Does self-reflection leads to depression? Self-reflection is where I think over and reflect on what I did over the past few days. It is the moment where I will think of the mistakes that I committed and the achievements that I achieved. In my perspective, depression often occurs to people who are too stressed, paranoid and think too much over certain matters. They tend to over self-reflect themselves. Different people may behave differently when they are depressed. Some may tend to react violently over the outcome and faces trouble accepting it. When one faces depression, they will be physically and mentally unstable.
According to the article, it states that artists and writers are more prone to face depression. Researches and doctors linked creativity to the depression state. They think that expressing their feelings and thoughts through writing and paintings leads to depression. Artists and writers will definitely need inspiration and have to think out of the box to draw the best piece and develop an interesting story. Others may misunderstand the way they self-reflect as facing depression. We should respect the way artists and writers work and think.
Self-reflection is good for everyone. By self-reflecting, you are self-examining and improving yourself. I agree that self-reflecting leads to creativity. People will think more and develop their own creativity.
Over the weeks, the article that affects me personally is plagiarism. After reading the article on plagiarism, I realise the importance of appreciating the author. I am more aware of how serious the consequences are in tertiary education if one commits plagiarism. Since more projects are coming which require more research, I am learning to cultivate the habit of not copying everything from the original source. By doing this, I will be able to develop my own opinions and not take the original source for granted.
