Spleen, Handra, boredom - not different names of the same name? So what is it - depression? Word itself comes from Latin «Depressio» - Suppression, depression. This is a mental disorder that invade a man's mood, its emotional sphere. Depression is a serious illness, hurt and suffering not only to those who are sick, but also their native and friends. The number of people suffering from depression is impossible to immediately name. But still it is known that the disorder is not rare, and so common that he is called «cold» Among mental diseases.
But not always when the life tone is reduced, we can talk about depression; This depression includes several components. First, the mood is depressed, sullen when I don't want anything (in this case it is not just a comma expression). According to one of the hypotheses, depression is a protective mechanism: when a person is breaking up of non-executable desires, one of the ways to keep yourself - to refuse desires at all.
Secondly, the perception of the world is distorted. The future is seen exclusively in the dark colors. Man torments insomnia or, on the contrary, all the time clone in sleep. There is no physically forces, you need to make incredible efforts to just get out of bed. In addition to the sense of meaninglessness of life and perception of oneself as a complete loser, with a deep depression of a person often torments the feeling of guilt - and, as a rule, absolutely unreasonable. Depression is also characterized by a sense of constant exhausting fatigue, passivity and indifference to life and work. Externally, a man experiencing depression looks sluggish, in the eyes - emptiness and extension.
Need to take into account that from time to time depression is experiencing almost all people. In Pushkin's letters, starting from 1834, such phrases come across: «I have a decisive splin…», «I started a lot, but there is no hunting…» Or L. letter. Andreeva: «Before insomnia began. I do not sleep everything - in the head of the Clauster. I'm unhealthy… Visible reasons as if not. Invisible - somewhere deep, in the shower. Everything hurts, I can not work, I throw the started». Familiar and surprisingly similar symptoms, is not true?
There is no man who would not know what a reduced mood, a sense of depression and hopelessness. Often we find excuses to your gloomy mood, but do we reveal the true cause?
Different people talk about different and even opposite sources of their condition. Real reasons for depression can be in an individual predisposition to the experience of heavy emotional states: increased sensitivity, subtlety, vulnerability, vulnerability. The people who brought up in conflict families are prone to depression, and in childhood they often experienced a feeling of resentment, fear, humiliation and depression.
Among the causes of depression also chronic stress when a person feels uncertainty for a long period of tomorrow, lives in instability, social and financial unprotected conditions. Depression occurs when many years have to experience humiliation from another, close and meaningful person, and for various reasons can not break painful relations for him. Also, the symptoms of depression may appear on the background of a somatic disease or as a side effect when taking drugs, and sometimes as a result of the abuse of psychoactive substances.
Under certain circumstances, people of any warehouse may suffer depressive disorder. Certain aspects of our personality, however, can make us more located to the disease - the presentation of increased requirements, the inability to relax, reluctant treatment for help, a tendency to constant anxiety, self-confidence. Depression is less peculiar to people flexible and compliant, confident, calm for their social positions and able to speak with others about their problems without difficulty. Nevertheless, cheerful and active people, although less often fall into depression, can also experience such a disorder, but they are experiencing such a state is sharper - it is so alien to their personality.
Every person in his life has to experience various shades of mood. There is nothing abnormal or strange in that we react to the loss of work or a loved one, plunging into gloomy thoughts. When such feelings are disproported with what happened, extremely sharply pronounced and violates our work and daily life, we can talk about one of the forms of depressive disorder.
I am experiencing a big loss in your personal life, for example, the death of a loved one, we experience some symptoms of depression: it is difficult to sleep, I don't want to eat, do what you need. Such symptoms after incurred loss for a while - the phenomenon is normal, if gradually, as you humble with your grief, your feelings are returned to the usual state. You are still whining for the deceased, but you already have an interest in other people, you start paying attention to how you look, again pleases the food and outstanding a sunny day.
Of course, it happens that we feel sad and having experienced a big loss. Yesterday you lost the keys to the apartment, today quarreled with a close person, and tomorrow there is a unpleasant conversation with the boss. «Around one failure», - Think you. Pessimism and despondency can occur without any special reasons. Nevertheless, you continue to cope with your daily concerns, it means that you have the mood in normal boundaries.
Depressed state is not a clinical depression. Sadness and anxiety - ordinary, healthy reaction in people in loss and trouble. After a serious loss, such symptoms are considered normal for about 2 months. But if such a reaction is stubbornly held longer, it can grow into a painful state when a person can no longer live in a normal life.
An important indicator of the difference between ordinary sadness and clinical depression is an internal self-esteem. In the state of depression, people are constantly fighting with bad thoughts about themselves, about life, about their future. They feel soft and helpless, unable to communicate with other people. Of course, in the usual state of bad mood or despondency, people also think about their lives and the future, but in general they do not lose his spiritual equilibrium and remain as they are, do not fall in spirit and maintain performance.
In any of its manifestations, depression is a disease that distorts the perception of man himself, other people and the surrounding world. With such a wide individual scattering of symptoms - from the inability to focus and perform work to severe sleep disorders - everyone who suffered a depressive disorder recognizes that the disease is violated almost all areas of life.
Depression is not always a person's need for rest, in the stop. If for a long time you are experiencing depression, this may indicate that you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown from overwork, and at least a few days should be a break.
If you are worried about depression - this is a sign that, perhaps you live in the wrong or want. Something important need to be changed in your life so that the mood has improved, and the vital energy appeared.
If you have pronounced abilities in some specific area and do not implement your purpose, you may have an depressed mood and depression. Self-expression - an important condition for mental health of a bright and gifted person.
«I'll think about it tomorrow»
It is impossible to dwell - think all the time about the same thing, about something sore and severe. Remember that he advises a neighbor abandoned wife Nae in the film «Love and pigeons»? «You get up, do not lie. Duma is a peroxide, here you can do something, there you can see…» Otherwise, life is narrowing and concentrated at one point - hopelessness and despair, and there is no place for life.
Remember Russian proverbs more often: «The morning is wiser than the evening» or famous words scarlett about’Hara Is «Gone by wind»: «I'll think about it tomorrow». And tomorrow will be all different and «about it», maybe it will not be necessary to think. Or, if you trust modern writers more, you can contact. Pelevin: «I did not like their commissioner, - I said, - This Furmanov. In the future, we may not work». «Do not score yourself by the fact that it has nothing to do, - said Chapaev. - To the future you are talking about, you need to be able to get. Perhaps you will fall into such a future where there will be no Furmanov».
And, of course, look for and search - yourself and that good and bright, which is in the life of each of us. Strive to see not an empty half in the glass, up to the middle of the water filled, namely this filled part.
