In a time and age when there's greater understanding of human psychology, it is still bothering that depression remains largely undetected in many settings. Just recently, we had a news here in my country that a male teenager shot his boyfriend to death inside a mall right after the latter decided to break it. For weeks prior to the deadly day, the teenager was already showing signs of depression because of what he perceived as the imminent end of his relationship. He even posted statuses on Facebook detailing his ordeal. After shooting his boyfriend to death, he then shot himself. Both boys have already passed away.

It's these kinds of stories that makes me wonder what we could do in order to avert similar scenarios in the future. There's a marked increase in security in malls here, but that's missing the point because anybody can shoot his lover anywhere he pleases. The greater issue here is the fact that it was a teenager who had access to an unlicensed gun and who was depressed enough to commit suicide because of getting rejected by his lover.

Depression is not really very difficult to detect. The signs are there and they can be easily differentiated from other types of "depressions" that are not really depressions but more like an attempt of people to catch attention. There are preliminary symptoms that you have to consult with experts, who can then diagnose if a person really has depression. The first step is to spot these symptoms and accept that you may have it. In certain countries, there's always that taboo associated with consulting mental health professionals. It is always viewed that consulting such experts mean you're insane.

Among the symptoms that one has to watch out for are sadness, misery, and the obvious signs of depression; withdrawal from day-to-day activities; loss of appetite; poor self-esteem; and inability to make decisions. There are may more signs, but these ones are the most telling.
