I love reading as a teenager, it was my escape. I would read anything I could get my hands on, Encyclopedias, Readers Digest, novels and even my parents self help books. It was from these that I came across the symptoms of depression. These were something that I had been experiencing for years but had been unable to put a name to, nor a way of describing how I felt. Thirty years later, I now have a good understanding of this illness and how it influences a person's life. According to www.add-adhd-help-center.com, statistics show that 13 to 14 million people worldwide suffer with the effects of depressive disorders and they have to live with these.
I cannot remember the title, but one of the very first articles I read, contained information regarding depression that still remains true today.
Clinically depressed people suffer from sleeplessness, or they sleep too much, are restless and irritable.
There is no interest in pleasurable distractions, food and taking care of personal hygiene.
The person suffering from depression also consistently feels tired, or is constantly exhausted, and feels they never have enough energy to get through the day.
More recent studies have shown that ever more people are suffering from depressive disorders; you will be able to discover more on www.add-adhd-help-center.com. This also shows that other symptoms include:
An attitude of futility, persistent sadness, and feelings of being worthless;
Weight loss or gain
Overeating as well as under-eating;
Physical illness, particularly stomach pains, digestive disorders and headaches, although these symptoms are not limited to depression. If these symptoms are connected to depression, they are persistent and may be treatment resistant.
Obsession with thoughts of suicide and or dying;
I found out-in my forties-I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). A sister disorder is depression. It makes sense that I was fascinated with, intrigued by, or made it imperative to study the disorder of depression, as wherever I went, ADD went, and wherever ADD went, depression went. If you have ADD, depression, and/or experience symptoms of one or both, please know there are many, many books, articles, people, treatments, and solutions. You are not alone and you are not hopeless. You can get that refrigerator you are carrying around off your back. You can stop eating everything in that refrigerator, can wake up from heavy-boned sleep and escape, can shut up the seemingly convincing voice that recommends suicide as a solution, and can actually, one day, smile or even laugh at something again. - 15266
