DEPRESSION

DEPRESSION IN YOUNG PEOPLE
In most of the cases is not about a simple state of sadness, but rather a disease that, like any other, requires of medical treatment for his definitive overcoming.
The spring approaches and our son every day is more apathetic and sad. At the beginning we thought that he would have had a little transient problem and that its face would change in a few days. But it has not been in this way. Apparently, the boy undergoes a depression that, according to our all lifelong doctor, is convenient to attack as soon as possible.

What happens to me?
Depression is the name of a disturbance of the affectivity that causes a variation in the perception, the sleep and therefore, in the living way.
There are Two types of depressions clearly differentiated: Endogenous (caused by a biological cerebral trouble) and the so called sad dystimae (caused by environmental factors). Both need medical treatment to be overcome. To think that any person can leave back this disturbance type by its own means is one of the most common errors. At the present time, it is perfectly demonstrated that only a minimum percentage of young people between twenty and thirty years with slight depressions is able to leave the problem by themselves.
Indeed for that reason, it is so important to assume the gravity of the subject as soon as possible.
If we perceived that something is happening to our son, we must try to go consult a specialist. Without alarmism nor excessive haste but with the certainty that that is, indeed, what the boy really needs.
Consult the physician
Although is the doctor the one that must confirm if a young person undergoes a depression or not, there are very characteristic symptoms that can put to us on the alert: The states of anxiety, headaches, constipation, dryness of mouth, loss of appetite, tachycardia, tremors… are some of them.
But perhaps the most significant in these cases, are the psychic reactions that usually appear when a depressive pattern appears. When a boy is sad without reason and in a totally out of proportion form, he feels misunderstood and he self isolates from those who more love and surround him; the usual is that he is depressed by one reason or other.
