depression....its sad

DEPRESSION.......is feeling down in the dumps.....you feel fearful and gloomy...helpless and hopeless...it often happens for you,me and everyone......its a common phenomena...a state of mind everybody experiences.....but when it varies...and increases
...ie ....the person becomes unproductive,inactive and mannerisms change....the depression phase is questionable.

How can you recognize a state of depression?

A person who is depressed lacks sleep,paces up and down the room,wrings their hands in anxiety.Depressed people almost have trouble sleeping.On the average they take longer than most people to fall asleep.After sleeping restlessly they awaken too early and cannot go back to sleep.During the day they consequently feel drowsy.

Events that trigger depressed episodes.......

Hormonal changes are one example of an event that can trigger a depressive episode....studies indicate that women experience depression on the day before or the first day of menstruation.....similarly after pregnancy also ....most women experience the blues....for a day or two after delivery..because of pain,hospital atmosphere,emotional upheaval and hormonal changes.....failure in exams....can rigger of acute depression....marital discord....stress......and illness can lead to various forms of depression.

Antidepressants and cognitive behaviour theraphy....in fact cognitive theraphy is as effective for many types of depression. In modern forms of treatment....music meditation and transcedental meditation are fast catching on....holistic treatment is also effective...in the initial stages.
