What is Depression?

Sample 1
More than just being sad as we often mean when
we use the word depression, it entails more than
just one emotion. It is basically characterized
by feeling sad, helpless, and hopeless. It may be
related to different biological influences such
as malnutrition, heredity, hormonal imbalance,
changing seasons, stress, illness, substance
abuse, neurotransmitter malfunction, long-term
exposure to dampness and mold, spine injury, and
prolonged exposure to aerosol. Nevertheless, a
specific cause cannot be pointed out. A person
with history of depression in the family may not
experience being depressed. Furthermore, there
are different social aspects that affect an
individuals emotional stability. For instance, a
sad life event such as death in the family may
cause grief which may lead to being depressed.
Its the same way how stressful or unhappy family
atmosphere can affect peoples self-esteem and
lead to depression.

A depressed person may prefer staying in her room
more than usual. He or she may also have trouble
concentrating and getting motivated doing
something. Feeling tired all the time is usual
too. Often, even if the person feels very tired,
he or she will find it hard to fall asleep. Also,
weight gain or weigh loss is very common.
Moreover, a depressed person is likely to be sad
all the time without knowing why. He/ She may
feel like crying even if nothing particularly bad
happened. Depression is a condition that affects
people of every race, economic status, or age.
However, it has been reported that girls get more
affected than guys.

Not everybody really recognizes the severity of
this condition. Some people misconstrue the
situation. They sometimes respond to the
depressed persons low energy with criticism.
They would yell at the person for being lazy or
not trying harder. Some people believe that
depression is just an attitude or a certain mood
that a person can easily shake off. Even people
experiencing depression may not always be able to
tell what they are going through. They might
think that they are just weak and may cause them
to hide their real situation and avoid getting
help. This is because depression clouds someones
mind they get overly anxious and pessimistic.

The best way to treat depression is through
Psychotherapy which is mostly counseling. This
does not only include the client but also the
family and other people who are involved to the
person. Medication may also be prescribed if the
person still cannot overcome the condition. This
is to avoid serious mental depression which can
lead to impulsive behavior. These anti-stress
medicines are proven to be fast and effective.
