Understanding depression

Hello, everyone and welcome back to my pres

or welcome to my pres

um

presentation.

I

had to rerecord this because

um uh my technology did not work and there was no

volume but I have double check now and there is volume.

Hello, my name is Munzo

and I shown on the screen today.

I will be discussing the topic of depression,

trigger warning for people who may be affected

by the following categories,

suicide, death, loss, grief, and dark topics.

If you're still here, let's get started.

So if you look at the screen and follow the chain to the first topic,

you'll see

what the first category is. What exactly is depression,

which if you don't know what that is today, you're going to learn.

Now, moving on depression is classified

as a mood disorder.

W which is when your mood shifts from normal or happy to one feeling or emotion,

which is often sadness, anger, fear, or shock, main s signs that you

may be developing depression or feeling sad, mad, afraid,

and moody towards others.

Also by having loss of motivation and pleasure and hobbies,

difficult sleeping or not sleeping,

voices in your head,

demoting you and criticizing you thoughts of harming

your death and difficulty with doing simple tasks.

These are

the main ones that are noticeable to others and yourself.

Depression is not an illness but a mood disorder and has to be officially diag diag

diagnosed by a professional to access the

medication required to heal from depression.

Moving on to my next topic,

the basic symptoms and yes, it is what it sounds like.

People not some secret spell or magic.

There are 10 out of 14 symptoms which include

feelings of sadness and dark thoughts, low esteem about thyself,

weight gain or loss, sleep, sleep deprivation,

and sleeping too much loss of interest in life, sad mood, energy loss or fatigue,

self blame and suicidal thoughts.

The most common symptoms found in patients are sad feelings

and the least common found in patience is weight loss.

The main limitations that come with having

depression are sort sorted into five categories,

social activities, home life slash family relationships,

private activities and word or school motivation.

Symptoms can vary from each person

due to past experiences and moments, moments currently happening in their life.

I forgot to include that.

Um,

the amount of people that are most affected by depression is

over 60% out of 100 which is crazy to me.

At least you can have your own opinions but don't have the wrong one.

Connecting this to my next topic,

which is what age group suffers the most.

The

which is all about how the 60% of population varies from each age group.

The lowest age for depression is mid forties to fifties.

This is because the main group affected by depression is either started

in early adulthood or old age due to that being the lowest points of their life.

40 to 50 year olds often don't experience this due to already being an adult and fully

and aren't made to feel old as they're in their midlife.

The events that um cause early or late depression

can include adulthood,

unemployment,

unemployment

loss of loved ones, divorce, marriage problems

and economic or money issues.

However, in old age,

um

depression that causes or

what old age

suffers from

is losing physical future features, poor health and loneliness,

which can lead to depression.

The main causes for all age groups that lead to early

or late depression is mostly um puberty changes in life,

maturity or growing up

and starting a new path because depression

um

can

occur when something changes in our life and

it doesn't change for the better.

Moving on to my next topic, which is the relationship effect.

And what that basically means is how having depression can

and may have a restraint on relationships like family,

which includes siblings, cousins, parents, aunts, uncles and others,

and romantic relationships, boyfriend, girlfriend or just a significant other,

which can be avoided by not dating in high school.

However, if you're an adult, I don't care what you do, you do, you boo.

So to start up, there are two ways depression can affect a relationship.

There could be many strains on a relationship but how they,

they can also be strong

as

someone in the relationship, struggling from depression

may be more opened up and

um more emotional.

The main um

things depression does to a relationship are

um you're no longer doing activities you both used to like

due to uh depression being a main priority,

you experience self esteem issues that

negatively affect the relationship as mental

thoughts

overtake um

you

as a quote from the article from

Julia. Um

How does depression affect a romantic relationship?

Says some people with depression may also question whether their

partner truly wants to be with them and you isolate

and following that quote,

you isolate yourself more from your partner as depression

can feel you're alone even if you have someone

um

who loves you

because you may feel as a burden and the partner may have

no idea how to support the other partner or how they're feeling.

However, the main reason there's a strain on relationship

um is

um the person dealing with uh depression

has a lack of interest

or energy loss of passion and career choices and it um

uh lack of emotion or love, which is mainly needed for a relationship. A

main example of this happening in a real life situation

is

this circle which we call Ginny and Georgia

because we're talking about the most known

character that has depression in a show and

is in a relationship.

If he was in Miss Phillipos class, he would not be dating anyways.

But that's another day topic.

His name is Marcus Baker.

He's a dude.

Um

Marcus Baker is dating the main character Jenny,

the main character Jenny

um until they break up due to Marcus's depression

season two.

Episode five is when we truly see how

Marcus has started to develop and fall into depression

and describe it more

in the previous season.

The only time we see how he struggles with depression

is when he describes to Jenny how his best friend died

la uh last year because of cancer as done by research before using the source,

the TV show trauma and loss of others is the main reason

why people may fall into depression.

In episode five of season two of the show, it starts off with a monologue by Marcus

of him describing his depression,

which leads me to believe there are two types of depression,

short term and long term.

Marcus describes his as long term as he describes it,

something that hits you like a smell. One minute is there and one minute it's not.

And when you're in it, it's bad. All you can do is pretend

which um reveals how depression can be hidden with just smiling and acting happy,

which leads me to believe more that depression can also

be um hidden and not only expressed by sadness.

Also, he describes how valid people

saying I'm here.

I understand or useless as you never know what's going on in someone's head,

which just shows how depression even while in a relationship can make you

feel lonely as you wish they could help you feel less empty.

In another episode,

Marcus and Jenny break up,

she blames him for the breakup,

but he tries to explain how he didn't have space for her pain.

But as being in a relationship is more important to her,

she doesn't understand which just proves Marcus's point

as she does not really there for him. And

this shows how having depression and having a relationship at

the same time is not beneficial for both of them.

This may be just a show, but it's a simple way

to show how this may happen in the real world.

A dating, probably not the best idea for two words, heartbreak

or he cheated on me anyways. Now moving on to the next slide, how can I help?

And this is often the question you may ask

yourself when a loved one is going through depression.

So first,

there are three main steps that you can help identify if a loved one has depression,

if they seem to have a worsen mood than before they participate

in fewer family activities and just events in general involving others.

And they have to start

and they start to have more depressive

thinking and actions toward others or themselves.

After identifying the depression, you can move on to the three s's support,

share and safety.

Lots of ways to support someone

you believe that have depression are talking about your concern for them,

explaining thoughts on depression and how you think

and why you believe they might have it

remind them of your support and others providing,

provide medical resources other than just family members,

distract them with positive things, activities

and friends

and most importantly be patient as their actions and words towards you and

others can come from dealing with depression and such problems with mental health.

Now, the last

is not just for them, but for you

be careful not to lose your own mental health

as your own.

You may lose your own joy by trying to help people.

You may feel discouraged about not being able to help

someone but it doesn't help if you also become them.

Don't let yourself be manipulated but don't be manipulating people either. OK?

Right. At least in my opinion, hope that's not yours.

Hope that's yours. So yikes if not, I might need that category about therapy. Next.

Moving on

two main things that can help with depression are

help and medicine. Yahoo are manipulative. This is for you. Trust I got you.

And this is all the resources you can reach out for support. First.

Firstly, some free resources.

If you have a mobile phone, you can text 741741 or go to their

website crisis text line.org, which is a free 24 helpline as they believe.

And

one call can change your life as this is the foundation of their company.

Another resource that costs money is therapy.

It can be beneficial as you are less alone or feel less alone as another person

can help you go through the hardships without sacrificing

your health like they may do in a relationship.

And lastly, medication is another resource

and is most recommended but is not free. Antidepressants are the most common.

Um And the cost is determined by where you purchase

and

the insurance you have.

Now the next slide prices for help, which is all about how medicine and therapy cost,

how the counseling works.

The counselor will ask you how you feel and what is the root cause of your depression?

They will send you homework to help control depression and figure out what trig

triggers or triggered the initial

initial depression.

Um

They will try to help you and understand your experiences and

slowly help you overcome depression over months and times,

you can call 9726919570 to book a session in Dallas, Texas. Each ses

session is $150

not per person scheduling online. There is a 24 hour cancellation fee

in person appointments.

They are located at 6525 HZ

Horizon

roads

suite. Um,

130 Rockwall Texas, 75032.

You must go to at least one in person appointment to set up an online personal plan.

And medicine prices vary,

but the lowest is

uh PROzac only $5 per dosage.

And with insurance, it is the most affordable.

It treats depression, O CD, eating disorders and panic attacks.

However, the most effective medicine

that is not insured is

Wardo

XTW, which is about

$477 per doses.

It is unpopular mainly because of the price,

which definitely makes sense unless you're rich.

I wouldn't recommend

there are much cheaper options that are insured

as shown on the screen

as shown

um

online, I

meant

um

moving on

the last category is art therapy.

Art therapy is something you could do on your own that will help with depression.

Um

Types of art therapy are paintings, drawing, dance,

song and much more people often discover how to explore

their feelings and gain a deeper understanding of their depression.

A quote that most people who are going through art therapy, say art, the

art became my voice when words failed me,

which just shows how art therapy can help people who struggle with.

Uh

speaking about their depression, art therapy is still in the

experimental phase and it's not

a complete remedy but

is effective for both. Oops, I lied. Um

My sources is my last circle. Here are all my sources. I have about 10 of them on there.

They may be a little blurry,

but um all of them are also listed on each of the circles.

Thank you for listening to my presentation. Love having you

have a good day.
