Somebody in a state of depression can be said to have totally lost the touch with the inner man. Depression can strike at any time because it does not have outward symptoms. As a result people are bound to experience difficulties in human relations, and if it is not controlled, can result to
Depression is a very common disease and almost everybody can be depressed, it cannot be seen as a sign of weakness. Great men have been noted to have suffered depression at a certain point of their lives. Under a depressive condition it is advisable to see a doctor for a correct diagnosis of the cause.
Some common symptoms of depression are Loss of energy, loss of appetites, insomnia, head ache, lack of concentration and sometimes loss of weight. And, if not adequately treated can lead to heart attack or stroke.
Depression is also a danger signal to a very terrible disease; therefore a depressive person should administer the correct antidepressant drugs. Antidepressant drugs are the drugs designed to alter some certain function of the brain cells and this can be achieved by inducing sleep or giving the user a temporary relieve from the depression. But it cannot be said to be a complete solution.
Benefits of antidepressant drugs:
Antidepressant drugs helps to correct low moods that is naturally associated with depression and they are not hard drugs.
It does not create a state of false impression.
It is not an addictive drugs
It has very low side effects on the user.
They are the best for treatment of depression and also for preventing further occurrence of the sickness.
Some patients who have had severe and/or many episodes of illness are therefore recommended to take medication for a long time.
Advice when taking antidepressant drugs
Antidepressants cannot be stopped suddenly, because of the re-occurrence of the original reasons for the disease.
Doctors should be well informed before an anti depressant drug can be stopped
The patient should be well informed that, improvement while taking the drug is gradual and relieve is not a sudden effect.
The user should not stop the drugs at any point in time, because the doctor should be well informed about the development taking place as a result of the drug usage.
It is also important to note that depression is a social disease and it is not a stranger to anybody, it is also a disease that gets its roots from the victim's state of mind, and medical treatments have been known to fail in the treatment of depression.
Where medical treatment fails, I think the following measures should be adopted:
Diet of a depressive should be regulated by restricting the meals to three balance diet food a day.
Meals should devoid of caffeine and additives.
Lot of exercise is recommended
Alcoholic drinks should be regulated
A lot rest to calm the nerves will be a soothing balm to the soul.
Life styles should be monitored.
The patients should be counselled on the importance of being closer to the higher being.
Meditation or prayer is another antidote to conquer depression.
Cigarette smoking should be completely avoided.
Patient should cultivate a new life styles.
