The reasons<\/h2>\n
There are many reasons that can lead to the onset of the disease. These include dramatic experiences associated with losses (a loved one, social status, a certain status in society, work). In this case, reactive depression occurs, which occurs as a reaction to an event, a situation from external life.<\/p>\n
The causes of depression can manifest themselves in stressful situations (nervous breakdown) caused by physiological or psychosocial factors. In this case, the social cause of the disease is associated with a high pace of life, high competitiveness, an increased level of stress, uncertainty about the future, social instability, and difficult economic conditions. Modern society cultivates and therefore imposes a number of values \u200b\u200bthat doom humanity to constant dissatisfaction with itself. This is a cult of physical as well as personal perfection, a cult of personal well-being and strength. Because of this, people are very upset, they begin to hide personal problems, as well as failures. If the psychological as well as somatic causes of depression do not reveal themselves, then this is how endogenous depression manifests itself.<\/p>\n
The causes of depression are also associated with a lack of biogenic amines, which include serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.<\/p>\n
The reasons can be provoked by the sunless weather, darkened rooms. Thus, seasonal depression manifests itself in autumn and winter.<\/p>\n
The causes of depression can manifest themselves as a result of side effects of drugs (benzodiazepines, corticosteroids). Often, this condition disappears on its own after the drug is discontinued.<\/p>\n
The depressive state caused by taking antipsychotics can last up to 1.5 years with a vital character. In some cases, the reasons lie in the abuse of sedatives, as well as sleeping pills, cocaine, alcohol, psychostimulants.<\/p>\n
The causes of depression can be triggered by somatic diseases (Alzheimer's disease, influenza, traumatic brain injury, atherosclerosis of the arteries of the brain).<\/p>\n
Causes of depression<\/h2>\n
In psychiatry, the causes of depression are conventionally divided into 2 types:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Physiological.<\/strong>
\nThe disease is associated with hormonal surges.<\/li>\n- Psychological.<\/strong>
\nDue to experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPhysiological reasons include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Fatigue, overwork, lack of energy.<\/li>\n
- Drinking a lot of alcohol.<\/li>\n
- Concussion, stroke.<\/li>\n
- Climax.<\/li>\n
- In women, the period after childbirth.<\/li>\n
- Insomnia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Psychological reasons:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Situations that provoked mental trauma.<\/strong>
\nDeath of a relative, violence, accident. Often there are situations where a person develops depression due to illness. This will require the help of a specialist, since depression can be prolonged.<\/li>\n- A state of constant excitement.<\/strong>
\nProblems at work, debts, divorce, scandals with loved ones, betrayal of friends – all these together have a strong effect on the personality.<\/li>\n- Childhood injuries.<\/strong>
\nEverything that people were afraid of in childhood, and all the events that happened to them leave an imprint on the memory. Already in adulthood, these events emerge in a person, from which depression then develops, disturbing thoughts, phobias and panic attacks appear.<\/li>\n- Frustration.<\/strong>
\nA state when a person cannot get what he wants and becomes depressed from this.<\/li>\n- A crisis.<\/strong>
\nIt is observed in people at the age of 40-50, they take stock of life and begin to regret some events. This leads to poor mood and depression.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTypes of depression in psychiatry<\/h2>\n
In some cases, depression becomes a concomitant symptom of serious pathologies. Common types of depression that require psychiatric treatment include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Manic-depressive personality disorder. They manifest themselves in pathological fluctuations in behavior. The manic phase is characterized by heightened mood, hyperexcitation, attempts to implement some valuable ideas. After that, the patient is immersed in apathy, loses interest in the world around him, feels depressed and indifferent. The depressive period lasts longer than the arousal time.<\/li>\n
- Psychogenic depression develops as a result of severe mental trauma. For an adult, this is a situation of loss of a loved one, physical violence, extreme events (terrorist attacks, catastrophes). Most often it is a reaction of the intact psyche to overload.<\/li>\n
- The causes of psychotic depressive injury are a hereditary predisposition to mental illness or head trauma, leading to impaired brain function.<\/li>\n
- The course of a serious physical illness is sometimes complicated by depressive disorders. In most cases, this happens to cancer patients or people who, as a result of trauma, have lost the ability to move freely and live fully. This type of depression is called somatogenic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Classification of depression<\/h2>\n
Depression can occur for a variety of reasons. For example, as a result of bad events in a person's life, or for no reason.<\/p>\n
Psychologists distinguish the following types of depression:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Clinical.<\/strong>
\nSymptoms of clinical depression appear gradually. During the period of exacerbation, a person is observed: bad mood, inhibition of actions, lack of interest in everything. The patient constantly experiences fear, guilt, phobias, suicidal thoughts appear. The reasons why a person suffers from this form of depression can be hidden in difficult experiences. Symptoms last for 14 days.<\/li>\n- Chronic.<\/strong>
\nCompared with clinical depression, this form of depression is more severe and can be observed in a patient for 2 years. The main symptoms of the manifestation are: insomnia, loss of appetite, menstrual irregularities in women, decreased libido, headache. The personality becomes closed and does not see the meaning in its existence.<\/li>\n- Bipolar.<\/strong>
\nThis type of depression is also called manic depression. This is a severe form of the disease, which manifests itself in the form of sudden mood swings, but a person spends most of the time in deep despondency. The patient becomes irritable, uncommunicative, and his actions and thoughts slow down. This state can change dramatically in the opposite direction. Then the person briefly becomes joyful, cheerful, feels a surge of strength and euphoria. Then this state changes sharply to depressive again.<\/li>\n- Endogenous.<\/strong>
\nThis is also a severe form of the disease that can change a person's condition in a few weeks. The patient abruptly stops communicating with loved ones, leaving the house and eating food. The disease manifests itself on the physical level: a person's skin becomes pale, the face ceases to express emotions, and movements become stiff.<\/li>\n- Disguised.<\/strong>
\nDepression got this name due to the fact that it disguises itself as other diseases. For example, a person can be treated for VSD, osteochondrosis for a long time, considering that the disease affects the change of mood. Most often, the patient manifests itself with hypochondria, he is constantly afraid for his health and refuses to believe that he does not have an incurable disease.<\/li>\n- Psychogenic.<\/strong>
\nThis type of depression develops after the impact on the human psyche. For example, a patient may stop communicating, enjoy life after the death of a loved one or in difficult life circumstances. If he cannot cope with this condition on his own, then he needs the help of specialists.<\/li>\n- Psychotic.<\/strong>
\nIt develops in people who have a predisposition to mental disorders, as well as in those who have suffered a head injury. In addition to the main symptoms, the patient develops hallucinations, phobias and delusional thoughts.<\/li>\n- Neurotic.<\/strong>
\nThis type of disease most often manifests itself in persons who, since childhood, are not self-confident, withdrawn and suspicious. In addition to a constant bad mood, a person is accompanied by a headache, digestive problems and a breakdown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nRisk group<\/h2>\n
At certain times in our lives, each of us may experience depression. However, recent studies have shown that there are certain social groups that are more prone to depressive disorder.<\/p>\n
These include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- abused children;<\/li>\n
- people over 45;<\/li>\n
- participants in hostilities;<\/li>\n
- creative personalities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Adolescents and people with low self-esteem are also at risk.<\/p>\n
For many women, depression can appear after 40 years of age against the background of hormonal changes caused by menopause.<\/p>\n
Symptoms<\/h2>\n
All symptoms of depression, according to ICD-10, were divided into typical (main) and additional ones. Depression is diagnosed when there are two main symptoms and three additional symptoms.<\/p>\n
Typical (main) symptoms of depression are:<\/p>\n
– depressed mood, which does not depend on external circumstances, lasting from two weeks or more;<\/p>\n
– persistent fatigue for a month;<\/p>\n
– anhedonia, which is manifested in the loss of interest from previously enjoyable activities.<\/p>\n
Additional symptoms of the disease:<\/p>\n
– pessimism;<\/p>\n
– Feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, guilt, or fear;<\/p>\n
– inability to make decisions and concentrate attention;<\/p>\n
– low self-esteem;<\/p>\n
– thoughts of death or suicide;<\/p>\n
– decreased or increased appetite;<\/p>\n
– sleep disorders, manifested in insomnia or oversleeping.<\/p>\n
Depression is diagnosed when symptoms have lasted for at least two weeks. However, the diagnosis is made even after a shorter period with severe symptoms.<\/p>\n
As for childhood depression, according to statistics, it is much less common than adult depression.<\/p>\n
Symptoms of childhood depression: loss of appetite, nightmares, school performance problems, the appearance of aggressiveness, alienation.<\/p>\n
Cyclothymia<\/h2>\n
With this disease, a mixed form of the disease is obvious: the patient experiences minor depression or hypomania for a long time. Cyclothymia is diagnosed if symptoms have been present for 2 or more years, provided that most of this time the person is in a depressive state, alternating with manias. The disease can spill over into bipolar disorder, but this is only in a few cases.<\/p>\n
Against the background of hypomania of a chronic or cyclothymic nature, periods of activity can be observed when a person reaches heights in some business, feels the objective inclinations of a leader in himself and really gains success. In most cases, over time, a person experiences serious difficulties in communicating with people, with adaptation in society, which is expressed in frequent changes in activities, divorces, abandoned education, job changes, and so on. Cyclothymia often leads a person to the use of substances that alter consciousness.<\/p>\n

Neurotic<\/h3>\n
Neurotic depression is characteristic of a separate category of persons who are distinguished by indecision in making decisions at certain points, uncompromising, combined with uncertainty, straightforwardness.<\/p>\n
Frustration begins with the emergence of ideas about an unfair attitude towards one's personality, its underestimation, on the part of others, leadership, loved ones, with a decrease in mood, an increase in tearfulness.<\/p>\n

Postpartum<\/h3>\n
Postpartum depression is common in young women. It develops two weeks after giving birth. The birth of a baby is a critical period in the life of any woman, so the body of a woman in labor is very vulnerable. The reasons for such depressive disorders are abrupt hormonal changes against the background of increased responsibility for the child and the psyche of a young mother (depression before childbirth increases the chance of relapse).<\/p>\n
Symptoms:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Emotional instability<\/li>\n
- Increased fatigue<\/li>\n

Psychogenic depression<\/h3>\n
Psychogenic disorder is typical for people who find themselves in conditions of loss of vital values \u200b\u200bfor them. It can be divorce, death, dismissal from work, etc.). The condition of the sick person is characterized by mood swings and excessive sensitivity. The disease develops rapidly over a short period of time. During this period, there is a clear fixation on the loss, the appearance of anxiety, concern for one's fate, the life of loved ones, an increase in internal tension.<\/p>\n
The sick complain of lethargy of thoughts, melancholy, negatively assess life prospects, speak out about their own insignificance, in the memories of the past they point only to pessimistic facts. The only way out of this painful situation is seen only in suicide.<\/p>\n
\n
Persons with pronounced features of the hysterical type are characterized by increased irritability and a tendency to whims. Attempts to die for them are conditioned only by demonstrative behavior.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Important!<\/strong> Some symptoms are common for anxiety and other disorders, so don't diagnose yourself or self-medicate !!!<\/p>\n
Depression treatment<\/h2>\n
How to get rid of depression?<\/strong> Depending on the stage and type of depression, the characteristics of the body, the presence of concomitant diseases, age and other factors, the treatment of depression may include one or another set of procedures and drugs.<\/p>\n
Typically, treatment for depression is accompanied by individualized dietary and lifestyle adjustments, including physical activity.<\/p>\n
Mild, early-stage depression can be treated without medication, with psychotherapy, or psychologically correcting the patient's behavior and way of thinking. Medication is prescribed for moderate to severe illness, but only in combination with psychotherapy.<\/p>\n
Why is it developing?<\/h2>\n
We will adhere to the aforementioned division of depression. The appearance of a physiological form is caused by a sharply arisen problem, a difficult situation, a tragic event, loneliness. There are many reasons, but they are visible, they can be identified. After eliminating the cause, depression disappears.<\/p>\n
The reasons why a pathological form of depression occurs is based on the specific type of disorder:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Endogenous depression. A person has an internal disposition to the disease (genetic predisposition). The problem is the lack of substances that transmit signals between brain cells, thereby disrupting the chemical balance in the body. The trigger can be trauma, childbirth, menopause, puberty.<\/li>\n
- Psychogenic depression. Its origin is associated with a long-term traumatic event. In some cases, the disorder may occur temporarily after trauma.<\/li>\n
- Somatogenic depression. Its development is associated with physical illness, especially toxic or infectious diseases. Harmful substances and pathogens that damage brain tissue are perceived as the cause of depression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Divorce of parents<\/h3>\n
Very often this applies to children. From a mental health perspective, coexistence with both parents is invaluable and irreplaceable. A sincere desire to save marital cohabitation is a correct and responsible decision that is important for children.<\/p>\n
Irregular circadian rhythm<\/h3>\n
The human body works according to certain internal clocks. This time schedule is closely related to daily life. This is a natural physiological mechanism for the functioning of the human body, called biorhythm. Everyone has it. Only each person is slightly different.<\/p>\n
Biorhythm is significantly related to time management. Biorhythm and effective time management are organically linked. They should complement each other. A person works better and more efficiently by following a regular daily routine. All you have to do is go to bed at the same time and do not skip meals. If the regime is not observed, the body registers changes, signals them to the brain. This intervention in the body is usually not dramatic, it is able to cope with “minor disturbances”.<\/p>\n
The problem occurs when natural biorhythms are regularly disturbed. Fast paced life, many tasks, emergencies, lack of time, stress. All this breaks the daily rhythm. Result? The perfect basis for depression. Even mentally healthy, resilient people can experience the effects of depression. And not only. A disturbed circadian rhythm can also manifest itself with other difficulties, in particular, sleep disturbances, poor digestion, anxiety, and headaches.<\/p>\n
Depression symptoms<\/h2>\n
The correct diagnosis and treatment is prescribed for persistent, within two weeks, several symptoms.<\/p>\n
The main symptom is depressed mood<\/strong>. Thoughts in negative events. Some cry all day long. Others become irritable. Exacerbation of diseases, insomnia.<\/p>\n
It ceases to please anything<\/strong>, to bring pleasure. Previous hobbies do not distract from melancholy. The circle of interests is narrowed, there is no desire to watch your favorite films. Maintaining attractiveness seems like a pointless ritual.<\/p>\n
A symptom of depression is the lack of strength<\/strong>, which is enough to lie and be sad. The bursts of activity tire quickly. In the professional field, it is difficult to move towards a goal, efforts are automatic. Difficulty concentrating and doing anything other than worrying.<\/p>\n
A negative emotional background requires self-flagellation<\/strong>, ascribing shortcomings to oneself. There is no desire to think about the future – it scares, intensifies the symptoms of depression, which protects the brain from overexcitation, the cause of which is anxiety.<\/p>\n
Thoughts to commit suicide<\/strong>. Fear of physical pain, suffering of loved ones interferes with taking specific actions. If the mental anguish is unbearable, and there are no loved ones or do not want to be a hindrance to them, some decide to get rid of depression in this way.<\/p>\n
Lack of neurotransmitters in the brain, primarily serotonin, contributes to the development of symptoms of depression. Serotonin deficiency interferes with sleep at night<\/strong>. Despite drowsiness, for which general lethargy is taken, it is not possible to fall asleep during the day.<\/p>\n
Depressive dominant suppresses appetite<\/strong>, which reduces weight. On the contrary, activation of the inhibited areas of the brain by food receptors causes an immoderate appetite.<\/p>\n
Depressive disorder suppresses sexual desire<\/strong>, it ceases to give pleasure, reduces the need for intimacy. Sometimes genital disorders cause more anxiety than a dull mood, forcing depression to be treated.<\/p>\n
Symptoms of depression are imaginary bodily disorders<\/strong>, diseases of the head, heart, neck, abdomen.<\/p>\n
Five or more of the listed symptoms signal a deep stage of the disease.<\/p>\n
Depression is often confused with nervous exhaustion, the causes of which are excessive activity, insufficient rest, and lack of sleep. Stress develops increased fatigue, loss of ability for prolonged intellectual or physical work. It ceases to bring joy. Anxiety, loss of zest for life.<\/p>\n
Antidepressant treatment<\/h2>\n
To relieve anxiety, improve mood in the treatment of depression, the doctor prescribes antidepressants. They slow down the decline in serotonin levels.<\/p>\n
Few people need these drugs. Most are simply overly tired, not getting enough rest, which is why they are often moping and in a melancholy mood.<\/p>\n
The pill relieves stress. Long-term use is addictive. There is no cure, and there is no cure for depression symptoms Refusal of pills returns signs of a depressive state.<\/p>\n
Side effects: decreased blood pressure, vomiting, blurred vision, constipation, lethargy, infantilism, hearing impairment. The effect of antidepressants on the brain is not fully understood.<\/p>\n
Therefore, stress and mild forms of depression are treated with proper nutrition, exercise, and doctor-approved folk remedies.<\/p>\n
Diagnosing and treating depression<\/h2>\n
Diagnosis is based on history, patient complaints, and special tests to determine the level of depression. Diagnosis requires at least two symptoms of the depressive triad and at least three additional symptoms, including guilt, pessimism, difficulty concentrating and making decisions, decreased self-esteem, sleep disturbances, appetite disorders, suicidal thoughts and intentions. If there is a suspicion of the presence of somatic diseases, a patient suffering from depression is referred for consultation to a therapist, neurologist, cardiologist, gastroenterologist, rheumatologist, endocrinologist and other specialists (depending on the existing symptoms). The list of additional examinations is determined by general practitioners.<\/p>\n
Treatment of minor, atypical, recurrent, postpartum depression and dysthymia is usually carried out on an outpatient basis. If the disorder is severe, hospitalization may be required. The treatment plan is made individually, depending on the type and severity of depression, only psychotherapy or psychotherapy in combination with pharmacotherapy is used. Antidepressants are the mainstay of drug therapy. With lethargy, antidepressants with a stimulating effect are prescribed, with anxiety depression, sedative drugs are used.<\/p>\n
The response to antidepressants depends both on the type and severity of depression and on the individual characteristics of the patient. At the initial stages of pharmacotherapy, psychiatrists and psychotherapists sometimes have to replace the drug due to insufficient antidepressant effect or pronounced side effects. A decrease in the severity of symptoms of depression is noted only 2-3 weeks after the start of taking antidepressants, therefore, at the initial stage of treatment, tranquilizers are often prescribed to patients. Tranquilizers are prescribed for a period of 2-4 weeks, the minimum period for taking antidepressants is several months.<\/p>\n
Psychotherapeutic treatment for depression can include individual, family, and group therapy. They use rational therapy, hypnosis, gestalt therapy, art therapy, etc. Psychotherapy is complemented by other non-drug methods of treatment. Patients are referred to exercise therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage and aromatherapy. In the treatment of seasonal depressions, a good effect is achieved with the use of light therapy. For refractory (refractory) depression, electroconvulsive therapy and sleep deprivation are sometimes used.<\/p>\n
The prognosis is determined by the type, severity and cause of depression. Reactive disorders tend to respond well to treatment. With neurotic depression, there is a tendency to a protracted or chronic course. The condition of patients with somatogenic affective disorders is determined by the characteristics of the underlying disease. Endogenous depression responds poorly to non-drug therapy; with the correct selection of drugs, in some cases, stable compensation is observed.<\/p>\n
Anxiety disorders<\/h2>\n
Anxiety is different: with phobias, a person is afraid of something specific, with panic attacks, he experiences acute, but short-lived attacks of horror. Chronically elevated levels of anxiety for many reasons are called generalized anxiety disorder. And obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) forces a person to perform strange rituals in order to “protect” from all kinds of threats. It is believed that religious rituals and superstitions are also a type of OCD.<\/p>\n
A psychiatric diagnosis is made in cases where a person is not able to cope with negative emotions that make the usual life impossible: due to obsessive fears, he stops going to school, does not cope with work, destroys relationships one after another. Therefore, to say to the anxious: “Stop worrying, there is no reason for this!” – there is not the slightest sense.<\/p>\n
Constant anxiety affects your physical condition, causing muscle tension. Therefore, patients are pursued by severe pain for no apparent reason in the area of \u200b\u200bthe heart, stomach, migraine.<\/p>\n
Excessive anxiety in most cases can be reduced with the help of antidepressants and tranquilizers. Psychotherapy also helps. What definitely doesn't help is diligently avoiding any frightening situations. If you do not fight anxiety, it will take over new spaces. And in the end it will confuse the victim when he cannot even dare to leave his apartment.<\/p>\n
