What Is Depression?

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.

 

Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include:

 

Feeling sad or having a depressed mood

Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting

Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

Loss of energy or increased fatigue

Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., hand-wringing or pacing) or slowed movements and speech (actions observable by others)

Feeling worthless or guilty

Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions

Thoughts of death or suicide

Nonetheless, having a parent or close relative with melancholy doesn't mean you'll naturally have a similar encounter. Life conditions and other individual components are still prone to have a significant impact.

Light entering the eye impacts this cadence, and, during the shorter long periods of winter, when individuals may invest restricted energy outside, this beat may wind up upset.

Personality

A few people might be more in danger of wretchedness on account of their character, especially in the event that they tend to stress a great deal, have low confidence, are sticklers, are delicate to individual analysis, or are self-basic and antagonistic.

A poor diet can contribute to depression in several ways. A variety of vitamin and mineral deficiencies are known to cause symptoms of depression.

Drugs

Medications and liquor can add to burdensome issue. Be that as it may, even some physician recommended medications have been connected to discouragement. 

A few medications that have been observed to be related with sorrow incorporate anticonvulsants, statins, stimulants, benzodiazepines, corticosteroids, and beta-blockers.
