Do you find it hard to concentrate on your job? Are you experiencing sleeping disorder? Do you worry too much? Have you become irritable? Do you get emotional or upset for no specific reason? Then you may be going through depression.
Depression is a tough phase in anyone's life.
However, depression can be treated.
If you consult a doctor in time, you can relieve the affects of depression through proper counseling.
Sometimes, doctors will prescribe medication.
If you follow the medication and treatment properly, it will also help to eliminate depression.
In order to determine whether or not you are depressed, you have to realize that we all have good days and bad days.
It is when the bad days don't go away that the possibility of depression is likely.
Many believe that a chemical imbalance triggers depression.
This imbalance is responsible for sending messages to the brain.
Chemicals known as neurotransmitters are responsible for passing messages to and from the brain.
If the neurotransmitter levels are too low, messages are not being transmitted correctly and depression occurs.
Symptoms include feeling sad and crying a lot, always tired, extremely anxious, low self-esteem and loss of sex drive.
Millions of people suffer from depression, and women are more likely to suffer than men.
However, depression affects everyone on some level.
If you think you might be depressed, don't hesitate to seek the help of a trained professional.
Depression can be treated with counseling and sometimes medication.
Whatever the treatment, the benefits far outweigh the negative effects of living with depression.
