For people with clinical depression, their normal functioning is undermined to such an extent that both they and those who care about them are affected by it.
>Major depressive disorder is also known as major depression. The patients suffer from a combination of symptoms that undermine their ability to sleep, study, work, eat, and enjoy activities they used to find pleasurable.
>Dysthymic disorder is also known as dysthymia, or mild chronic depression. The patient will suffer symptoms for a long time, perhaps as long as a couple of years, and often longer. The symptoms are not as severe as in major depression - they do not disable the patient. However, people affected with dysthymic disorder may find it hard to function normally and feel well.
SOME CAUSES ARE :
>Anxiety disorders, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder often accompany depression.
>People who are dependent on alcohol or narcotics have a significantly higher chance of also having depression.
>Depression is much more common for people who suffer from HIV/AIDS, heart disease, stroke cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and many other illnesses.
>Obesity gene makes people happy
>Folate and B12 deficiency linked to some depression symptoms
>Major depressive disorder genetically linked to other mental disorders
There must be a reason hiding there ,knowing the reason is half way towards the management of depression and anxiety in addition to the tips given in the previous answer,treatment might include :
Antidepressant is to stabilize and normalize the neurotransmitters in our brain (naturally occurring brain chemicals), such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepeniphrine.
SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) - are the newest antidepressants; they are also the most popular. Prozac (fluoxetine), Celexa (citalopram), and Zoloft (sertraline) are all SSRIs.
SNRIs (norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) - are similar to SSRIs. Effexor (venlafaxine) and Cymbalta (duloxetine) are SNRIs.
SSRIs and SNRIs are more popular today than older types of antidepressants, mainly because they have fewer side-effects. MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) and tricyclics are examples of older antidepressants. Nevertheless, modern antidepressants do affect some people with undesirable side-effects
you may check with a doctor for a medication prescription for your case if necessary.
In the majority of cases patients will not notice any really significant benefit from an antidepressant until they been taking it for a few weeks. It is important to continue taking them for this reason.
Make sure you take your medication according to your doctor's instructions.
