Recent times have seen a lot been written and spoken about depression. And mental health experts say that they are glad that there is an increasing awareness about this.
Undiagnosed depression is said to lead to a host of problems like chronic anxiety, anger bouts and even pain disorders. Depression can affect relationships and careers if not diagnosed an treated in time. Actress Deepika Padukone received a lot of positive feedback when she opened up about her own battle with depression. The star said that there should be no embarrassment in asking for help when it comes to dealing with depression, and that it would help them hugely.
Experts agree with Padukone. They say that the sooner one accepts that there is a problem and seeks treatment, the better (and at times quicker) the recovery. One of the major contributing factors that may exacerbate depression is loneliness. As strange as it may sound, even in a bustling city like Mumbai, one can feel alone.
Other factors like marital discord, extreme work pressure, high competition and expectations can all lead to depression. Don't, however, allow it to drag you down. Help may just be a call away.
Symptoms
- Continuous feelings of sadness or anxiety for no specific reason.
- Loss of appetite or a significant increase in appetite leading to drastic weight loss or gain.
- Having trouble sleeping or sleeping almost all the time.
- Feeling irritable about little things and losing your temper often.
- Think that nothing will ever go right in your life and feel restlessness.
- Feelings of pessimism, hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness or helplessness are often reported in depressed individuals.
- Disinterest in regular activities and cutting yourself out from social dos.
Treating depression
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR Therapy are said to be among the most effective intervention for treating depression, say experts. Together with medication, they work well to treat this disorder. Clinical psychologist and author Seema Hingorrany says that unfortunately there is still a stigma associated with seeking help for emotional and mental problems, including depression. "Sadly, feelings of depression often are viewed as a sign of weakness rather than as a signal that something is out of balance. The absolute fact is that people with depression cannot simply 'snap out of it' and feel better spontaneously. For anyone who is facing treatment, congratulate yourself on the awareness and the fact that you love yourself enough to want to feel good," she says.
