I just want to explain to newcomers: "Success Diary" is not just a site about psychology, it's a place where you get answers to your questions, read success stories of famous people, find a lot of recommendations for all occasions, so do not subscribe to articles- then, make yourself worse.
And, to prove to you the usefulness of this site, today we will consider symptoms of depression of , which are especially often manifested in the autumn period, when dirty rainy filth outside the window, piercing cold and the need to wrap up in warm clothes make sad melancholy.
Symptoms of depression can not be ignored!
It's hard to believe, but until now many people think like extinct dinosaurs, so they believe that there is no depression at all. These are all tales of pampered ladies, weaklings and hysterics, who simply do not want to take themselves in hand.
This can be repeated a thousand times that, according to doctors, depression is a serious illness that requires serious treatment, ignoring which can end very badly( for example, a patient's suicide) - they will remain with their archaic opinion.
Change it can only symptoms of depression , found in a loved one 5 minutes before the disaster.
This is exactly what happened to my mother's colleague.
Nina Petrovna is a lady of the old school, a true pupil of the Communist Party( she, in my opinion, is still a member of her), without weaknesses and doubts.
She gave birth to her daughter rather late( almost under 40) and the age difference created an even greater conflict between fathers and children.
The situation worsened when Yana became 11th grade. Classmates flaunted in fashionable clothes, and Yana wore a school uniform chosen by her mother.
Girlfriends ran off on dates, and from Yana they demanded to run home after school. Many students were engaged with a tutor to increase their chances of admission, Nina Petrovna also believed that these bourgeois habits and the school curriculum and good grades are enough to become a student.
In short, Yana could only sympathize.
The girl faded before her eyes, she ate badly, lost weight to impossibility, spoke in a low, lifeless voice, suffered from insomnia, from which dark circles formed under her eyes.
When Yana went to work at Nina Petrovna one day, my wise mother advised her to pay attention to her child, who is clearly suffering from depression.
Iron lady advised my mother not to bear nonsense, because her child has such stupid illnesses can not be.
15 main signs of depression
In the veracity of my mother's words, Nina Petrovna believed only when in the history of the browser she found several links that open websites like "I do not want to live!" And "Best methods of suicide."
After that, poor Yana finally got the treatment she needed.
10 symptoms of depression in women
Yana's treatment was lengthy because her unfeeling mother ignored the problem for too long.
Remember, the earlier you diagnose the symptoms of depression in yourself or your loved one, the more likely the chances of a quick recovery.
