Depression : Depression In 'Tears Of A Tiger'

Everyone has felt sadness as some point in their lives, but that does not necessarily mean that they are depressed. When someone reaches a point of depression, it could be defined as having been sad for a long period of time, having no motivation to do what once made them happy, and feeling as though there is no more hope. Along with losing all faith, there is the long lasting feelings of guilt, and many depressed people feel this way because they blame themselves for not being able to feel happy. This way of thinking stems from today’s conventional society. People are always told that they can choose optimism, choose to be happy, and it is all their fault if they are anything but.

Mothers want their daughters to be perfect at everything they do, while daughters don’t see the point in learning skills. Mother-daughter relationships can be described as caring or uncaring. These are both shown in Amy Chua’s memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom, and Amy Tan’s novel, The Joy Luck Club.

The yellow wallpaper was an assortment of journal entries written by a woman who has been confined into a room by her physician husband who is certain that she is suffering from temporary nervous breakdown, when she is suffering from postpartum depression. She is prescribed the “rest cure”, usually the only remedy used for women who had “slight hysteric tendencies” and depression. The label “slight hysteric tendencies” points out that this is not seen as an important issue but rather taken very lightly. It is also very ironic as her condition is not very light, as towards the end she completely loses it and goes insane. She starts to see crying women trapped in the wallpaper and spend most of her time thinking about it. She somehow sees herself

Rob was the only one who did not survive and that is terrifying. I know I can relate to him because I was in a car accident when I was around four or five years old. Me and my mom were both in the accident when we had just dropped my brother off right before we flipped and it was terrifying, and though I cannot remember much thankfully, sadly I do remember some of what it was like.

Brosh’s first post on depression, “Adventures in Depression”, describes the grueling progression into apathy she experienced. She makes reference to the obscurity in cause of her depression by saying “Some people have a legitimate reason to feel depressed, but not me. I just woke up one day feeling sad and helpless for absolutely no reason.” Brosh goes on to counteract this, stating “It’s disappointing to feel sad for no reason. Sadness can be almost pleasantly indulgent when you have a way to justify it – you can listen to sad music and imagine yourself as the protagonist in a dramatic movie.” The oscillation Brosh presents by sharing her nonsensical depression and contrasting it with more typical sadness demonstrates how grave her situation is while presenting the audience with a humorous observation to laugh at. Brosh has no source to try and end the depression she is feeling, since there is no particularly valid reason she began to feel it. This predicament leaves Brosh rather powerless, causing her struggle to be arduous and long. She describes her attempts to snap herself out of depression by being self-deprecating, a process that backfires. Brosh claims “The self-loathing and shame had ceased to be even slightly productive, but it was too late to go back at that point, so I just kept going. I followed myself around like a bully, narrating my thoughts and actions with a constant stream of abuse.” Despite the harshness of this behavior, Brosh creates humor in the way

Sigmund Freud was an influential psychoanalyst in the late 18th century to the early 19th century. He made many advances in the field of psychology which have impacted other academic areas such as sociology and social work. In his 1915 paper “Mourning and Melancholia” he connected the normal realm with the pathological. In which he “compared mourning – a normal if painful event from which hardly anyone is spared – with a pathological although very common one: melancholia” (Fiorini et al. 2007). The natural human process is to mourn the loved subject or object when it is lost. Freud explains that grief is the feeling of losing love and once it is fully lost desolation and fear takes its place
