Anxiety and depression
Most of us do experience occasional outbreaks of anxiety or
momentary depression, at least once or twice in our lifetime.
Anxiousness, changing moods, shifting metal attitude and a short
term depression are all so common to thousands of people allover
the world. Low intensity anxiety and depression also work as
positive parameters, when we can prepare for a pending task or
take precious time to reflect on our actions, and regroup our
effort in order to get success in life. Thus, anxiety and
depression are a common part of our life, often more helpful
than overtly harmful. But, when anxiety and depression seem to
crop up out of nowhere, persist for many months without
providing much relief, or if it interferes with daily life, then
you're probably suffering from a grave illness or a permanent
symptom.
Anxiety and depression are among the most prevalent and highly
treatable forms of mental disease in the whole world. People who
are suffering from acute anxiety display a varied degree of
symptoms, which range from trembling, muscle aches, intense
sweating, dizziness, extreme fatigue, jumping heart and dry
mouth. But, anxiety disorder is much more serious than it is
assumed to be, just because, persons who are suffering from such
a malady become practically disabled, both mentally and
physiologically, making the life a hell. Anxiety and its
symptoms can be categorized into many types and one must realize
that it is very common disorder, treatable by many modern
treatment techniques.
Depression is possibly one of the most common mental conditions
in the world today and almost 150 million people suffer from
symptoms of depression. One in four women and one in ten men can
easily be diagnosed with depression, at some point in their
lives, though very often it goes undiagnosed. They may not even
know that what they are experiencing are symptoms of a treatable
illness. Most visible signs of depression are often associated
with the daily work, when people tend to neglect even the most
common of daily work like brushing their teeth. Other visible
signs include intense sadness, helplessness, irritability and
uncontrolled anger. One of the most dangerous side signs is
probably the tendency to commit suicide. Associated symptoms
like memory lapses, slurred speech and lack neuromuscular
movement are not uncommon in the later stages of depression.
Anxiety and depression outbreak can occur at any age and time.
Most of these patients are usually very stubborn and often never
believe that they are affected by the illness. Advanced stages
of anxiety and depression require frequent hospitalization and
intensive medical care. Unattended depression can also lead to
further serious medical complications like psychosis,
schizophrenia and mental disorder. However, a proper medical
care and regular counseling will help patients to recover from
the ordeals of anxiety and depression.
