so what,
Just like fever, diarrhea they are physical disease so, depression is a mental disease. Depression affects people in different ways. Most importantly Depression is treatable.
If you have depression, you are not alone.
When a person has depression, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning. It can cause pain for both the person with depression and those who care about him or her. Doctors call this condition “depressive disorder,” or “clinical depression.” It is a real illness. It is not a sign of a person’s weakness or a character flaw.
signs and symptoms for at least 2 weeks, you may be suffering from depression:
Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down”
Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
Appetite and/or weight changes
Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts
Restlessness, irritability
Persistent physical symptoms.
Many factors may play a role in depression, including genetics, brain biology and chemistry, and life events such as trauma, loss of a loved one, a difficult relationship, an early childhood experience, or any stressful situation.
Depression and anxiety can happen at any age, but often begins in the teens or early 20s or 30s. Most chronic mood and anxiety disorders in adults begin as high levels of anxiety in children. In fact, high levels of anxiety as a child could mean a higher risk of depression as an adult.
Even with optimal treatment, recovery fromdepression doesn’t happen overnight. Lead by example. Encourage the person to lead a healthier, mood-boosting lifestyle by doing it yourself maintain a positive outlook, eat better, exercise, and lean on others for support.
Most importantly listen people around. Don’t make fun if anyone tell you their internal trauma what they are suffering. Don’t judge people. your positivity and supports our society need it, make a world better place ❤
