What is self-reflection? In simple words, it means reflecting on oneself. Such as action and verbal language that one did and spoke respectively. This may seem to be a very simple task that anyone of us will be able to do it. However, with a deeper thought self-reflection leads to creativity which people could not even think about or even more, illusions that eventually leads to depression.
Human beings do make mistakes however we have been blessed with the freedom to do so. This is because we have the ability to correct these mistakes. Even if you have made a mistake you can reflect on it; it is because you can reflect on and repent your actions that you are able to undo mistakes.
Through self-reflection you can undo past deeds. If reflecting on your past with a pure heart, you will be able to wipe out all the records that have been written as losses, you can also erase with an ink eraser what you have written.
Mental health researchers and practitioners delve into the issue of self-reflection and concluded that 8 out of 10 of those suffering from the major depressive disorder are mainly the artists and writers. As artists and writers often need to think out of the box for creative new ideas that can attract more people to buy their books or even watch their show. Thus, they usually have to do self-reflection on their work while they think deeper to create more interesting ideas.
People who are more prone to be suffering from depression are those who have low self-esteem, who consistently view themselves and the world with pessimism, or who are readily overwhelmed by stress. If a person grows up in a pessimistic environment, in which discouragement is common and encouragement is rare, that person will develop a vulnerability to depression as well. A serious loss, chronic illness, relationship problems, work stress, family crisis, financial setback, or any unwelcome life change can trigger a depressive episode.
So if people start to feel depressed they should talk to someone or maybe a psychologist who can help to solve their problem. Before the illness worsen and get more serious to get back to normal self.
