Suffering from Depression
Feelings of sadness are common, but for some of us the sadness
lingers. If you have been in a state of sadness for more than
several weeks, you may be suffering from depression.
What is depression? Depression is a categorized as a state of
sadness that lingers for more than 2 weeks. Depression although
sometimes difficult to diagnose apart from normal sadness is
usually associated with the following symptoms.
Many depression sufferers see a change in their sleep patterns.
For many people they may be up late at night, get little sleep
or conversely sleep too much. Sufferers also experience a
noticeable loss of appetite and weight. This weight loss is not
due to a diet or regiment of exercise but mainly in the person
not having any urge to eat. They might be feeling irritability,
lose their concentration frequently and have feelings of
hopelessness. They might stop participating in activities, that
brought much joy to them in the past.
However, treatment is a bright spot in depression. There are
many treatments available to depression sufferers. And an
extremely large majority of depression sufferers respond well to
these treatments. Most treatments are pharmaceutical drugs that
require a prescription. If you or a loved one shows signs of
depression, it is advisable to seek a consultation with a
physician or psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
