The big "R" and you

A very popular result of recession is depression wherein The Great Depression during the 1930s is recalled. In this article though, “depression” simply refers to the mental state anyone would have when they are faced with tough problems.

Anyone could easily end up being depressed. The reasons may vary – family problems, relationship problems or even work related problems. The human mind can easily cope up with different challenges but they are only up to a point. There will be a time that a human mind cannot cope up with the challenges and would just give up.

Depression could easily set in during this economic period since work, business and other source of income is at stake. When a person loses the ability to earn to support his way of life, panic could be an immediate reaction and when hopelessness is realized, depression could set in.

Depression is never a good thing. When you are depressed, everything is gloomy and you will never be able to think straight on what to do. Even if you do have a job and have a gloomy feeling about it, you end up unable to concentrate on what you need to do to perform.

Instead of being productive, you become a burden for the company which wants to survive. You get terminated not because the company has to sacrifice jobs but you were not really performing well.
