The story that has been presented here is based on real life. However, the identity of the person will not be revealed due to the nature of the story and also may hamper their future as they have already recovered from their problems. This story should be used as a story of motivation and learning rather than being used for negative reasons.
This fellow was in his mid twenties and had taken medication regarding depression for six years. When you take medication for depression, it usually puts you to sleep because in depression you want to be alone and do not want to talk to anybody. However, that does not mean giving medication which will put you to sleep for the whole day is the answer. You need to interact and communicate with somebody to talk about your situation. He was trying to get help but the help he got from the medication was not enough. He was from a rural village in Kalikot district. He had quit his studies due to depression and started taking medicine thinking it would help him.
I met him and started giving counselling to him. I found out that most of the people in depression do not accept life as it is rather they object it. If they do not embrace themselves then they are in denial and everything that comes to you is negative. That is one of the reasons why depression occurs. With my help and his persistence, it took some time but he managed to get out of depression.
The last time I was in contact with him, he was planning to open a library in his home district. This shows the transformation that he has changed and is involved in something that he loves.
