Demystifying Depression

Statistics point out that approximately one out of every six people will have a depression (with varying degrees of seriousness) at least once in their lifetimes. Even people well-informed about other health issues will often be caught totally by surprise by a depression.

This is more of a tragedy if one realises how far-reaching are the implications for a person's life and productivity, and most importantly, how depression could be avoided altogether if only people knew how to recognise the early symptoms.

Clinical depression is a physical illness which so happens to affect the brain. However, when one takes a closer look at more objective indicators, they do not show the symptoms of a clinical depression.

One of the enduring myths about clinical depression is that you can suddenly lift it up simply by convincing a depressed person that life is good and worth living. Curiously, one of the tell-tale symptoms of a depression is an inability to have strong emotions, including sadness and the blues. As far as he is aware, both the model explaining depression and the description of his recovery treatment represent the current state-of-the-art.

The one thing that people should remember here is that, it would be the importance of being treated by a competent professional. An objective description of clinical depression, explaining the physical illness which progressively takes it toll on the brain has to be given to the patients. Many general practitioners and even psychologists are not properly informed about depression, and they can even inadvertently give their patients plenty of bad advice

Again, by better understanding the problem from an objective perspective, people will more easily assimilate the need to take good care of their sleep and to avoid overloading their brains.
