Introduction

One of the most debilitating conditions that a person can encounter

is the state of depression. For many people who have never

experienced depression, it can be difficult to understand what

someone who is currently suffering with it is experiencing.

For the person who is suffering it can be difficult to explain exactly what they are experiencing, since many times it is also tough for them to understand.

The following information will provide you with a more clear understanding of what depression is, and how various types of both physical and mental exercise can help to alleviate its symptoms.

What Is Depression

Before we get into the scientific standpoint on depression, let’s get a clear understanding of what depression feels like. Depression feels like an overwhelming sense of uselessness, pointlessness, and lethargy.

Let me explain this. When you are in a state of depression, you will feel as though you have no motivation for anything, nothing excites you, nothing interests you, and even the smallest tasks can feel unconquerable.

Many people experience overwhelming sadness and distress, often times seemingly for no reason and in some cases the mind will dwell on negative and depressive thoughts, further enhancing and encouraging these feelings of depression.

When you are depressed, the only thing that makes sense to you is the thought of curling up in bed and closing your eyes in the hope that the world and everything in it will just disappear.

You lose all interest in what is going on in your life and it can

seem that no matter how hard you try, or how hard your friends and

family try to pull you out of this state, nothing ever works, as

though you are falling deeper and deeper into a black hole.

So what does science and more specifically medicine say about depression?

2 | P a g e

According to the modern viewpoint, there is no absolute understanding of the state of depression but it is certainly considered to be a serious mental health condition that, if left untreated, can affect people physically and mentally for days,

weeks, months and even years.

When diagnosing depression a doctor or mental health practitioner

will take into consideration the following things:

Family History –It has been repeatedly observed that in people who suffer from depression there is a high likelihood that another family member or ancestor suffered from depression also.

Personality –People who place themselves under a lot of stress, or who worry a lot, have low self-esteem, find it difficult to handle criticism or who are overly self-critical or negative are more likely to experience depression since their mental states regularly reflect many concerns and problems.

Serious Medical Illness –A serious illness or other medical condition increases the chance of a person experiencing depression, due to the overwhelming thoughts about not getting well, or being incapacitated for long periods of time during the healing and recovery phases.

Drug & Alcohol Use & Abuse –Statistically many people who experience depression have a higher usage of drugs and alcohol, which has led to the development of a theory of collaboration between the consumption of drugs and alcohol with the development of depression.

Studies have proven that while many people experience great heights

of happiness while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, in the

long term the ability of their brain to produce ‘happy chemicals’ is

negatively affected and leads many people deeper into depression and

possible dependency or addiction.

Symptoms Of Depression

There are many symptoms that can be identified as associated with depression. When reading the following list, please take into account that just because a person is or has experiencedsomeof these symptoms does not mean that they are suffering from depression.

A diagnosis of depression is made by

a doctor or a licensed mental health

practitioner following diagnostic

criteria set forth by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of

Mental Disorders (DSM5).

Depression is not the same as an occasional low mood, sadness or lack of pleasure in once enjoyed activities, but instead the symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in work, social, and other areas of life.

•Not everyone will experience all the symptoms •The symptoms can be severe or mild •The symptoms can vary based on the stage of depression •The symptoms are not stemming from substance abuse or some other medical condition
