几张照片展示了抑郁的样子

我的5张照片展示了抑郁的样子

I have done this project completely based on my feelings. About my depression. At first, I thought I would do a self-portrait series but due to the nature of the Bangladeshi culture, I could not gather the courage to do that. In this society, depression is seen as attention or sympathy seeking. That is why I used different models to bring out the different sides of depression.

我完全是根据自己的感觉来做这个项目的。关于我的抑郁症。一开始，我想做一个自画像系列，但由于孟加拉文化的性质，我没有勇气去做。在这个社会中，抑郁被视为寻求关注或同情。这就是为什么我用不同的模型来展示抑郁症的不同方面。

Many people around us are depressed. Those who are the most depressed prefer to talk less and we tend to distance ourselves from them. We don’t want to invite a depressed person to hangouts. We don't even ask them their reasons for being depressed. Instead, we mock them for being quiet and think that they are boring. We don't bring them close to us because we think "the person is depressed; how will that person make us feel happy?" But we don't understand that if they get a little love and care, they may be able to pull themselves out of their depression. It may be that the only cure for someone's depression is some caring and mental support. But most of us don't think like this.

我们周围的很多人都很沮丧。那些最抑郁的人更喜欢少说话，我们倾向于与他们保持距离。我们不想邀请一个抑郁的人去聚会。我们甚至不会问他们抑郁的原因。相反，我们嘲笑他们很安静，认为他们很无聊。我们不让他们接近我们，因为我们认为“这个人很沮丧;那个人怎样才能让我们感到快乐呢?”但我们不明白的是，如果他们得到一点爱和关怀，他们也许能把自己从抑郁中拉出来。也许治疗抑郁症的唯一方法就是一些关怀和精神上的支持。但我们大多数人都不这样想。

When someone posts something on social media about their depression, people make fun of them. When a celebrity shares their experiences with depression or commits suicide because of it, we call that depression; but when people around us talk about their depression, we don't take it seriously. When someone who is not famous commits suicide because of depression, we call them cowards. By no means do I feel that suicide is the right way but we can love and support a depressed person and try to bring them away from such drastic measures.

当有人在社交媒体上发布关于抑郁症的消息时，人们会取笑他们。当一个名人分享他们的抑郁经历或因此自杀，我们称之为抑郁;但是当我们周围的人谈论他们的抑郁时，我们并不把它当回事。当一个不出名的人因为抑郁而自杀时，我们称他们为懦夫。我绝不认为自杀是正确的方式，但我们可以爱和支持一个抑郁的人，并试图使他们远离这些激烈的措施。

I am defining various photographs with their captions. I think that there should be at least one chapter in Bangladeshi textbooks about depression. Otherwise, our younger generation will remain unaware of the detrimental impacts of depression.

我正在用它们的标题定义各种照片。我认为孟加拉国的教科书中至少应该有一章是关于抑郁症的。否则，我们的年轻一代将仍然不知道抑郁症的有害影响。

All the images taken are staged photos. No person's personal lives are portrayed through these pictures. I have just utilized them as characters for the part.

所有拍摄的图片都是舞台照片。没有人的个人生活是通过这些图片描绘的。我只是利用他们作为角色。

Sometimes depression is not the end of the story. Depression can lead to many other related diseases such as anxiety and, ultimately, phobia. The fear of not being able to do something or delusions cause people with depression to constantly feel suffocated and trapped even in a situation that may seem like a regular everyday occurrence to someone who does not suffer from depression.

有时抑郁并不是故事的结局。抑郁会导致许多其他相关疾病，如焦虑，最终导致恐惧症。对不能做某事的恐惧或妄想会导致抑郁症患者经常感到窒息和被困，即使在一个没有抑郁症的人看来，这似乎是每天都会发生的事情。

Men have a more difficult time expressing their depressed emotions to others. Sometimes the only place they can express their depression is in the bathroom. And often, all the taps are turned on so that no one can hear them cry.

男性很难向他人表达他们的抑郁情绪。有时他们唯一能表达抑郁的地方就是浴室。通常情况下，所有的水龙头都是开着的，这样就没有人能听到他们的哭声。

It's not that all depressed people are sad and cry all the time. Some depressed people are brilliant actors. They socialize like everyone else. They laugh and make others laugh. Only when they come home and close their doors, do they reveal their true faces.

并不是所有的抑郁的人都是悲伤和哭泣的。有些抑郁的人是杰出的演员。他们像其他人一样社交。他们笑，让别人笑。只有当他们回家关上门的时候，他们才会回归他们真实的样子。

In this society, the depressed cry into a pillow because no one cares about their depression. If someone is found crying due to depression, they are often labeled as 'crazy', made fun of or become the center of amusement. But hardly anyone ever tries to find out their reasons for crying or to help them get out of depression.

在这个社会里，抑郁的人躲在枕头里哭泣，因为没有人关心他们的抑郁。如果有人因为抑郁而哭泣，他们通常会被贴上“疯子”的标签，被取笑或成为娱乐的中心。但几乎没有人试图找出他们哭泣的原因或帮助他们摆脱抑郁。

Education in Bangladesh can become a burden on students. Students become depressed because society forces them to perform well in academic activities. The same old criteria where CGPA matters and one mistake leads to unemployment. The constant pressure of studying and taking exams is a major cause of anxiety and depression among students.

孟加拉国的教育可能成为学生的负担。学生变得抑郁是因为社会迫使他们在学术活动中表现良好。同样的标准，CGPA很重要，一个错误就会导致失业。持续的学习和考试压力是学生焦虑和抑郁的主要原因。
