In my opinion, many people are ignorant of the seriousness of depression. It is one of the most common mental illnesses in the world. First of all, I decided to write about depression because it is one of the most dangerous, complex, and difficult psychological conditions. For example, depression is a mood disorder in which a person experiences a constant feeling of sadness and can affect a person's thoughts and feelings in a bad way. Secondly, there were many reasons that caused depression. For example, shocking news, such as the death of a close relative or the divorce of parents, can cause depression. Thirdly, some drugs can cause side effects, including depression. For example, 60% of people who take medicine for blood pressure feel depression and disappointment. Lastly, women are usually more depressed than men. Therefore, in 2017, there was a chart showing that the number of women diagnosed with depression doubles that of men. In addition, work stress and financial difficulties can cause depression. In conclusion, depression is the most important and prevalent mental disorder, and everyone must know how to deal with it because if they ignore it, it will get more dangerous and more complex.

Everyone experiences sadness and unhappiness at the same time in their lives, and depression is more severe than sadness and unhappiness that interferes with a person's ability to engage in daily activities.  Depression has many serious symptoms. Firstly is introversion or loneliness, sitting alone in the dark and not talking to anyone, not mixing with people, whether they are family or strangers.  Tiredness and feeling hopeless.  Secondly, weight loss and weight gain, For example, many people lose their appetite and do not eat and therefore lose a lot of weight and weight loss causes less sleep and insomnia and some people eat their food.  Finally, loss of interest or enjoyment of most or all activities, such as losing love for a favorite hobby or sport.  Moreover, there is a problem with the ability to drive, make decisions and contemplate suicide.  In conclusion, I think depression has a personal impact more than its impact on society because it is a psychological condition and not a social problem.

Depressive disorder, frequently referred to simply as depression, is more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch. It's a serious mental health condition that requires understanding and medical care. Left untreated, depression can be devastating for those who have it and their families. Fortunately, with early detection, diagnosis and a treatment plan consisting of medication, psychotherapy and healthy lifestyle choices, many people can and do get better.

Some will only experience one depressive episode in a lifetime, but for most, depressive disorder recurs. Without treatment, episodes may last a few months to several years.

About 21 million U.S. adults- 8.4% of the population-had at least one major depressive episode in 2020. People of all ages and all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds experience depression, but it does affect some groups more than others.

Symptoms

Depression can present different symptoms, depending on the person. But for most people, depressive disorder changes how they function day-to-day, and typically for more than two weeks. Common symptoms include:

Changes in sleep

Changes in appetite

Lack of concentration

Loss of energy

Lack of interest in activities

Hopelessness or guilty thoughts

Changes in movement (less activity or agitation)

Physical aches and pains

Suicidal thoughts

Causes

Depression does not have a single cause. It can be triggered by a life crisis, physical illness or something else-but it can also occur spontaneously. Scientists believe several factors can contribute to depression:

Trauma. When people experience trauma at an early age, it can cause long-term changes in how their brains respond to fear and stress. These changes may lead to depression.

Genetics. Mood disorders, such as depression, tend to run in families.

Life circumstances. Marital status, relationship changes, financial standing and where a person lives influence whether a person develops depression.

Brain changes. Imaging studies have shown that the frontal lobe of the brain becomes less active when a person is depressed. Depression is also associated with changes in how the pituitary gland and hypothalamus respond to hormone stimulation.

Other medical conditions. People who have a history of sleep disturbances, medical illness, chronic pain, anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to develop depression. Some medical syndromes (like hypothyroidism) can mimic depressive disorder. Some medications can also cause symptoms of depression.

Drug and alcohol misuse. Adults with a substance use disorder are at significantly higher risk for experiencing a major depressive episode. Co-occurring disorders require coordinated treatment for both conditions, as alcohol can worsen depressive symptoms.

Diagnosis

To be diagnosed with depressive disorder, a person must have experienced a depressive episode lasting longer than two weeks. The symptoms of a depressive episode include:

Loss of interest or loss of pleasure in all activities

Change in appetite or weight

Sleep disturbances

Feeling agitated or feeling slowed down

Fatigue

Feelings of low self-worth, guilt or shortcomings

Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

Suicidal thoughts or intentions

Treatments

Although depressive disorder can be a devastating illness, it often responds to treatment. The key is to get a specific evaluation and treatment plan. Safety planning is important for individuals who have suicidal thoughts. After an assessment rules out medical and other possible causes, a patient-centered treatment plans can include any or a combination of the following:

Psychotherapy including cognitive behavioral therapy, family-focused therapy and interpersonal therapy.

Medications including antidepressants, mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medications.

Exercise can help with prevention and mild-to-moderate symptoms.

Brain stimulation therapies can be tried if psychotherapy and/or medication are not effective. These include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for depressive disorder with psychosis or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for severe depression.

Light therapy, which uses a light box to expose a person to full spectrum light in an effort to regulate the hormone melatonin.

Alternative approaches including acupuncture, meditation, faith and nutrition can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Throughout the time, many people had experiences with depression, some of them went through it without any side effects, and some of them went through a lot of bad things that ended up with suicide. An example of a person who went through it with many side effects is Robin Williams. The actor we all knew in Mrs.Doubtfire, Jumanji, and my favorite movie of all the time, dead poets society. He was an actor who all the people of different ages liked and made sure that they watched all of his movies and shows. He talked about happiness, love, life, literature, and success. But behind the public eyes, all his fans didn’t have any idea that he was facing a lot of things starting from drugs and alcohol addiction and the considerable struggle he had with depression, and also that he was in an early stage of a disease that called Parkinson’s disease. Robin Williams was only 63 when he hanged himself in his California house in 2014. His wife argued that it was not only depression that killed him but a brain disease called diffuse Lewy body dementia (DLB). And she also noted that his chronic depression had come back with paranoia. Depression commonly takes place among people, causes sadness, and makes people suffer mentally and physically, and it also increases the risk of suicide. With effective treatment and proper supervision, it can go away, but it’s unlikely to cure itself.
