I am watching the NHK Special "Ichiro Yamaguchi Living with Depression: Sakanaction's Days to Revival."

"Because it's excruciating."

I was so excited that I nodded my head in agreement.

Today, I watched only the first 10 minutes.

I will look at it a little bit over a week.

(By the way, this "Sakanaction" seems to be the name of a music band, but I learned about this band for the first time today.)

Depression" not only makes you feel depressed, but you really can't move your body, not even for a millimeter.

That was painful.

I wonder if there is a way to get people to understand this -- "like when you are suffering from a high fever from the flu/coronavirus, and it seems to go on indefinitely."

Can you understand the state of being in which you think, "I'd rather die than turn over?"

It's synonymous with 'I want to die and get comfortable.

In addition, others have no idea/understand that the person has the disease, and therefore, the person's condition worsens, a snowball effect that causes the situation to get worse.

Depression is such a painful disease that one wonders how much malice the devil of what world created it.

I have previously discussed that depression is the leading cause of suicide, but this does not mean that depression causes suicide.

They choose suicide to escape the pain of "depression" (lethargy, emotionlessness, hopelessness, zero appetite, fatigue, severe pain, etc.).

In other words, suicide is the result of a "very normal decision" that "it is better to be in a state where I do not exist.

Foolishly, I was completely unaware of the above differences until I was affected.

I think many people are suffering from "depression" (the program said 1 in 15 people).

So I think many people can understand what I am saying.

However, I am afraid there are 14 times as many people who do not understand what I am discussing.

First of all, please remember that "depression" is "the pain of suffering from high fever with influenza/coronavirus, which seems to last indefinitely. It will probably be suitable for both parties.
