What comes in our heads when we hear the word twin? Two people who are born with each other at the same time or maybe a minute early or late from the same mother. Apart, from the medical terminology what else comes in our minds? Two persons who resemble each other a lot, coordinated with each other or dependent on each other in various ways. The term twin could also be referred as two people or things to be linked, for the purposes of friendship or for cultural exchange. Those two people could have been inspired from each other as they have common attributes as compared to the rest. Consoled each other in difficult times and discovered life together. When one is called the other one will go too as a natural attribute. If we forget about the term twin referring to people and emphasis on the term referring to emotions.

Are happiness and sadness twins? Problems and solutions twins? Depression and Inspiration twins? The answer is yes. With one emotional effect comes the opposite of it. Taking the example of life when we encounter events of sadness, our heart and mind sets on a conquest to find happiness. When we face problems, difficulties, our mind automatically diverts in finding its solutions. When we are depressed in life, we want to come out of that situation by finding inspiration in ourselves or in that situation. Depression? What is depression? Depression is a very common and serious medical illness that negatively affects your mind and your body. It causes you feelings and emotions of sadness, loss in appetite, in activities you once were interested in. It can cause you harm both emotionally and physically. Fortunately, this illness is curable.

How to Cope with Depression Symptoms?

· Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

Depression causes the person to loose interest in activities, the person once enjoyed or found worth doing of. This symptom could be coped up with by taking inspirations from the people who have excelled in those activities and has gained immense amount of success while indulging in those activities.

· Feeling sad and lonely, having a depressed mood.

Talking with your friends, family, revisiting memories of happiness could help to lighten up your mood. Taking inspiration from their lives, the troubles and sadness they have endured and still fighting with and competing with the pace of life.

· Difficulty in thinking positive, taking wrong decisions.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”-George Santayana. Your past is a source of inspiration to yourself. Learning from the past could help in taking right decisions in the future. We all do mistakes but accepting those and moving on is the right choice.

· Feeling guilty and worthless.

Arrival of the feelings of guilt and worthlessness are natural but remaining in them for a long time effects you badly. Taking examples from people who had taken incorrect decisions in life or even committed crimes yet they became social activists in the future.

Depression is a natural process, at times people who are not patients of depression also face these symptoms in matters of life but with every door which God closes he opens up an alternative one with it. One who is suffering from depression or feeling symptoms could help themselves with the help of inspiration. Inspiration is a strong tool which can be used to fight depression and many negative emotional affects.
