Depression - An Illness or Fashion? Part 2

Thus, the opinion of the second.
Depression - a disease.

Depression (from Lat. Depression suppression) - mental illness, usually occurring after negative events in a person's life, but often develops without any apparent reason.

Argued that the depression - the illness is very rich and very poor (Rejoice, the middle class!). Gossip says that the rich people who can afford anything, anything you want, quickly pall their comfortable existence. Like, having tried all the entertainment world, they are millionaires, these are beginning to be depressed, and all that "mere mortals" would instantly dispel sadness, for them is not new and boring. The second category of people who are prone to depression, according to popular belief, suffer from their own poverty. Like, people living below the poverty line, feel inferior and defective, they are sadly dragged its existence and can not do anything (or think they can not) do about it. There is a misconception opinion ... (the middle class - ready!).

Oddly, but in reality people are depressed completely, regardless of their intellectual level and social status.

Depression - a serious disease that affects not only our moods and thoughts, but also the body. It has a strong influence on all spheres of human existence - the way a person sleeps and eats like perceives itself and its surrounding objects and people. Depression does not equate with the lethargic mood or infirmity, and it is hardly possible to defeat the effort of will. Depressed people can not just "pull themselves together" and get better. Like any other mental illness, depression should be treated, otherwise the symptoms may last a week, month and even a few years. Appropriate treatment usually helps everyone who calls him.

Depression, like any other disease, can flow from one form to another.

Psychiatrists often distinguish three main types of depressive disorders, which, in turn, may significantly differ from each other symptoms, the strength with which these symptoms are expressed, and the duration of the disease.

Major depression. On it may indicate symptoms (they are all listed below) that interfere with a person to fully work, study, eat, sleep and enjoy everything that usually gives him pleasure. Such a strong mental disorder may occur only once, but often happens a few times in my life.

Less severe type of depression is a mental depression, which manifested in prolonged, chronic symptoms that are not globally interfere with a person there, but do it the existence of defective. Typically, patients in this disorder may occasionally fall into a deep depression.

Bipolar psychosis, or manic-depressive disorder. This form of depression is less common than the previous two. In manic-depressive psychosis is characterized by cyclical mood changes, such as mania or passion for something suddenly gives way to depression. In some cases, these changes occur very rapidly, but mostly it occurs gradually. Being in a cycle of depression, the patient may experience some or all of the symptoms of depression.

In the manic cycle, the same person becomes overly active, talkative, the energy just gushes out of him the key. Such condition often causes serious harm to humans and its reputation, the patient begins to behave strangely society, condemning all who do not share his views and the like. During a manic episode a person is unable to realize all their grand ideas and Napoleon's plans, which are created in his head, and that threaten to exacerbate his mental illness.

Signal to the alarm is usually represented by multiple symptoms of depression and mania. We should not forget that people who suffer from manic-depressive disorder may experience all or only a few of the following symptoms.

Thus, depression:

- Prolonged sadness, anxiety, feeling "empty";

- Excessive talkativeness;
- Sverhmerno grandiose intentions;
- Excessive talkativeness;

Thus, if at least some of these symptoms you notice me in person or in someone from your family, you should immediately contact a doctor who tells you how to deal with this disease. Do not think that mental disorders may touch someone else, but not you.

In some ways you can help yourself, the main thing to realize that depressed mood, feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and desolation are part of depression and may not affect the real state of things that surround you. The second asset in the struggle with this mental disorder are your relatives and friends. For only they can give you much needed support and love.

And now try to compare the symptoms of a serious illness called "depression" with the state, which is so readily grant for this disease your friends or relatives. But not if your daughter has just left the kitchen, throwing on the move: "I can not do, depression is probably"? Does not your husband, watching retreating into the darkness once smoked a cigarette butt next to them on the balcony of cigarettes, tells you the sepulchral voice: "At work, things are bad, I have depression?

Reassure the family, because most likely they have no depression, but simply a temporary fatigue or low mood due to, again, time troubles, which are held and resolved as quickly as they arise. Everything we know about the materiality of thought, and especially the word, so let's stop our lives to proclaim the various problems and serious illnesses such as depression. Psychiatrists aware of the most powerful weapon - self-hypnosis.
Do not point a weapon against themselves, and do not call every trifling trouble and sadness connected with it, scary, well-known to every inhabitant metropolis, in a word - Depression ...
