Although sometimes you see it all the color of an ant, life, with its sorrows and glories, is the most valuable thing you have and deserves that you fight for it, overcoming difficult moments and fully enjoying the satisfactory ones.
Depression is popularly described as the tendency to see everything dark or with no apparent exit, even the slightest problem. Such a state of mind causes serious inconveniences to the person who experiences it, due to their inability to see the future with different eyes.
However, even if you believe that it is impossible to get out of this black hole, it is possible to find another meaning to life. A deep sadness, in many occasions for no apparent reason, invades her and takes over her whole being, to the point of feeling unable to carry out such acts simple like going for a walk.
Darkness takes over the mind and relief is found only during dream. The person wants to disappear, not to see anyone, to do nothing. She no longer wants to live. Without realizing it, depression has become, little by little, her inseparable enemy.
According to recent studies, cases of depression increase considerably during the first months of the year. To what is due? Simply that the return of the daily routine, after the vacation period, becomes unbearable for many people, because once again they face real life, they return to the anxiety of family and work problems ... In short, to the fight for survival in an environment that is too hostile. Just the thought that he still has eleven months left to disappear and making dreams possible can plunge her into the blackest of depressions.
WOMEN: THE HIGHEST RISK SECTOR
Specialists affirm that women have a greater tendency to depression than man. The hormonal changes you experience throughout your life (menstruation, postpartum, menopause) influence to a large degree. In addition to their social situation, the lower level of education, difficulties in entering certain professions, incompatibilities between work and family, make it more vulnerable. But the most affected group is that of housewives, because isolation and loneliness are part of their daily routine as well as their work, sometimes exhausting, and almost never socially recognized. The result is continued frustration that, in most cases, could be avoided with love and dialogue.
VISIT THE DOCTOR
Today it is known that depression is an illness and, therefore both should be treated as such. Waiting for it to heal on its own would make the problem worse. Even if they want to help you and put all their love into it, sometimes the advice of friends and family can be harmful to the sick.
"Don't worry, go out, have fun, you'll see how it goes", it is not precisely the best remedy for a person who is completely sunk and does not want to go out or at the door of the street. That is why it is so important not to delay the visit to the doctor and, if the doctor considers it necessary, the psychologist to the psychiatrist. After a period of treatment, when you find yourself in the mood to fight and get out of depression, it will be the ideal time to offer our help, understanding and encouragement, but not before.
On many occasions, certain physical disorders are only psychosomatic manifestations of a masked depression, if you have some of these symptoms for more than a month consult your doctor: insomnia, lack of appetite or uncontrollable desire to eat, heart disorders, problems with sexual intercourse, physical exhaustion, continuous urge to cry, moodiness, headaches, abdominal and joint pain, constipation, dizziness and excessive sweating.
BEWARE OF DRUGS
The doctor is the only person indicated to establish a treatment with mainly antidepressant drugs. On the other hand, although its side effects are generally not very dangerous, self-medication can delay the healing process, and both the choice of medication and the appropriate dose will depend on the type and intensity of the depression.
Family members and people who have a depressive picture can be very helpful, trying to reinforce only positive thoughts. The family-psychiatrist combination will greatly benefit you.
