A mental issue with which I m familiar with is depression. Depression is disorder which can caused by many different reasons. It is very dangerous problem if not controlled within time period.

Depression may be hereditary or environmental pressure. Almost all age people face depression problems, however, in todays era teenager are also facing stress and depression problems. Some children who see divorce between parents they feel isolated and start taking stress which later converted into depression. Many people who are addicted of substance abuse such as drugs, alcohol or weed are more likely to face depression problems because these substance has adverse impact on their mind and brain.
I m much aware about depression because I have been gone through depression few years ago. Initially, I was not able to recognize that from what problem I m going through because I used to feel sad and isolated. When I consulted a psychiatrist, then he revealed that I m suffering from depression. He gave me antidepressants which helped me to come out from it. Apart from medicine I used to do yoga and pranyama which includes breathing exercises. These yoga helped me a lot to overcome from depression quickly because these yoga helps in balancing chemical in brains.
One mental issue which I want to know more about is bipolar disorder. It is because I heard about it much as many big celebrities has face biploar disorder. Honey singh who is an Indian singer and rapper who was invisible from past 5 years was suffering from bipolar disorder. I don't know much about this mental disorder and want to know about their treatment.
