Myth: There's only one kind of depression
Truth: When it comes to depression, there is more talk of a disorder called clinical depression. Like anxiety, and depression has different types at the diagnostic level. Another kind of depression is distimation. Dystimia is with less intense symptoms. It usually lasts longer than clinical depression (two or 3 years). Some other types of depression are bipolar disorders, postnatal depression and seasonal apheric disorder.
Myth: Depression shows you're upset.
True: People think depression is a desperate condition, but symptoms are on a wider scale and can manifest and physically. The most well-known feelings are the late bored, empty, hopeless, without appetite and sleep very much. Another is the psychomotor reaction, which looks like you're making slow motions. Excessive fatigue, anhedonia and not having the desire to do the things they like are other symposiums. Sleep and nutrition can change noticeably.
Myth: Doctors know what causes depression.
Truth: Experts still haven't found out why people fall into depression. Goldfine says it has been discovered that by lowering or increasing the amount of medication scans taken, people's feelings and behaviors vary. How it changes and why it changes, we're finding out.
Myth: Antidepressants are a quick answer.
Truth: Some lucky people may feel good right after the first medication, but for others, it's not that simple. It can be hard to find the right medication.
Myth: People always fall into depression for a reason.
Truth: Losing a close person or losing their job can lead to a depressive state, but there is no need to always have a source. Goldfine says it may not be caused by a specific reason, especially if you have genetic predisposition. This relates to everyone's ability to move forward and therefore, it is difficult to determine how long you need to have symptoms to be depressed.
Myth: It's obvious when someone is depressed
Truth: In some people it is impossible to tell that something is wrong, they are very closed to their problems. Depression is more of an internal war than bubbles that come to the surface, so many people find it easy to cover their feelings.
Myth: People with depression can get out of it.
The truth: it seems to often compare the reaction to depression with that of the flu. This looks like if he tries, the man might be happier and feel better, but it's more complicated than that.
