Depression – What is It?
Depression is a serious mood disorder that affects every part of your life. It’s not a character flaw or something you can just “snap out of.” It’s a complex imbalance of chemicals in your brain that needs to be treated. It can be triggered by illness, certain events, or medications, but it often develops without any clear cause. Depression can also make you more likely to have other health problems, like heart disease or cancer.
Symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but everyone has some sadness and a loss of interest in daily activities. Depression can also interfere with relationships with family and friends, as well as work and school performance. Some people have thoughts of suicide or self-harm, but this is rare. Depression can be a long-lasting condition, but with treatment, most people feel better.
There are many treatments for depression, including psychotherapy (talk therapy), exercise, healthy eating and sleeping habits, and antidepressant medicines. Sometimes a combination of these is best. Talk to your doctor or therapist about which is right for you.
The first step in treatment is a thorough diagnostic evaluation. This may include a physical exam, blood tests, and an interview. It will identify your symptoms and evaluate family history, culture, and personal experiences. The evaluation will help your doctor diagnose depression and plan the best treatment.
Antidepressants are the most common treatment for depression. Different types of antidepressants work on different neurotransmitters. Some take time to reach their full effect, and it can be difficult to find the right medication and dose for you. Many people have to try several before they find the one that helps.
If you decide to take an antidepressant, it’s important to stick with it. Changing the dosage or stopping the drug can make your symptoms return. Also, it’s important to talk to your doctor if you have suicidal thoughts or other troubling side effects.
Prevention programmes have been shown to reduce depression. These can include community interventions, such as school-based programmes to enhance a pattern of positive coping in children and adolescents, or parenting programmes for depressed parents. Exercise can also help to lift mood, especially in older people.
There’s no cure for depression, but a combination of treatment and support can help. Talk to a loved one, a health care professional, a faith leader, or a support group. If you’re depressed, try doing things that you enjoy, taking small steps at a time, and keeping in touch with people. Self-help books and online resources can be useful too. Getting help early on is important because depression can be hard to treat. The sooner you get it, the better. Most people with depression feel better with medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two.
