Mental Health Symptoms
There are different levels of symptoms in all diagnosis, and
while some symptoms may appear similar to other prognosis, the
symptoms should not be confused. It is important to examine a
patient closely before diagnosing the patient. Let's examine
depression, since it is one of the most common diagnose today.
There are many levels of depression, including major depressive
episodes, dysthymic, and bipolar manic depression, cyclothymic
and premenstrual dysthymic.
Diagnosis related to depression often has symptoms such as mood
swings. Since, most of the diagnosis is related it is important
to examine the patient carefully to properly diagnose the
patient. Normal mood swings are common for the most of us, but
when a patient illustrates lifted moods, this is known as mania.
Major Depressive Episodes often feel a sense of entrapment.
Major depressive episodes are also known as unipolar and are
often treated with antidepressants. Major depressive episodes
are linked to biologic imbalances, negative outlooks, genetics,
inability to handle stressors, chemical imbalances, personality
flaws, and so on.
There is no single cause available that helps us to understand
the diagnosis, and to date the prognosis is still under
investigation. Since the patients are often treated with
antidepressants the patient rarely finds complete recovery,
since researchers has proven these medicines are causing harm.
Related to many other depressions, major depressive episodes
often suffer symptoms including sadness, negative thinking,
suicidal tendencies, lack of interest, feelings of despair, and
so forth.
Often the patients are affected biologically, which includes
fatigue, exhaustion, nausea, headaches, and so forth. If the
symptoms are severe the patient may even hallucinate, or even
illustrate delusional behaviors. NOTE: Schizophrenia and
Psychosis as well as other diagnosis have similar or same
symptoms; therefore, it is important to examine the patient
thoroughly before treating the patient. Anyone with
schizophrenia will hallucinate or illustrate delusional
behaviors, while those that suffer depression are less extreme
and often rare.
When a person is illustrating depression, it is important to
take the patient to a doctor for thorough examination. In most
cases, these people are suffering medical issues that create the
depressive behaviors. If you treat the patient medically, it
might be possible to avoid psychological treatment. Covering
your grounds before becoming a long-term medicine addict can
save you additional despair. Bipolar or manic depression has
symptoms including mania, effected speech patterns, fatigue or
else inability to sleep, overzealous, or under zealous
frequently, and so forth.
Therapists claim that at least 75% of the patients that suffer
bipolar hallucinate or are delusional. Many of the patients with
bipolar often treating or act on suicidal thoughts. They also
threatening or assault other people around them regularly.
Studies has shown that people with bipolar is linked to
genetics. Therapists should carefully examine the patient to
rule out other disorders, including schizophrenia and psychosis,
as well as cyclothymic.
Cyclothymic is a common disorder and is deemed a form of
bipolar, less severe. Cyclothymic patients often have mood
swings known as 'hypomania." The symptoms are different from
what bipolar displays since the diagnosis is less severe.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is associated with the
hormones. This is a common stress or depression period when
women are menstruating.
There were previous arguments regarding this diagnose, however
in the early parts of the 90s the diagnosis was added to the
DSMIII-R. Symptoms include, diet change, feelings of
overwhelmed, anger, irrational thinking, headaches, cramping,
bloating and so forth. This diagnosis can easily be misconstrued
since abused patients suffer similar symptoms. Doctors often
treat patients with PMDD, giving them hormonal therapy. These
medicines has proven unhealthy and often do not resolve the
problems. Currently researchers are finding that medicines
giving to mental ill patients is causing harms, and creating
more problems.
Not all medicines are bad, but if a patient is taking
medications then the professionals are obligated to monitor the
patient carefully, examining symptoms and signs closely. If the
patient illustrates any signs of side affects, the medicine
should be changed, or altered in dosage. Again, there are
different levels of symptoms, as well as similar symptoms in few
of the diagnosis, therefore anyone treated for mental illness
should be carefully examined before diagnosing the patients
future. Having a healthy mind keeps us on track.
