All About Chronic Depression

Chronic diseases have a very negative effect on the general physiology. Everyone knows that sluggish negative states do not pose a momentary danger to human life. However, it is not easy to get rid of them, as the body gradually gets used to negative factors. For example, when an individual constantly experiences some kind of mental anguish, he gradually gets used to them and practically ceases to notice them.

Chronic depression manifests itself as follows: a person becomes rather pessimistic, physically weak, apathetic, and is in a bad mood all the time.

If the above described disease is started to heal on time, then the cure will come in about six months. However, this rather positive outcome can only occur in 60% of people. Other people will need about a year to rehab.

You say, "This is a very long time." To which you can argue: "Chronic diseases are considered practically incurable." And if you still manage to get rid of them, then this will take a huge amount of time.

Chronic depression is a rather insidious and latent illness. Therefore, it will take some time for specialists to make a correct diagnosis.

Please note: Women are much more likely to develop dysthymia than men. In addition, in women, all signs of a negative state are immediately revealed due to specific behavior that is characteristic only of the female sex.

Men, on the other hand, always behave very restrained in a behavioral plan. Therefore, the symptoms of a chronic disease often remain hidden from prying eyes. This factor is precisely where the great danger lies, which lies in suicidal tendencies.

With depression, the emotional sphere is disturbed. As a result of this process, various mental states appear, which are distinguished by their ambiguity.

Therefore, experts have identified a couple of areas that lead to depression - these are external and internal factors. Sometimes depression occurs for a number of reasons. In addition, all the reasons leading to the above considered condition are divided into several categories.

• Genetic. In this case, the disease is caused by a malfunction in the 11th chromosome, which contains a special gene.

• Psychogenic arise against the background of the influence of external negative manifestations. Patients in this case are very suspicious.

• Neurotic lead to the fact that the disease develops due to any very strong negative experiences. This factor is cunning, since it is not always noticeable.

• Reactive are formed on the basis of experienced very strong stress or fear. And also the reactive form can arise as a result of a very long psychological stress. For example, if a person always worries about his close relative.

Depression is very common when emotional stress begins to build up and build up. For example, the reasons for the formation of this negative manifestation can be attributed to the divorce of spouses, stay in prison, death of a close relative, financial collapse and much more. Chronic depression can be caused by one of the following factors.

Sadness can also trigger depression. It most often arises from some kind of loss.

An angry state can sooner or later provoke depression. If a person constantly sends negativity into the surrounding world, then it seems to him that the world around him is crumbling.

Loss of self-esteem can also lead to depression. If a person has ceased to perceive his “I” in a positive way, then it will be difficult for him to perceive the world around him in an adequate way. Therefore, the subject will begin to fear people out of fear that someone will offend him.

Feelings of guilt contribute to the development of chronic depression. A person thinks like this: "My inner world has become very insignificant." As a result of the development of such thoughts, he ceases to value his “I” and becomes withdrawn.

A constant feeling of fear for one's existence often becomes the main component in the development of depression. If a person loses confidence in the future, then he involuntarily takes the path of self-destruction. Everyday being in fear pushes him to rash acts.

Another component that inevitably leads to depression is increased anxiety. Constant worries, even for something that has not happened yet and may not even happen at all, bring a person to complete mental degradation.

Shame inevitably leads a person to a depressive disorder. Because a person all the time experiences some kind of mental discomfort, which makes him hide and hide from people. As a result, such a subject eventually ceases to perceive reality in an adequate way.

Chronic depression has similar symptoms to other similar conditions. However, it also has pronounced main features. Let's consider them.

• People in a state of chronic depression cannot fall asleep for a long time, and in the morning they cannot wake up quickly. Therefore, their condition remains "foggy" all day long.

• Subject suffers from feelings of helplessness.He constantly thinks that he will be left alone with any problem and will not be able to find support from outside.

• The individual is no longer interested in matters that previously aroused rather strong interest.

• The constant presence of emptiness and a sad mood.

• Constant loss of strength. A person does not want to go anywhere and does not want to do anything.

• A subject in an invasive state is unable to focus his attention on anything. Therefore, his work gives him a lot of problems.

• Sometimes thoughts of death may arise. A person thinks like this: "Than to suffer like this, it is better to die."

• Sometimes a person with chronic depression has psychosomatic manifestations. For example, he may have a malfunction in the cardiovascular system, digestive problems, or some other.

Please note: dysthymia can very well make a person feel very bad. At first, he will lose faith in himself, after which he will fall into an acute depression. Then you will need to urgently sound the alarm and seek help from a specialist. It is possible that he will prescribe medication.

Once the invasive depression has taken effect, it will be difficult to get rid of it. However, one must remember: everything related to the issues of complete cure depends on the will of the person himself. If he wants to tune in the right way, then he will succeed.

For example, use the method of capturing thoughts and feelings. To do this, start a notebook. Open a new sheet of paper each day and write down the changes in your mood.

Also, write down the events that happened during the day. At the end of the month, reread your notes. Then you can easily understand: what makes your condition worsens, and what makes it positive.

Remember those events that piqued your interest and lifted your spirits. Subsequently, try to refer to such memories as often as possible. Also, visit more often the places where you feel comfortable in your soul, or do activities that raise your energy level.

For example: you have been on a trip where you were able to forget about your poor condition. Then do your best to travel again. First of all, this way you will find a happy mood again. And you will have a definite goal. Goal setting is another way to get rid of negativity.

Do not be afraid to ask loved ones for help. Tell them about your attitude. They will definitely find a supportive way to help you get rid of the negative state.

Control your mental activity, change your negative thoughts into positive ones. Forbid yourself from thinking bad things. As soon as various destructive pictures appear in your mind, mentally erase them. And then think of some good and life-affirming event.

Native people should help each other. What if your dearest person is suffering from a depressive disorder? Try to help him with certain actions.

The duration of the invasive disorder makes the subject vulnerable and insecure. Therefore, try to explain to your relative that he is the dearest person in the world for you.

And also there is no need to show a feigned mood. You should not have fun "out of the blue." On the contrary, composure and a serious attitude will help you both find a common language.

Heart-to-heart conversations will help you find common ground. They will also help to bring a person's consciousness out of bad thoughts.

If your loved one has completed any task related to his rehabilitation, praise him.Let him feel that he is capable of accomplishing many things.

It is better to prevent the painful condition than to treat it later. To avoid serious consequences, try to follow the advice of psychologists.

Develop positive thinking. Smile at the people around you more often. You yourself must create a good mood around you, and not wait for others to do it.

Love yourself. First of all, think about yourself and your interests, and only then help the people around you. The theory behind this statement is simple: if you constantly infringe on your desires and feelings, then you will constantly be in a bad mood. Then how can you help other people?

Travel more. A change of scenery always entails a change of mood.

Volunteer. When a person feels needed by someone, then bad thoughts disappear, as his consciousness switches to solving extraneous problems.

Get more rest. Sleeping during the day helps to relieve fatigue and bad moods. If you cannot afford to rest during the day, then try to get enough sleep at night and on weekends.

Go in for sports. This does not require special financial investments. For example, running in the evening can help lift your spirits and alleviate problems with insomnia.
