WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOURSELF

Express their suffering and accept help

Say what it feels like to trust people when we go wrong is a good advice for everyone, at any time of life. Back on a painful experience to share with a loved one, cry if you feel like it ... it's all part of a natural process to get better.

Of course, when suffering from depression, it is not easy to talk about his feelings and emotions . The disease generates indeed guilt , feelings of failure and fatalism as we feel that all foreign aid is useless. This impression is false , of course. There are effective treatments for depression and the environment can play an important role in supporting these treatments

That is why , whenever possible , even if it is sometimes difficult , it is particularly important to accept help , to express what you feel, to trust the people who love us , hunting our thoughts the idea that we see as a child, as "being inferior" or as a "mentally ill ."

It is also essential when using accepted , not being overwhelmed by a sense of low self-esteem , or fear of being judged or disrepute , either by his family or his doctor. By his doctor , especially because it could lead to him conceal some essential diagnosis and treatment information ( reality of taking the treatment , adverse effects, the actual level of pain ... ) .

 
Identify the warning signs of depression
Learning to detect early signs of a depressive episode is to get into position to undertake a process of care as soon as possible and avoid a worsening of the disease.

These signs vary from one person to another ( each can have its own signs ) but they are often the same people who reappear in the same individual in the case of recurring problems ( which are repeated over time) .

The most common warning signs are:
• a change in mood ( including sadness and crying for no reason ) ;

• Loss of interest in activities that usually fun ;

• trouble sleeping (wake in the wee hours of the morning , no sleep ...)

• anxiety background with sharper times, including in situations previously considered routine and safe ( out shopping, for example);

• unusual irritability that requires a lot of energy to be controlled ;

• severe fatigue or slowness of movement ;

• an inability to act, to perform daily tasks ;

• a heightened sensitivity to noise or the surrounding agitation;

• unusual changes ( increase or decrease ) of appetite;

• etc. .
Recognizing its own signs is particularly useful in the case of recurring problems. Keep a journal noting his mood throughout the day is a good idea , for yourself and for your doctor.
