Blow of blues or depression?

The depression is a very widespread disease, a man on 10 will be reached by it during his life and 1 woman out of 5. The depression is very frequent in the young adults, since 7 depressed out of 10 have less than 45 years. But what does depression mean with the Juste?

Much among you calls depression an episode of momentary sadness which lasts a few days and disappears or a blow from cockroach, others say that they have “depresses it”, that they “are at the bottom” to express an evil of living, a momentary difficulty, a contrariety, a vagueness with the heart, but also in the event of true troubles. The word depresses was standardized and it is very largely used today.
To take with serious the depressive disease

The depression (the depressive disease) is not a momentary state, it is a very great sadness which invades you durably, paralyzes your taste of living, it makes you suffer a long time, it is a true disease to be taken very with the serious one. The depression is thus not a blow of blues! But that this does not prevent you from employing the term of depresses when you want of it. Will know only that for the doctor, the depression term has a rather precise significance and that the word depresses does not exist in the medical language. If you are depressed the doctor will prescribe you a treatment, psychotherapy follow-up or drugs fighting against the very effective depression of way (antidepressants).

There is a raison d’être depressed? Sometimes, the cause of the depression is clear. In other cases it is much less obvious. Essence is elsewhere: in any case it is important that you will see your doctor or a psychiatrist so that it helps you with you to leave there. The depression treats and cures 9 times out of 10. The antidepressant treatment is more effective if it is associated with a psychotherapy. The treatment is always relatively long, about a few months or more. A too short treatment exposes to the risk of relapses.
All ages touched by the depression

The child is not saved by the depression. It is always desirable to consult a pediatrist or a pédopsychiatre when you have the impression that your child is durably sad, but also if it becomes very irritable or that it complains about his body in a repetitive way. It can also lose the appetite, or to have bad school results.

The elderly are also prone to the depression. This one is sometimes difficult to detect at the old subject. This one can present disorders of memory which will be allotted wrongly to “the age” or with a disease of Alzheimer. Sometimes the elderly isolate themselves, become hostile or aggressive with her entourage. It is not a question of a normal evolution within the framework of ageing, but can be of a depression. In this case an antidepressant treatment will improve the signs.
