         Stress is everywhere. A little stress is OK, some stress isactually helpful, but too much stress is destructive. A report fromWorld Health Organization (WHO) shows that more and morepeople have been overloaded with stress today. In the 21st century,major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most deadlydiseases. By 2015, about 300 million people had been troubled byMDD around the globe. What’s worse, the ratio has kept rising .
         MDD doesn’t just mean “worrying too much”； however, itmeans “disease”. It affects how you think and act. Once you getMDD, you are not interested in anything any more, and experienceonly extreme bad feelings for a very long time, being walled offfrom the world.
        In addition to taking medicine, people that go through MDDneed others’ listening. Either telling them “it’s no big deal” or “bepositive” would only make it worse.
