Introduction to Depression
Depression, the most widespread disease of our time, is the disorder that produces greater disability in the world and is also a major cause of mortality.
People with depression are at greater risk of violating their lives at a rate 30 times higher than the general population.
Depression is characterized by a mood disorder in which the person appears to be chained to the suffering, unable to leave him.
All we have ever had the feeling of being depressed, because at some point in life we have felt depressed, sad, unhappy, rejected, with feelings of unworthiness and guilt, because we have lost something important in our lives or simply because the circumstances of life lead us to look to the future without hope.
Human beings must face continuing difficulties in a life full of contrasts and complexities that leads us to incur feelings of disappointment, sadness and apathy that accompany risk situations, where even self-destructive behaviors may appear that conceal underlying suicidal wishes. The ideal state is not the absence of problems but to live with intensity and good and bad experiences and face hard enough the challenge imposed on us by life.
Depression not only relates to the person suffering but also have an impact on his family. After you install the depression, we altered the emotional life, professional, labor, social, sexual and physical health. Symptoms include sadness, irritability, crying, guilt, distractibility, indecisiveness, impaired memory, concentration, motivation, isolation, sleep disturbances, weight, appetite and sexuality, perception that the problems are overwhelming, suicidal ideas, passivity, inertia, difficulty in social relationships, dependency, loss of motivation and ability to enjoy and pursue happiness.
Everyone is exposed to pass through a state of depression or being near someone who is well, hence the importance of understanding and an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, to inform us about the issue and be able to recognize in ourselves the presence of depressive symptoms, their severity and impact on our lives and how we enjoy or suffer the reality, to make some efforts within our reach if the situation permits, or to achieve a prompt attention to a professional.
Just seeing depression as a totality we can try to understand it, confront it and overcome it and always within the unique history and unique for each of us, because obviously some people become depressed more easily than others with the same circumstances. It is essential to appreciate our potential as human beings and admit the possibility of inner transformation.
