A case of teenage depression
I am a 17-year old boy reading in grade 11 in Bangladesh. I was a fairly bright student in grade 10, and topped my class. But the day the grade 10 exams ended, my dad bought me all the books for grade 11 and forced me to study them, whilst I had a 4-month long vacation before me. I was devastated. And since then, I have been depressed. Life has lost all its colours for me, and my grades have started falling. I have failed in my first semester exams, and can't study well anymore. Please help me.

Dear user. I can understand. Depressive disorder or depression is a neuro chemical disorder. Suicidal tendency is one main symptom of depression. You must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. These mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines and other means like awareness, meditation, Psychotherapy techniques, life style changes etc. Take care.
