WHAT
IS DEPRESSION?:
Depression is a serious medical
condition. Although depression can occur at any age, it's more common in middle
age and older adults. The symptoms of depression can be overwhelming and cause
people to feel sad and worthless. But there are several tools you can use to
help stop the cycle of depression, including exercise, healthy eating habits
and mindful meditation. Depression is called a mental disorder. It is diagnosed
when you have significant symptoms of depression, including sadness, loss of
interest or pleasure, severe fatigue and trouble sleeping, poor appetite and
weight loss or weight gain that is not caused by an increase in appetite.
Depression is also a mood
disorder that can be experienced in both genders. It is characterized by
sadness and loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, sleep lost or
excessive sleeping, changes to eating habits etc. Depression is a mental state
characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness and worthlessness. People
with depression can also experience symptoms such as: overeating / bingeing,

Depression is a serious health
problem that can lead to other health problems, a poor quality of life and even
death. It affects nearly everyone at some point in their lives but some people
may go through more than others. People who have depression are not “weak” or
“stupid” – they are suffering from a medical condition that needs treatment.
CAUSES
OF DEPRESSION:
The causes of depression are
complex. Depression is more than just a chemical imbalance or other physical
problem. It's a combination of factors that can include genetic make-up, life
events, personality characteristics and much more. The good news is that
effective treatment options exist which
have shown promise in helping people overcome this serious mental health
concern. Depression can affect everyone differently but risk factors for
developing depression include certain personality traits, life experiences and
biology. Depression can be debilitating but many people and families find
support through community. When you're down, others tend to stay away. That's
why depression is often a lonely condition. Living with depression can be a
challenge but taking action can make all the difference.
WHAT
IS ANXIETY?:
Anxiety is a mood based
emotional state in which a person experiences physical and psychological
responses associated with excessive worry or fear. The word anxiety derives
from the Latin word "anxietas" which literally means
"fear." It occurs when we worry too much about a particular event,
situation or activity. Knowing what triggers your anxiety and how you can learn
to control it will help prevent anxiety from taking over your life. Anxiety is
an emotional response to stress and anxiety-inducing situations. The person
experiencing anxiety may become physically and mentally tense, feel on edge and
highly alert and experience a variety of physical symptoms including rapid
heartbeat, tightness in the chest, a lump in the throat, cold hands or feet or clammy
skin, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness or light headedness and
sweating.
CAUSES
OF ANXIETY:
What causes anxiety? Anxiety is
a normal reaction to stress that can be helpful in some situations, such as
preparing for a test. But when it goes on too long, it can have serious
effects. Anxiety occurs in response to stress. Anxiety itself is not a disease
but rather emotions that can resemble symptoms of other psychological
disorders. We all feel anxious from time to time but for someone with an
anxiety disorder, that uneasiness can be over powering and even interfere in
their daily life. Anxiety is a feeling of upset and nervousness. Every body
feels anxious at some point in their life. It's common to feel anxious about an
important event. The cause of anxiety is a complex interaction among
psychology, genes, behavior and environment. Anxiety can increase during times
of stress, like when you get a phone call that is not familiar or when you need
to do something at work and can't think what to do next.
REMEDIES
FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY:
So what are some helpful ways
to cope with depression and anxiety? You can take time to slow down, breathe
and think. You can learn relaxation techniques or start a journal of your
feelings. You may also get benefit from joining a support group. Depression is
a complex illness with different forms and symptoms requiring different
treatment methods. Medicines are not always the most effective solution. There
are many proven methods to recover from depression and anxiety. Some of these
can include CBT, which is a type of psychotherapy that helps you identify
negative thought patterns and change them, even if they seem to make sense.
Here are tips to help stop
worrying! Talk yourself down from any anxious thoughts. Remind yourself that
what you are worrying about probably won't happen. Ask yourself if it's worth
the effort. Can you change anything or is it in your best interest to just let
it go? The first step to feeling better is understanding your symptoms and how
they impact your life. You can then determine which treatment is best for you.
Consider speaking to a psychologist or therapist for support between sessions.
To restore the balance to our
emotions, we must learn the art of relaxation and breathing. The idea behind
calming your thoughts is to make a mental picture of something that makes you
feel at ease, such as a snowy day. Pictures in your head can have a powerful
effect on your feelings. You can harness this power by creating a mental
picture of something that will make you feel relaxed, calm or peaceful. You may
be surprised that how well this works. When you think about that peaceful, calm
feeling, try and hold on to those thoughts, allow yourself to feel those
feelings of relaxation. By doing this you are bringing calmness into your life.
Taking deep breaths is a way to calm down. It is also a way to stay focused and
prevent yourself from getting angry.
