A First Person Narrative of Major Depression Disorder

First Person Narrative Major Depression Disorder (MDD) My name is (student name) and I am 29 years old, living with my spouse in a rented place and working in a Bank as a relationship executive. We knew each other very well before getting married and used to see each other in college. We got married about two years back and my wife immediately wanted kids but we have not yet conceived although the doctor says everything is normal.

I started to hate my dad and looked up to my working mother who was raising us as well as doing two day jobs. I am the eldest son with three siblings, a brother and two sisters. My Mother did a lot for us but the stress of work and raising us got to her and with time she became ultra self righteous, controlling and demanding (Becker et al., 2008). I started working from the age of 18 in a restaurant as a waiter and used to help my mom in running finances of the house and well being of siblings. I met my spouse in college and brought her home to meet my mother; Mother disliked her without many reasons and wanted me to leave her or leave her house immediately. I stayed with my mother for the next six months but later on I got married to the same girl and moved out. This action enraged my mother saying that she didnt want to see my face and that I should not be present at her funeral.
