DEPRESSION/SUICIDE AWARENESS
Everyone feels down at times. The breakup of a relationship,debts to pay,sickness or a bad grade can lead to low mood. Sometimes sadness comes on for no apparent reason. Depressed people may also fail to live up to their potential, doing poorly in school and staying on the social margins. Depression is frequently ignored or untreated; the condition often prevents people from taking steps to help themselves. This is unfortunate, as effective help is available.
Signs of Depression
Anyone who feels down most of the day nearly every day for weeks or months may be clinically depressed. Depressed individuals may experience:
Loss of pleasure in virtually all activities
Feelings of fatigue or lack of energy
Frequent tearfulness
Difficulty with concentration or memory
A change in sleep pattern, with either too much or too little sleep; the person may wake up in the night or early morning and not feel rested the next day
An increase or decrease in appetite, with a corresponding change in weight
Markedly diminished interest in sex
Feelings of worthlessness and self-blame or exaggerated feelings of guilt
Unrealistic ideas and worries (e.g., believing no one like them or that they have a terminal illness when there is no supporting proof)
Hopelessness about the future
Thoughts of suicide
What Treatments Are Available?
Friends and family may provide all the support that is needed in mild cases of depression. Having someone who is willing to listen and ask concerned questions can make all the difference. However, even the most caring and involved friends or family members may not be enough when depression is more severe. In such cases, it is important to seek professional help.
