Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect
The history of selfharm and depression dates back to 1913 when it was studied by L.E. Emerson. There's not alot of history to backup self harm, less than you would think. 1 and 12 people will self harm themselves in their teenage years. 1 and 33 children may have depression, and in teens the number maybe as high as 1 and 18.
People don't realize this but self harm and depression are a big deal. It needs to become more aware to the public about what it is, why its affecting our children and young adults, and what we can do to help stop it. This is why I chose to do research on self harm and depression. This topic relates to Demi Lovato in s many ways, because Demi is working on making this topic more aware to the public as much as possible. Even Demi herself has struggled with depression, and self harm.
There are many different types of depression. "All depression types are not the same. Major depression, or clinical depression, and chronic depression, also known as dysthymia. these are the most common types. But there are also other types of depression with unique signs, symptoms, and treatment." The type of depression Demi suffers from is called manic depression, also known as a bipolar disorder. This type of depression can cause you to make risky actions, which made Demi lead into self harm, drugs, and stop eating. This mental illness is serious and can lead to choosing to end your life if not treated. This type of depression has been known to end careers, and relationships.
Depression and self harm, and major problems that people don't notice or think about everyday, but it's important that we start. More knowledge about these issues can be helpful, and help others. Especially those who don't suffer from these things understand what people who do are going through and they can help. That's why I chose to research depression and self harm, and what it can do to a person.
