Depression is a mood related problem which most people experience as an intense feeling of sadness, and a loss of joy and a loss of the ability to experience positive feelings from previously enjoyable activities.
While for some, this type of mood problem can be experienced as an intense period of sadness, for others it can take the form of a long drawn-out flat mood which is not going anywhere no matter how hard people try.
Some of the accompanying issues may include unusual change in weight, disturbed sleep, fatigue, irritability, feelings of worthlessness, problems with clarity of thinking and also recurrent suicidal ideation.
Depression can be a stand-alone problem with mood, but it also often accompanies other problems with mental health or can be cyclical in its nature.
Although depression can have a negative impact on the day-to-day life of people experiencing this condition, there are treatment options that are available to help.
A comprehensive assessment of the person’s life, including the recent and the past events, helps with providing a good understanding of the factors that contribute to and maintain the person’s low mood. Once these factors are identified, they can be effectively treated and the symptoms associated with it can be greatly reduced.
If you are suffering from symptoms of a mood disorder or depression, getting help is the key to managing the symptoms and understanding the condition. To find out how we can help you or someone you know that is suffering from a mood disorder contact us today.
