Depression consequences
So called disorders of the mood are group of conditions which incorporate different disorders. There is separation of both disorders of anxiety and depression, although sometimes is very difficult to distinct them. There is no perfect cut on boundaries on both disorders. For example if we talk about depression disorders, we have to take into consideration following, manifestations like: change in the mood (lowering), symptoms of reduced energy capability, and lack of interest for certain activities like joy, fun, social amusement etc. If we go deeper there are more symptoms to take into consideration. Pessimistic approach of live is one of them. Also there is great deal of low concentration, low self confidence, broken sleep patterns even suicidal thoughts manifestation. We have to take depression very serious. Depression can cause severe personal and societal consequences. When we take both sex in consideration there is conclusion that women suffer from depression twice more as men. Symptoms in woman can be increased with age. But that is not rigid rule, because there is great deal of relatively younger age groups suffering from depression.
Also there is distinctive difference between depression symptoms and depression illness. Very often, symptoms can be found in people with social and economical difficulties and problems. Yet depressive illness can be located in all sections and layers of society. Depression can cause great increase of mortality due to suicidal negative thoughts, accidents, heart and other internal organs diseases. This can cause severe problems in marital and social life. Also depression causes a great deal of economic burden to whole society. Health care costs will rise, working days will be decreased, and also premature mortality costs will rise. On the other hand, great deal of people have negative attitude toward people suffering from depression and toward medicines that should be used. Great deal of population believes that anti depressive medicines are causing addictiveness. In that way people that really need treatment, very often, refuse to search medical and professional help. It’s only fair to mention that not always professional help is adequate to the level of problems. Taking all these factors into consideration we have to say that depression is one of the major health care problems today.
