Korean artist Choi Sulli is confirmed to have died. How should society care for patients with depression?

Korean artist Choi Sulli is gone. At the age of 25, when she was blooming as beautifully as a flower, she chose to leave this world and go to heaven. With the confusion, surprise, and regret of countless netizens, she left without looking back. There was no last words, no terminal illness, and it was not a car accident. Cui Shirley died of suspected suicide.

People don’t understand why Shirley is so hard to think about? She is beautiful, has a slim figure, and especially she has flawless white skin, which is what so many girls dream of! Sulli's natural beauty alone is enough to make people envious in South Korea, which advocates beauty and is addicted to plastic surgery. What's more, she also has a glamorous job and is a star in the entertainment industry. In the eyes of the people, as long as she sings and dances, she can earn a good income from this job. What else is she dissatisfied with?

In fact, behind the glamor is unspeakable pain and loneliness. Shirley, who smiles beautifully in front of the camera, is seriously depressed inside. She was sent by her family to be a "trainee" since she was a child. She works like an adult, and she has to bear the pressure that she should not have at this age. With no close friends, no true friends, and no feeling of love from her loved ones, she gradually blocked her voice and used various extraordinary actions to numb her heart that lacked love.

Doing so is a vicious cycle. Her self-indulgence can only lead to more criticism and attacks. Those negative voices are like swords poking directly at her fragile heart, making her even more depressed. She also defended herself with a smile: "I am not a bad person, please be nice to me." It was her last struggle, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her. Shirley felt that she had been abandoned by the whole world, so she might as well leave and completely relieve her pain.

Depression is not as obvious as other diseases. Some patients with depression are not aware that they are "sick" at all. They are pessimistic and world-weary, self-denying, and feel that "living is meaningless." What's even more frightening is that some people look at them through colored glasses and think that they are "hypocritical" and "overfed." This is a wrong concept.

I think society should have some understanding, tolerance and consideration for depression. Do not ridicule and abuse a person with depression unscrupulously. Even if he has done something wrong, when you give him a bad review, you should reason with him and do not involve personal attacks. Joking should be limited. As a human being, please be kind.
