SEPTEMBER yellow: a call not to give up on life


Depression, district, bipolar disorder and Adhh show how mental health must be taken seriously; Yellow September is a call to care and empathy

When it arrives in September, the yellow color spreads in countryside, bands and symbols that invite us to a necessary reflection: talking about mental health is to speak of survival. Talk about humanity. The yellow bond is not an ornament; Remember that in the middle of the running and excessive charges, there is a pain that often remains invisible. A pain that, if not recognized, can become a fatal silence.




The invisible weight of depression

Depression is one of the main causes of suffering in the world and yet one of the most misunderstood. This is not common sadness, the one that comes and comes according to the days. It is a continuous pain that empties energy, erases the colors of daily life and transforms every gesture into a huge effort.

Anyone who crosses a depressed crisis knows how the mind can become a hostile place: thoughts of uselessness, fault, despair. Many describe how if they were stuck in a dark room where the door does not exist. But it exists. And the opening of this door requires care, treatment and, above all, reception.

District: the sadness that does not leave

The lesser known, but equally devastating district, is a chronic depression that has been with the person for years. Symptoms are not as intense as in the largest depression, but they are persistent. It’s like bringing a gray cloud over your head every day without a break. Since it is so prolonged, it is often confused with the personality: “it is discouraged”, “it is negative”. The truth is that distinguishing is a disease, not a trait of character. And living in this permanent state of discouragement should not be normalized.

Bipolar affective disorder: the roller coasters of emotions

Bipolar emotional disorder brings another type of suffering: the oscillation between the extremes. There are moments of euphoria, explosive energy, great ideas, sleepless nights, impulsiveness. Then comes the fall: a dip in sadness, empty and despair.

This Russian emotional mountain is not a simple variation of humor; It is a serious medical condition that affects relationships, work and self -esteem. Without treatment, the risk of self -destructive behavior increases. But with adequate cure, it is possible to find balance, reconstruct the bonds and lead a stable and significant life.

ADHD: more than distraction

Attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity (ADHD) are still associated with children with childhood. But it follows many adults, in silence, generating difficulties in organization, concentration, management of time and impulsiveness. Anyone who lives with ADH often feel “late”, “incapable” or “too disorganized”. This cycle of self -criticism can open the doors to anxiety and depression. The correct diagnosis is not a label, but a key that allows us to understand mental functioning itself and seek strategies to live better.

The risk of not cure

Whether it’s depression, distorts, bipolar or ADHD disorder, all these frames share something in common: when not treated, they can make room for the worsening of the image, sadness and thoughts of death. The idea of ​​surrendering does not suddenly show up. It is almost always the consequence of the accumulated suffering that has not found space to be listened to. It is essential to understand: thinking about dying is not weakness, but a symptom. It is a cry of pain. And pain needs care, not judgment.

The path of the aid

If you identified yourself with one of these descriptions, know: you don’t have to face it yourself. In search of help, it is an act of courage and, above all, an act of car -love.

  • Look for a psychiatrist or a psychologist. They have the knowledge necessary to offer diagnosis, treatment and follow -Up;
  • Talk to someone reliable: A friend, a family member, a teacher. Weight sharing can alleviate the burden;
  • In times of crisis, call the CVV (Center for Valization of Life)in number 188, available 24 hours a day, throughout Brazil;
  • If the risk is immediate, Search an emergency room or an emergency service. Your life cannot wait.

A reminder that goes beyond September

Yellow September is more than a campaign. Remember that mental health is as vital as physical health. It is a call so that, as a society, we cannot trivialize psychic suffering. So that we look at each other with empathy, without judgments and with the certainty that no one needs to cross the darkness alone. Because, in the end, taking care of the mind is taking care of life. And life, even when it looks gray, can rediscover its color.
