Stress and depression are serious mental illnesses, which are rapidly taking people's lives these days. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), every year more than 8 lakh people across the world commit suicide due to depression. This problem is the second leading cause of death, especially among youth aged 15-29 years. Despite this, people often do not recognize its initial symptoms, which makes depression even more dangerous.
Dr. Sameer Parikh, psychiatrist at Fortis Hospital, says that the initial symptoms of depression are very common in nature, which is why many people ignore them. Some of these common symptoms include a feeling of hopelessness, lack of interest in any work, apathy towards life, lack of self-confidence and a strange feeling of fatigue. To such a person everything seems meaningless and life also seems meaningless.
What is the expert's opinion?
Dr. Parikh said that in stressful situations a person's mood changes rapidly. In some people, wrong thinking becomes so big that they start considering themselves unsuccessful in everything they do. Gradually the person starts losing confidence in his abilities and starts feeling that he is no longer suitable for any work. If a person is experiencing such symptoms for two weeks or more, it is a clear sign that he or she should seek immediate medical attention.
What is the solution?
The most important step for people suffering from depression is to recognize it as a mental illness and get it treated. Nowadays, many psychotherapy methods and medicines are available for the treatment of depression, through which a person can gradually feel improvement in his mental condition. People who show these symptoms are advised to visit a psychiatrist and take care of their mental health. Steps taken at the right time can save your life.
