason for their depression, they are not sure what’s causing them the sickness and a

lot of times, the sufferer is able to identify the cause of depression. External factors play major

role in stress and depression.

If I know in my surrounding who is suffering from severe depression, I will try my gest to help

that person by understanding their situation and not judging them or forcing them to act and

behave in a way. Its important for us to understand people with depression and give them

enough space for them to heal.

The writing style in both the comics is haphazard and theme represents as thought the inside of

the person is communicating with the outside
