This assignment provides an opportunity for me to reflect on a conflict which occurred some time ago but is indelibly etched in my memory and is an avenue for me to take a critical look at the situation and ensure that it does not reoccur.
It would be great to really convince myself that the root cause of the conflict was truly addressed and the solutions were effective enough to avoid any relapse or re-occurrence.

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.” (Parekh, 2017)
I always thought it was a silly condition and figured that people who suffered with it were simply weak and lacked self-control. It is only when you come face to face with a beast, you understand first-hand how ugly it can be. I can now identify with the suicidal persons whom I have judged so harshly in the past as I can clearly say that my faith and the love of those around me rescued me from those unhealthy
