Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how a certain person thinks or act causing a feeling of sadness and loss of interest.

It is a type of mental condition more than just sadness, in fact, it is a sickness taking thousands of lives all around the world every year.

Recently, a Facebook user named Neil Edward D. Diaz has shared another person who committed suicide due to depression.

A Guhit Pinas member identified as Aubrey So took her own life after battling depression over the past few months.

Aubrey So also even contributed an artwork about depression before committing suicide, according to Diaz.

Here is the full post:

“RIP Aubrey So. 

She was an artist, a Guhit Pinas member and before she took her life, her latest (and last) contribution was an art about depression.

The rate at which suicide is getting more and more prevalent among youth is quite alarming. The use of social media can be an extremely toxic activity for already depressed people. Let’s stop sharing posts from FB pages like “Depression Kills” and “Depressed Feelings” for by doing so, we are unwittingly romanticizing mental illness and promoting suicide.

It is equally important for us to be sensitive and help people who tend to post suicidal statuses. Support them and stay with them and make them feel that they are not alone. If it doesn’t work then seek for professional help. Depression is more than just sadness. It is a form of sickness that sometimes needs medical and psychiatric remedies.

The social media users also expressed their opinion regarding the incident. Here are some of the comments:Mariiecar Althea Almoete Bon: “ Sa totoo lang ganto din po ako minsan hindi ko alam kung bakit 

 kaya minsan ganyan din po ang nasa isip ko magpakamatay etc. Pero pilit kong nilalabanan dahil din sa dalawa kong anak. Yung parang nag-iisa kana lang at yung kakampi mo yung sarile mo lang ganun”

Hue Das: “ it’s not only one’s fault. maraming possible reasons kung bakit nattrigger ang isang depress na tao at kung bakit mas lumalaki yung chance na itake nya own life nya. kayo naman, kung may nakikita kayong friends na nagsshare na ng ganun then you should lend a hand kaagad. help that person para kapag dumating na tayo sa point na ganito may nag suicide naman, hindi tayo nagbblame ng ibang tao.”

Jovit Casiño: “ Ireport dapat yang Depression kills eh! Even ung ung ibang page na about sadness. Mas tinitrigger nilang may gawing masama or worse mag-suicide ang isang tao. Imbis na i-motivate nila ung tao na to think positive, mas dinedepress nila through their post e. Though it’s not bad to express ur feelings but…hayy . Skl. Opinion lang”

Jean Vidal: “Akala ko pag sinabing depression, may idea na yung mga tao about dun. Akala ko pag sinabing depression, they will handle the situation with care. Pero nakakalungkot lang, may mga tao pa rin talagang hindi alam kung ano ang depression. Mga taong reresetahan ka pa din ng “Wag mo na masyadong isipin yan” at “Ipagpray mo kay Lord” para mawala depression mo.”

Alfie C. Tubillara: “Depression is like satan driving on you. Just pray it heartily and ask God for help and go to cburch once a week, participate christian work and services then after that, you will realize the importance in life.”
