We are all human beings, we are all human beings.
We are alive and have a whole bunch of feelings that sometimes put us in despondency, sometimes make us sad, sometimes lead to bad sleep, and sometimes it causes bad thoughts, like "Why am I living? !"
This is quite normal, unless, of course, it lasts 365 days a year.
If despondency, apathy, insomnia and other biaques never leave you, then it is possible that your diagnosis is chronic depression , and therefore - it is worth seriously tackling its treatment.
Chronic depression: a little scientific data
Do you have any acquaintances who year after year wear their bored sour face?
I am sure that there are, because the statistics say that only in Ukraine over 2 million people are suffering from chronic depression. It's hard to even imagine what is going on in the world.
Looks like an epidemic, do not you think?
Scientists claim that the constant dejection is not the result of the person's reluctance to take control of himself, but a full-blown illness associated with chemical changes in the brain.
Serotonin is our assistant, which helps to find a common language with emotions, and it is his deficiency that leads to the appearance of chronic depression.
She even came up with the name: dysthymia.
Doctors believe that in addition to chemical changes in our hemispheres, , the chronic depression of can be triggered by personal and professional problems, medication intake, weather conditions, well, in general, unchanging components of our lives.
Symptoms of chronic depression
Recognizing dysthymia is easy enough, it has a number of pronounced symptoms:
- you are always sad, even when there is no special reason for it;
- , you hear a phrase every day from acquaintances: "Did something happen to you? And then you have a kind of upset ";
- you manage to count the million sheep flocks, but still can not fall asleep;
- in the morning you either break before the sun or refuse to leave the bed at all;
- you get tired, only writing a shopping list, and the trip to the store seems simply an impossible task;
- , it seems to you that you are to blame for all world cataclysms, inclusive with the Ebola fever;
- communication with friends, work, family, domestic living, Saturday knitting circle - everything that brought you pleasure earlier, it seems now unnecessary and uninteresting;
- you are sure that no one needs that no one likes you and that there is no benefit from your existence;

- unexpectedly appeared strange symptoms: the head hurts, the joints ache, the tail falls off;
- more and more often you ask yourself the question: "Is there life after death?".
- yesterday you noticed that a snail crawling alongside, overtook you;
If you can tick off the three items from this list, then most likely you are infected with chronic depression in one of two million Ukrainian patients or just go on about the fashionable disease now, instead of pulling yourself together.

"The main thing that should be remembered during the depression: the lost time can not be returned. Nobody hid it for a rainy day to compensate you for years of disaster.
