interview -
how did depression effect your education? It made it so much harder to get up and go in and so my grades dropped adding to my anxiety of going in.

Did you not feel like you could speak to any one about it? definety not originally because of the stigma around it and  you dont feel as if anyone would be able to understand

how did you get thought it? help of friends and family after i felt like i could speak to them.

do you feel like the stress of exams added to your anxiety?  the stress added to the high stress of the exams making it harder to concentrate.

artica ver 2 -  Anxiety and depression you may believe these things are more common in adult but in reality it much more common around teens and young adults and has a large effect on their education and exam results, after conducting a survey on people between the ages of 15-18 I found that teens suffering from stress and anxiety or depression said that the stress off exams added to their anxiety?depression. It's believed that their is a social stigma around those with depression or anxiety this causes a lot of people who suffer from these conditions to avoid getting treatment or getting help from friends and family believing other will treat them poorly for it or force them onto medications however in most cases this is simply untrue their lots of help available for anyone suffering from depression or anxiety and people are more understanding than they believe however

Ver 1 -Depression, It's the most common mental health problem in the uk but this doesn’t make it any less serious, people like students who are all going through a large transition in their life preparing for full-time work or further/higher education are under a severe amount of stress and are more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety this added with the pressure of their school or college work it's should be no surprise that depression and anxiety is extremely common in students however what kind of serious effects could it have on a student's education or home life? Well after talking to two male students who have both suffered from diagnosed depression I found out how depression not only affected them and their education but their homelife as well, when asked how depression affected their education they said  “It made it so much harder to get up and go in which coursed me to fall behind in class and my grades to dropped adding to my anxiety of going in” one of them also said that “the stress of exams made me feel worse and worse until I didn't feel there was a point in trying anymore” so it's very possible that exam stress contributes to depression in some students but how does stress really affect students, well depression can causes a lack of motivation as well as changes in mood and in extreme cases include weight loss or gaining  of weight, decline in personal hygiene as well as poor attendance.and can become withdrawn, highly agitated or anxious. So how do you spot depression in students well other than changes in behaviour or mood depression can shows itself in many ways like “A loss of interest in life and a feeling you can't enjoy anything” or “finding it harder to make decisions, or feeling disengaged from their life, or unmotivated act or attempt new things. It's believed that their is a social stigma around those with depression however this is untrue but this still causes a lot of people who suffer from these conditions like depression or anxiety as well as other mental health conditions to avoid getting treatment or getting help from friends and family because they believing other will treat them poorly or differently because of it however in most cases this is simply untrue their lots of help available for anyone suffering from depression or anxiety and people are more understanding than they believe. help can be found through websites like Students Against Depression or from any  local doctors or simply by speaking with your friends or families or even your school or college.
