Depression and It's Role in Crime.
The depression is a mental health problem in which an individual ability of thinking and working effected. The people who became depressed can't do their job properly and their behavior with public is also danger. Loss of job, break up of relationship, unemployment, early marriage, poor house condition, economical unstable are the major causes of depression. The main symptoms of depression are lack of sleep, ineffective working, drug taking, angry, suicidal thoughts, harm himself or others, feel alone, eating behavior disturb. On the other in my opinion depressed people often commit crime because the lose their sense. Mostly convicted criminals have history of depression, their acts in society is also issuable. Sometime they become violent criminals, they often commit violent crimes and hurt someone. Majority of depressed peoples are connected with criminality, they have also registered criminals in some jurisdiction. There are lots of examples near me, they also take dangerous drugs like; Wine, Poppy, Ice, Chars. When a person commit crime he is not in his/her sense and can't measure right and wrong. The COVID-19 also brings lots of Impacts on the people and society. Becuase due to coronavirus lockdown situation is here, people effected badly their business, jobs also effected. According to a Survey 42% people of Sindh become depressed, becuase Pandemic hurt them badly. No doubt every age group of people depressed during pandemic, Children due to closure of Schools while adults due to their job. We can take measurements to rehabilitate to Depressed peoples using different methods. The counseling, financial support, proper treatment, give them hope of living, add them in relation and any help they want or they have need.
The End.
