Understanding Depression and the Importance of Early Treatment
Depression is a complex mood disorder that can be rooted in a variety of environmental, biological, and psychological factors. Some of the risk factors include a personal history of mental illness, drug or alcohol misuse, and stressful events such as divorce, critical illness, or the loss of a loved one.
Depression affects everyone differently, and two people with the same risk factors may have completely different experiences with regard to developing depression. It can be difficult to determine the exact cause of someone’s depression, and you may feel as though there is no obvious reason for it — but that doesn’t mean that it’s not real. If you’re struggling with symptoms, it’s important to seek major depression treatment as soon as possible.
Symptoms of Major Depression
Although other types of depression can include many of these same symptoms, people suffering from major depression usually experience a larger number of symptoms that are also usually more severe.
Depression is different for everyone, and symptoms can change over time. But if you have at least five of these symptoms spanning a two-week period, you may have major depression.
- Persistent, all-consuming sadness
- Loss of interest in things that once brought pleasure
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Decreased energy
- Changes in eating habits
- Feelings of helplessness or guilt
- Insomnia or excessive sleeping
- Unexplained aches and pains
- Constant worry and anxiet
