Are You Suffering From Depression

Are You Suffering From Depression? Depression affects more of us than most people ever realize. This is the peak season for it as many call it the winter blues. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It affects almost all of us at one time or another. Most snap out of it rather quickly and go on with our lives. For some, once it comes on never get out of it. . This is an article that I think you will find of great importance to help if you are battling depreesion. It affects our sleep, our appetite, our energy levels, and our ability to interact with other people. If you think you are suffering depression, seek a medical professional for help. While it is not deadly on onset, over time it will shorten your life span by taking a toll on your health in many ways. Loss of appetite causes one to enter into improper dieting which controls the body in many way's. Physical exhaustion enters in even though you and those around you think you are sleeping more than you should. The sleep never enters into the rem state. This is where the body restores itself mentally and physically. If the mind and body can not heal itself the degeneration begins to enter into the equation of you and your daily life. Unclear mindset is another side effect. You never think clearly, digest mental input properly, and short and long term memory becomes affected. You can't remember menial tasks such as why you entered into a room. Most all of us can think to mild episodes we have experienced but to the depressed person this becomes overwhelming. They go around as if there is a huge weight on them. They have no energy or drive. No interest in previous hobbies, passions, or routines. One change that seems to go unexplained is the sudden body clock waking the day is a struggle to get through. The next body adjustment seems to happen around 2:00 pm as there is a chemical release that begins to reverse some of the effects. People who suffer depression many times will try to sleep until the afternoon to avoid some of the fear and anxiety. Left unchecked it can lead to many other diseases and medical problems! While these are not definite actual times for most, they are guidelines. Some don't function well until late afternoon or evening. Others are better to get up early and nap when they get too exhausted. If you suspect you are suffering in depression then please go get help now. If treated it can be controlled and your life can return to normal. Left untreated and undiagnosed will lead to further decline in your health, your lifestyle, and the quality of life with others. Depression is a medical condition, not a choice!
