Severe Depression -Information and Tips
At its worst, depression is severe depression. Too many Americans will not seek help for this disorder until it is so severe that it takes years to bring under control. Some type of depression affects over 15 million Americans each and every year. Medical attention will only be sought by about 4.5 million of these people. They try to hide it, wish it away, because of fear of being labeled crazy or insane. The problem is that Severe Depression will not be wished away. Those who suffer this disease have no control over it and the condition will only get worse with time.
Many Americans are too ashamed to admit they are afflicted. Severe Depression is no reflection on you as a human being. You are not less of a person. Depression is a disease like any other disease. It requires treatment and support. When depression reaches the severe level it simply means that all of the normal symptoms of the disease are magnified. Everything associated with the illness becomes more intense. Your ability to adapt both socially and professionally becomes more and more difficult. The feelings of worthlessness begin to completely consume you and pull you deeper into yourself. This illness cannot be prevented. However, it can be treated. Early detection is vital to success.
The ability to identify the symptoms of severe depression is essential in the process of diagnosis and treatment. There are many different symptoms that are identified with depression. One of the most obvious is that the inflicted will begin to draw into themselves. They find it hard to deal with those around them. They cannot overcome their feelings of guilt, hopelessness and uselessness. They are constantly agitated and irritable. In the severest of cases those suffering from this disease may feel that they hear voices or believe they have received visits from the devil. At some point many of these victims of Severe Depression will consider suicide as a way of escape. Those affected by this illness need the support of those around them and treatment that will give them confidence once again.
Severe depression is terrible. Victims become unable to live like they used to. There is no feeling like the feeling of losing self-control. Treatment is the only option. The weapons of choice in the fight against depression are anti-depressants and talk therapy. Support groups can also help. The path to better living begins with the sufferer looking for help. They can once again gain the self-control they once had. The first step is to admit to the disease and look for help.

Severe Depression (Paperback) $63.9 Major depressive disorder is highly prevalent, recurrent, and associated with inter-episodic dysfunction. Individuals with severe depression exhibit profound morbidity, co-morbidity, disability, cost, and mortality. Severe depression is a heterogeneous phenotype with a lack of standardized definition. The chronic and heterogeneous nature of severe depression results in a lower probability of spontaneous remission and often a chronic course. The complicated course of illness in severe depression results in frequent clinical visits and longer courses of therapy. Pharmacological treatment strategies for severe depression are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, norepinephrine-serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. These agents, alone and in various combinations, as well as psychosocial treatments, electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, vagal nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation, are under investigation. In addition, a variety of novel augmentation strategies are being tested. Hitherto relatively few reviews, texts or monographs have focused on the diagnosis and management of severe depression. Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library, this concise pocketbook covers the clinical features and definition of severe major depressive disorder. It focuses on current treatment strategies as well as an algorithmic approach to selecting and sequencing therapies for individuals with severe depression. Novel systematic approaches as well as psychosocial strategies will also be reviewed. This book will serve as a valuable quick reference for practitioners in mental health (i.e. clinical psychiatrists, trainees, specialist nurses, as well as primary care providers). The book will also be of interest to private sectors and researchers. |
