Answer the questions based on this article.

What is depression?

It is a state marked by either a sad mood or a loss of interest in one’s usual activities, as well as
feelings of hopelessness, suicidal ideation, psychomotor agitation or retardation, and trouble
concentrating (p. 280, Abnormal Psychology, Nolen-Hoeksema)

Here are a few myths about depression and depressed people that need to be put to rest.

1. Depression is not real.

Depression is a real disease. If you’re blessed enough to be one of those people who haven’t
experienced it before, let me paint you a picture of how it feels like.

I bet you’ve had a couple of gloomy days. They’re usually marked by dark clouds that cover the skies.
These days follow a memorably sad event like the loss of someone close to you. Do you remember
yours?

Can you recall how heavy your heart was and how hard it was to get up?

Do you remember how dark the sky was and how the sun refused to shine?

Depression is a lot like that except for the fact that the dark clouds never go away.

2. Depressed people just don’t try hard enough.

I don’t think there’s anything more hurtful to say to someone struggling with depression than this.
Who wants to keep feeling like that? People can stay depressed because no matter what they do, they
are unable to change how they feel.
Some people think that you can just decide to stop being depressed and that will magically fix
everything. It doesn’t always work that way.

3. Depressed people just need to find the solution to their problems.

A lot of people still think that the reason why people get depressed is because of some unresolved
problem. That’s not always true.

Depression can be brought about by an imbalance of hormones and neurotransmitters in the body. It
can be biological in nature.

4. Depressed people look depart.

This is by far the most dangerous myth in the list. Not all depressed people wear black clothes and
black make-up.

It’s also incorrect to assume that depressed people are not achievers. Good grades are not equivalent
to positive self-image. If there’s one thing non-achievers are better at, it’s coping with failure.
Achievers with depressive tendencies can jump the ledge for reasons as minute as failing a test.

What’s the point of all this?

It’s quite simple, actually. Be kind to everyone. Be generous with your ears, your shoulder, and with
encouragement. Be that friend who asks “How are you doing?” and waits for the real answer.

You may not know it, but doing these things can just save someone’s life.

And that’s my two cents on that.

76. The author wanted the readers to know that ____________.

a. Depression is just the same as sadness. b. Depression has obvious symptoms.
c. Depression is a made up disease made to d. Depression is a real problem and
sell medicine depressed people need help.
