I am going to talk about melancholia. Do you know what melancholia is? Melancholia is a feeling of great sadness. You do not know why you are sad, and worst of all, you may want to commit suicide.★ Link to the website of melancholia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melancholia
Two years ago, one of my friends had a quarrel with her boyfriend. Actually, her boyfriend just made a small mistake, and we all thought it was O.K., but my friend was sad, and I could not understand why she was so sad; thus, I did not know how to comfort her.
She stood alone on the outside of the classroom, and I was in the classroom. Then I went to the bathroom, and I saw her touching the wall and climbing it. She wanted to jump from the fourth floor. GOD! What a terrible scene!
Of course, I rushed to her immediately, and I was so happy that I prevented the tragedy.
It finally proved that my friend had melancholia, and I persuaded her to go to the hospital. Now she recovers from melancholia, and lives a happy life.
Everyone of us may get melancholia no matter who you are. Superstars or common men all have the possibility to get melancholia. For example, the superstar 張國榮 who had melancholia, jumped from the building, and my friend who had melancholia also wanted to commit suicide.
It does happen in our daily life. We all have to concern this problem, and that is why I want to introduce this topic--melancholia.

But do you know the specific causes to cause melancholia? There are many causes to cause melancholia as follows.
First, family problem is one of the causes to cause melancholia. Family is like a harbor. We all need a harbor no matter where we are as long as we live in this world. For instance, if we are tired, we can go back to our home, and there are loved and familiar people giving us warmness and sweetness. But if one's family has problems, it does hurt to the one, and he or she will feel depressed.

Fifth, politics may be one of the causes. Some people may get melancholia because of politics. Frankly speaking, our country's politics are a mess. For example, in the Double Tenth Day, it is our country's birthday. So ironic! Nobody celebrates for her. Then, what do people do at this day? Well, to tear Taiwan is the final end.
When watching political news on the TV, many people may feel angry and depressed.
