Depression

Depression is a complex mental health condition that affects an estimated 300 million people worldwide. It is thought to affect roughly one in six people at some point in their lifetime, and according to the World Health Organization, is one of the world’s leading causes of disability.

Depression is more than just feeling sad or down. It is a persistent and pervasive mood disorder that can significantly impair one’s ability to function in daily life. It affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, often leading to a sense of hopelessness, emptiness, and worthlessness.

Symptoms range from relatively minor to severe. It can hit indiscriminately and has a negative influence in all areas of a sufferer’s life: work, relationships, and physical wellbeing. Recognising the signs and symptoms of depression is essential for early intervention and treatment.

Some common indicators include:

  • → Extreme or extended feeling of sadness, feeling tearful.
  • → Decline in interest with life, no motivation to engage in hobbies.
  • → Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, emptiness, or guilt.
  • → Loss or gain in weight, changes in appetite or eating habits.
  • → Changes in sleeping. Too much or too little, and insomnia.
  • → Withdrawing from family, friends, loved ones and social situations.
  • → Feeling more than usually irritable or angry.
  • → Thoughts of harming oneself or suicide.

It's important to note that individuals may experience depression differently, and not everyone will exhibit all these symptoms.

There are many different types of depression, some of the most common include:

  • Major depressive disorder (MDD): This is the most common form of depression, characterised by persistent low mood and loss of interest or pleasure in activities.
  • Persistent depressive disorder also known as dysthymia: Dysthymia involves chronic, long-term depression lasting for two years or more. Symptoms may be less severe than MDD but still interfere with daily functioning.
  • Bipolar disorder: Formerly known as manic-depressive illness, bipolar disorder involves cycling between periods of extreme highs (mania) and lows (depression).
  • Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): SAD is a type of depression that occurs seasonally, typically during the winter months when there is less sunlight.
  • Postpartum depression: Experienced by some women after giving birth, postpartum depression involves intense feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion.

Depression is a treatable condition, and several approaches can help individuals manage their symptoms effectively. Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy; medication – antidepressant medicines; support groups; lifestyle changes including meditation, light exercise, healthy diet, regular sleep, and stress reduction.

In some cases, depression may be severe and resistant to typical treatment approaches. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a form of neuromodulation. A non-invasive, non-convulsive method of brain stimulation therapy that has proved effective in the treatment of neurological and mental health conditions such as depression. Studies have found that TMS is particularly effective for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.

In some instances, residential rehab treatment, also known as inpatient treatment, may be the best option. Residential treatment programmes offer a structured and supportive environment where individuals can receive intensive therapy and medical supervision, as well as peer support, reducing the sense of isolation and loneliness.

Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that requires prompt attention and appropriate treatment. By recognising the signs and symptoms of depression and seeking professional help, individuals can take proactive steps towards recovery and regain control of their lives.
