Therapy- The Help That Leads To Happiness The words „depression‟ and „therapy‟ carry such a stark taboo, that many lives are lost forever struggling with life. Of course in extreme cases of depression, people take their own life. But a person with depression, struggling every day isn‟t the kind of life that anyone deserves. A human being‟s most natural tendency is to be happy and at peace and life itself is meant to be lived like that. However, when faced with depression, it often feels like one‟s head is wrapped in a plastic surface, and while he/she might be seemingly functioning, they aren‟t able to, simply and truly LIVE. We as human beings hence must take it upon ourselves to encourage someone in need that we know, to get depression help. Depression sees no age or relationship. In fact, couples today often seem to feel that they‟ve hit a dead end when it comes to their relationship. Getting a couple therapy hence is the smartest way forward.
