FAQs about Anxiety and Depression
People with depression often experience anxiety, excessive worry and even panic attacks. These conditions are often co-occurring.
People with anxiety often feel uneasy, worried, or terrified due to their circumstances or due to the anticipation of a future event.
In clinical depression, a person's behavior, thinking, and feelings are severely affected. Unlike normal sadness, this condition is persistent and can interfere with a person's ability to anticipate or experience pleasure. It can also lead to other health risks. The symptoms of this condition can last for several weeks or even years. If left untreated, it can cause significant impairment and worsen the patient's health.
A person experiencing major depression is considered to have this condition if they experience at least five of the symptoms in a row for two weeks. One of these must be either loss of pleasure or interest. Most of the day, the person experiences a depressed mood. They frequently lose interest in activities and are prone to experiencing feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. In addition, they may experience fatigue and a loss of energy. They may also feel guilty or feel worthless. They may think about suicide attempts or death.
Getting a medical evaluation is the first step in diagnosing depression. A doctor can determine if a medical condition is contributing to the patient's condition by performing various tests and conducting a physical examination. If a medical condition is ruled out, the patient can then be referred to a mental health professional. Individuals diagnosed with depression can be treated with various methods. Some of the most common treatment methods include medication and psychotherapy.
Compared to men, women are more prone to experiencing depression. About 20% of women will experience a depressive episode in their lifetime. Scientists are currently trying to determine why women are more prone to experiencing this condition. Various factors such as biological, psychosocial, and hormonal factors are known to play a role in the development of this condition. Before adolescence, both boys and girls experience depression at the same rate. However, by then, the latter is more likely to develop this condition than the former. Some of the possible reasons why this occurs is due to the hormonal and biological changes that occur during puberty. Studies also suggest that women are more prone to experiencing depression when they experience difficult situations. They reportedly are more likely to continue feeling guilty or sad even after going through something difficult.
Being a new mother can make it hard for women to cope with the changes that occur after giving birth. Some new mothers experience a brief period of depression called the "baby blues." These symptoms usually go away within the following few days. However, experiencing postpartum depression can last for several months following the birth of a child. This condition is considered to be a serious illness that requires continuous emotional and physical support. According to some studies, women who experience this condition have previously experienced depressive episodes.
The concept of menopause refers to the period of absence of menstrual periods for 12 months. During this time, the production of certain hormones decreases permanently. This condition can make it hard for a woman to get pregnant. It can also increase their risk of experiencing depression. Scientists are currently trying to determine how the various changes that occur during this period can affect the brain chemistry of individuals with depression.
Some of the factors that can affect the development of depression later in life are the changes in the body and brain. For instance, older adults may experience a condition known as ischemia, which can restrict the flow of blood. Over time, the blood vessels may become less flexible, and this may prevent the blood from going to the brain and other organs. If this condition is diagnosed in older adults without a family history of depression, then they may develop vascular depression. This condition can also lead to cardiovascular issues, such as heart disease or stroke.
