Depression: no will to live!
personal notes from dr. Italian Claudio
Distinguish, with big lines and to make us understand, as our intent in this
website, a minor disorder, dysthymia, or bad mood, casual, less serious, more
limited in time and in the signs from depressive disorder more real, more
serious psychiatric and relevance.
Dysthymia.
It 's a chronically depressed mood, present for most of the day, nearly every
day for 2 years. Individuals with dysthymic disorder feel sad, "down in the
dumps." They still have one or more symptoms listed below:
poor appetite or conversely hyperphagia (eating chocolate, sweets, snacks etc..)
insomnia or hypersomnia
low energy or fatigue
low self-esteem
difficulty concentrating or making decisions
feelings of hopelessness

And 'this dysthymia in 2% of the elderly that may arise as a loss of self, that
is inability of the elderly to meet emerging needs, dysthymia occurs especially
in autumn or winter, when the elderly are more time at home and alone, it may be
associated with other sentomi: feeling chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations,
dizziness, abdominal pain, constipation, urinary frequency, urgency, voiding,
widespread musculoskeletal pain, headache, memory disturbance, dizziness. May be
associated, again, true systemic diseases:
hypothyroidism
ischemic (infarcted cardiac patient, hospitalized in Utica, etc.)
cerebrovascular disease (stroke patient with crying, despair, is not viable)
Parkinson's disease (patient confused, aggressive, antisocial, who feels
abandoned and disabled)
Major depressive disorder.
It can be mild, moderate or severe. According to studies, Americans are affected
26% of women and 12% of men. Especially if there is a family first-degree
relative who suffers.
Major depressive episode if:
There are 5 or more of the symptoms listed below, is characterized by the
following symptoms are present simultaneously for a period of two weeks, not
caused by specific pathological conditions (eg. Serious illness and
hospitalization), nor associated with delusional ideas:
Depressed mood for most of the day, nearly every day
marked decrease of interest and pleasure in all activities of the day;
weight loss or weight gain or decreased appetite nearly every day.
insomnia or hypersomnia
agitation and psychomotor retardation nearly every day
fatigue
feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt (which may be
delusional) nearly every day
reduced ability to concentrate or think
thoughts of death (not just fear of dying, but suicidal ideation without a
specific plan or design a specific plan for committing suicide.
. Major depressive disorder, single episode if:
The symptoms cause significant distress and impaired functioning in social,
occupational or other important areas.
The symptoms are not dependent on use of substances, eg. drugs
The symptoms depend on mourning the loss of that person (eg. Spouse
There were no other psychiatric manifestations, eg. schizophrenia, delusional or
psychotic depressive disorder, or hypomanic.
Major depressive disorder applicant
presence of two or more major depressive episodes, interspersed with two months
of each other
there must be other manifestations of psychiatric relevance (as above)
Care (!)
And 'written with exclamation point because any disturbance of mood is never
overlooked and I tell you from experience and knowledge of the facts: it is not
the first time we read of suicides in the newspaper of people at the height of
career, home divorced, students etc..
The first objective is to go to the psychiatrist, without shame or hesitation!
Knowing that 20% of the population, subjected to the pressure of daily stress,
suffers from psychiatric problems. The psychiatrist will carefully assess your
problem and prescribe an antidepressant medication that "stitches", rather, on
you, as the symptoms that you are suffering. They are:
the older tricyclic antidepressants
the new SSRIs, serotonin reuptake inhibitors that is, for example: fluoxetine,
sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine and citalopram
other antidepressants, bupropion, nefazodone, trazodone, venlafaxine,
mirtazapine and reboxetine.
MAO inhibitors.
The treatment is highly specialized, so you should contact a psychiatrist, drugs
early in treatment may give sedation, but then this is a beneficial effect
exploitable for therapeutic purposes (that is, if a person suffers from insomnia
because his boss the is running out and sends him down, so better not be!) can
sometimes give dry mouth, impaired ability to focus objects, tachycardia, sexual
dysfunction, anticholinergic per share and finally can give increased weight,
but it well if a person was previously asthenic. So the care you need to do if
you have the directions!
And we close with a curiosity in the 80 studies have shown that exposure to
sunlight seems to 10,000 lux directed toward the face of patient X at least 30
minutes a day can treat depression and stress. The discovery means that in these
cursed our Northern cities, no parks, no sun and no color live evil will take
account of the political masters with the architects to design cities of the
future, where parks and life in the light of sun is important as you see the
article soma_psiche_ambiente had already hit the target, ie a person living in a
social and natural environment in which his body is immersed in an environment
with lowering the psyche, ie, with central nervous system that connects us the
rest, it follows that if I am wrong in my natural environment, why do not I have
contact with the social, his neighbor, coll'ortolano, with pork, with the priest
and so on, nor with nature, suffers the My mind and my body.
