Is a person who seems to be feeling depressed , really depressed? This is a question people usually ask.
This question is always asked by a person who is not a victim of depression but if you ask a depressed person the same thing, what would you get as an answer? – Nothing, other than a silent weeping.
But now coming to the ground reality, it does seem to be existing. Or in other words, depression does exist. You cannot feel it until you yourself are a victim.
Though the medical terminology calls it a mental illness which can affect different people differently. Doctors also say that it is important to seek medical assistance if you’re feeling depressed.
Let us talk about the Symptoms.
A range of symptoms can be caused by Depression which includes persistent sadness and loss of interest, hopelessness and sleep, change in appetite and sleep, low self-worth, thoughts of death or suicide, tiredness and poor concentration and anxiety too.
Now let us dig into the Causes as well.
A combination of events and factors cause depression, rather than just a single event.
Then what can be possible and potential Treatment against it?
Depression can be treated with medication but psychotherapy is also required since the illness originally belongs to the department of psychology only. The victim thinks that he is a victim then his thinking keeps him to feel victim always and he remains a depression victim onward.
Here the psychotherapist is required to tell the person truth and make him believe the reality that you can come out of it and there is a long life awaiting to welcome you.
The length of treatment continues in accordance with the the severity of the depression and the treatment plan. Mostly people with depression can succeed to make a full recovery if the right treatment and support is tendered.
It’s time now, we look at the reality. The reality says that depression does exist. It also says that the solution to this mental problem also exists.
In reality, depression is more than just feeling blue, and it also is not a weakness. For a person who is depressed, it can be tough to do normal activities, and for him it can feel like life isn’t worth living.
There are a few Risk factors also involved in this mental ailment.
Depression can reach to anyone anywhere. But one bare fact about it tells that it is twice as common in women as in men. Often it is first noticed in the late teens or 20s, but it can develop and show its ugly face at any age.
