據 統計發病率顯示,婦女是主要的高危人群,確診為抑鬱症,至少是男子的兩倍。不過,這些統計數據可能有缺陷。一些專家指出,男人變得沮喪正如常作為婦女,但 是,因為我們的社會期望男人會非常激烈,布雷和剛性上三緘其口,他們中的許多人覺得很難談的情緒困擾,或者示弱,而且更有可能比女人依傍'自我治療'與酒 精或毒品,而不是訪問他們的家庭醫生。此外,男人是最有可能比女性重視社會的恥辱,以抑鬱症,因此不太願意承認自己是消沉。

抑鬱症和其他疾病

沒事兒,那是可悲的被壓抑。但它不是致命的,是吧?
可以。是有一個堅強有力協會之間的抑鬱症和身體上的疾病。研究表明,抑鬱個人有更多的身體疾病和使用醫療設施多的人,他們不消沉。
最近的一項研究對2組的醫院病人,其中抑鬱症和一個沒有發現,平均逗留時間為集團與抑鬱症是10天時間,亦較非抑鬱組。研究匹配人民的嚴重性,在身體上的疾病已導致其住院。

為什麼抑鬱症會導致身體上的疾病嗎?
因果關係,目前尚不清楚,而很明顯的關係會隨身體上的疾病的結果。不過,有相當多的證據表明存在一個嚴重憂鬱症患者,可以抑制免疫系統。此外,抑鬱症,可導致不健康的行為,例如酗酒,加劇了身體問題已經存在。
舉 例來說,許多最近的研究發現,成人糖尿病患者的3倍更有可能被壓抑比成人的人沒有得到糖尿病。雖然現在還不清楚為什麼一些糖尿病的人得到沮喪,有的沒有, 這是大家都知道的人,糖尿病人患上抑鬱症有更多的問題與血糖控制的,大概是因為他們不遵守作為忠實指引。由於貧窮糖尿病控制,往往會導致增加醫療並發症, 這樣的人有較高的機會,發展更多的物理問題。

誰是最大的風險自殺呢?
自殺率較舊人,該集團的80至84歲,是比目前增加一倍率為一般人群傳播。老年男性則是風險最高。大部分這些男子患有他們首發的抑鬱症,這是唯一中度嚴重的,但他們的症狀去未被和未經處理的。

怎麼樣的孩子?他們在自殺的危險性呢?
自殺仍屬罕見,在兒童根據年齡為12歲。然而,許多兒童年齡介於5日和14日自殺,每年還有更多的嘗試。自殺率之間的青少年,年齡在15歲至19日增加了兩倍,在過去30年。自殺已成為死亡的第二大原因是老年少年。

我怎樣才能知道如果我是抑鬱?

抑鬱症是一種綜合徵,或星座的症狀和體徵。一個很好的,並廣泛採用的一套標準診斷抑鬱症是包含在一個正式的美國出版物,診斷與統計手冊精神失常( DMS的第四部分)的美國精神病學協會。這些準則,是用以和接受英國精神病學家,是
1 。抑鬱情緒(有時表現為煩躁不安,在兒童和青少年)一天的大部分時間,幾乎每天都有。
2 。顯著減少利息或高興在所有或幾乎所有的活動,一天的大部分時間,幾乎每天都有(如由主觀賬戶或他人的觀察受影響的人的冷漠態度,大部分的時間) 。
3 。顯著的體重減輕或增益時,不節食( 5 %以上的體重在1個月內) ,或減少/增加食慾幾乎每天都有。 (一個孩子,這是衡量條款未能符合預期增重) 。
4 。失眠或hypersomnia幾乎每天都有。
5 。心理攪拌或精神發育遲滯,是一個不正常的加快或放慢的一個人的活動和心理過程中,幾乎每天都有,作為觀察其他(不只是主觀的感受,情緒不安,或正在放緩) 。
6 。疲勞或損失能量,幾乎每天都有。
7 。感情不值錢,或過量或不適當的罪惡感(可能是錯覺) ,幾乎每一天(不僅僅是自我責備或罪惡感約生病)
8 。削弱思維能力或集中,或者猶豫不決,幾乎每天都有。
9 。經常思考死(不只是懼怕死亡) ,或自殺,沒有一個具體的計劃,而自殺。

我需要有這些症狀,要考慮抑鬱?
號資格成為痛苦的一個主要抑鬱症,你必須經歷至少5的症狀,在同一2週時期。此外,至少在第一個或第二個症狀必須在場。和條件,絕不可有正常的反應,舉例來說,最近去世的一位親人。
不是每個人的是沮喪的經驗,每一個症狀。有些人的經驗,少數症狀,有的很多。此外,嚴重的症狀不同,在個人和同種抑鬱從他們的痛苦。

防止復發

每個人我認識的人有親身經歷的一個插曲的抑鬱症是可以理解的,恐怕連想回到通過該種地獄。在所有的可能性,你會不會來,如果你知道你將面臨的打擊,並準備採取行動。

持續或反复幕窪地上面介紹的情況非常普遍,所以這是很重要的把注意力集中在防止復發。有三個主要的途徑我想與你討論。

直 接行動:這是非常有幫助的,以獲得清晰的了解,尤其是生活中的情況或事件,引發了抑鬱症,為你在過去的。或許最常見的情況,導致抑鬱症目前正在困擾,在人 際關係,你可能會加以利用,忽視或虐待。另一套共同的活動可能誘發抑鬱症是減少參與有意義的活動(教堂,娛樂的追求,志願者工作等) ,健康的關係和社會參與提供了一個持續來源,有意義的生活情趣。如果讓其繼續惡化,這些wellsprings生命力的,可幹起來逐比特,逐步推回到抑鬱 症。

想到這樣說:如果有一個火在你的家中,你可以打開窗戶,並讓出一些煙霧-但它的一個臨時解決方案。這是更好地撲滅大火直接。採 取行動,直接改變生活的情況下,可能會挑起抑鬱症是一個重要組成部分,防止復發。我闡述了明顯?也許是。但太多太多的人產生了巨大的能力,更還是少忽視這 些問題的情況,直到他們達到危機程度。

我想鼓勵你們採取這個角度來看,反而說: "我有責任向自己,以避免發生憂鬱症,在我的生活中,由於這樣做的一個辦法,我作出了承諾,就看任何及所有生命的情況下,有可能會傷害我在感情上,然後盡 我所能直接解決這些問題,如果這些問題不容易解決,但我會考慮看到一個治療師,幫助我制定了一項行動計劃,我的情緒福祉就是在這裡,我不是願意忽視這些問 題,如果他們來了我的生命" 。

如果關係問題,是從源頭上的窘迫,可能採取的行動是積極尋求解決這一問題,是劃分你。如果問題是嚴重的關係是非常重要的(例如,你的婚姻) ,解決的最佳方法是通過心理治療或婚姻輔導。

如果問題是缺乏有效的社會交往或社會人士參與,當然,更是直接:涉足。找人,在小群體中,有著共同的利益:教會,義工服務組織,音樂團體,業餘愛好俱樂部,體育,戲劇,社會團體...

Trends In Teen Depression: Part 2

Trends in teen depression


Speech therapy
Psychological treatment, can make use of a cognitive or interpersonal approach to exploration activities and emotions, are suffering a teenage children. It can also help to develop new skills.

Recognizing that cognitive therapy, emotional health, and the mode of thinking and beliefs of the world and ideas, depression,
trends in teen depression may be pessimistic and leading, the expected negative harmful consequences.

"I do not want to dance, because I believe that people will laugh I was stupid and said:" 14-year-old Danny to his treatment. "Every other children seem to know how to act, but I have two left, I would prefer to stay at home watching TV."

Cognitive therapy will help Danny knows his fear is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy, and teaches positive way of thinking for themselves and others. These conditions may include, for example, dance lessons and / or duplication of Affirmation, said: "I am very free and easy lovely", the day before on many occasions, is a mirror.

Interpersonal therapy focuses on practical problems and the development of healthy relationships,
trends in teen depression at home and in schools. It can teach coping mechanisms loss and rejection, there are two important social problems of young people, or how to get along with their parents and brothers and sisters. It also helps young people cope with stress reduction and.

To Danny, is a focus of his fear of being rejected by his friend. Of the time may be spent role-playing with his treatment, to formulate a strategy to criticism. Because self-esteem improved, one part of the lift he is suffering from, he may attend another dance.

Collective psychological treatment

Cognitive and interpersonal therapy and the youth can occur in individual meetings or group settings with trends in teen depression. Each has its own advantages and many therapists prefer to allow customers to determine which format is more productive.

My experience is that most of the young people surveyed, but depressed, not to treat voluntary. Unlike their adult counterparts, they are not found in this area of their depressive symptoms do not damage their quality of life. When a reporter asked them why they were in the treatment, the answer is probably "she" (mother) or the "he" (father), so I came.

At this point, the meetings of the panel are often equally threatening, and can be taught social skills, in a more relaxed and less humiliating environment. Respect for the rules of sharing (not suspended), is forced, but unlike adults, food and beverages can be served, kids can sit on the ground or walking, and to encourage them to link treatment and the other between sessions.

This "relaxation" the classic rules of the collective psychological treatment, mainly for the purpose of the experience of "lighter", and
trends in teen depression encourages deep, depression, juvenile find fun. The irritable young people have the opportunity to move some of the energy and unloading, are still listening to, as a part of the Group.

Family meetings are often used to supplement group, as are separate. Referral can be made to a doctor for evaluation of antidepressant drug treatment, if necessary.

Treatment of Adolescent Depression has come a long way in the past 10 years. When we know more about the natural, social, and emotional causes of this confusion for
trends in teen depression, and even greater progress will be in the future.

Trends In Teen Depression: Part 1

Trends in teen depression

Today, we recognize that depression is often from about 2.0% in early childhood education and the pre-adolescent and 5 per cent of the young people suffering from this disease. We also know that depression in young people, which is different from adults and some treatment modalities, but also may be different.

Trends in teen depression: Young people are not small adults
Depression has always been regarded as an adult disorder is characterized by loss of interest in life. In its extreme form, the patient's experience, the time and slow down the ability to think, and often go to bed as a safe haven. Appetite, desire, and communication, other people may have been seriously jeopardized. Even breathe may find difficult because of despair, fill every hole.

Depression in children and adolescents is not always manifested in the case. Instead of being sad and debilitating, depression, youth,
trends in teen depression include excitement and irritability, physical symptoms, such as headache, stomach pain, or even to put forward and out of a depressed mood.

And adult depression usually their anger inward eyes, a flat emotional tone, or influence. Their teenage counterparts may be further acquisitions, friends and family members in the smallest things. "This is because, although I want to have everyone stay away from this is close to me, saying:" a recovering youth. "This I can do, which is to behave like a clean and jerk."

The most dismal of adults, there is a name for their mental disorder, I do not know when the "Great Depression" hit the target. Teenagers, is not because of a well-educated on the feelings and somatize (express their emotions through their body), rather than words. Therefore,
trends in teen depression might be your child saying "I am the head injury" or "My stomach pain," saying: "I am hurt." Unfortunately, these complaints are often drug treatment, rather than treatment.

Finally, the adults is a serious depression usually continuously depressed. Teenage responsive to their external environment, and regularly leave their grief behind; a sign of
trends in teen depression. Thus, a depressed young people, they are successful tickets, see a famous music groups, can enjoy the excitement of sprint / happiness before and during the competition concert, and then back to their homes in the emotional darkness.

Diagnosis may be difficult for doctors young people, because of these factors. The good news is that effective treatment of mental therapy, for those who can be properly identified as depression.
