Depression A Cry For Help- Part 3

There is a trend in America that many individuals forget that there is consequences with children and teen behavior when the parents have mental health issues. We tend to forget that the problems, we have created in our families are lifetime scares. Insanity and depression are part of the family history and will affect the children because the have been born into that particular family unit. The history of the family unit coupled with the stress of the society is helping to make mental health an emerging crisis in our schools.

For some reason parents think they can call each other any name and this will have no affect on the children. Some parents abuse drugs and alcohol, and there is continuous violence in the home, and the parents wonder what is wrong with our children? The problems that exist with our children begin with the dysfunctional families that our children are forced to live in.

Statistically the experts claim that one out of every five of our children need psychological help, and one out of ten have serious mental problems. There is a major need in our society to understand the fundamental reasons why depression exist at an alarming rate. The cry for help is not a quiet voice in the distant forest, but a loud scream that is roaring with no answer. A transformation is needed for our society to recover. The pervasive mental sickness exist because the balance that existed with mother nature no longer exists.

There is no answer with the need for progress. We cannot expect that the digital universe to stop and wait for the complacent and lethargic folks to keep up. The question or issue becomes how can the informed and educated collaborate with the people with mental disorders, and make a positive impact in the society. Is there another alternative to treating depression without the pharmaceutical dependence on drugs. Depression continues to be a major problem in our society but where are the solutions?
