Thank you for visiting and choosing to read this article, it is a pleasure for me to provide you excellent written materials.
Just because you feel sad and depressed for a few days does not mean that you have depression. Depression is a very serious disease that can last for years. Each year about 15 million Americans suffer from this illness.
The sad fact is that only a third of those Americans will ever seek help for their affliction. The age- old stereotype associated with mental illness influences many to still avoid admitting they suffer from depression. Depression is a progressive illness. Without attention it will become more and more severe. Ignorance in this case isn’t bliss.
A variety of factors, and even combinations of these factors, lead to depression. Physical and emotional problems, chemical issues, even DNA all play a part. It can be given birth by the very environment that the victim lives in. Stress and other negative influences have been known to contribute. It takes a lot of knowledge to address a complex issue like depression. We also recognize the intricacy of man’s mind.
Work continues into the mind and brain and how they work, what makes them tick. We know that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. We are learning more every day about how the whole process works. The more we learn about depression the better we can treat it.
There are a variety of medications available to treat depression. Of course the market is full of ‘quick fix’ antidotes. Clinical tests to prove something really works in treating depression are required. At one time asylums and mental institutions were filled to the brim with mentally ill people.
Fortunately that has all been changed. In 1988 the anti-depressant ‘Prozac’ first hit the market in the United States. It was proven to work, and thus is still prescribed today even though it can have serious side effects.
Since then a new class of anti-depressants has become popular as well. Currently depression is being treated with SSRI or (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) such as Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa, and Luvox. These have limited side effects and have been shown to work. Herbal medications also have a place in this market.
Hyperforin, an ingredient in the St. John Wort extract, is common in those that seem to work as well as anti-depressants. Some herbal remedies don’t contain this ingredient in the proper strength so they don’t work. Research and information are your friends when it comes to the right medications for depression.
In conclusion, I hope the ideas, issues and information I have brought forward help you in the future.
