What is Depression?
Depression is an all-encompassing low mood accompanied by a low self-esteem, and by loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.
- Major depression is almost always a disabling condition
- It begins to affect a persons life
- Their family is impacted by this disorder, also their work, and school life, and environments change
- Along with the things around the people, their sleeping and eating habits change, giving them a worsening general health
People who are treated for depression describe the feeling as sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps
Diagnosing this condition
- Some doctors use blood, and other laboratory tests to diagnose depression
- The most effective way, that most doctors use, is just talking to the patient, listening to how they feel, and the symptoms that the patient has
Other Treatments
- Another option is talk-therapy, when one goes to a psychiatrist and talks about what is going on in their life, and why they feel the way they do
- There are also different levels of Electroconvulsive therapy, where ones brain is shocked witha series of electrical pulses, often times called induced seizures.
