Depression

Comprehensive Medical Advice on Depression

Depression is a common but serious disease that involves psychich and emotional symptoms: for example depressed mood, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, weakness, irritability, concentration problems, sleep disorders.

Many people with depressive illness have difficulties to ask for help. Mental illnesses are still a taboo subject. They are regarded as a weakness. Depressed people are ashamed to talk about their problems and are afraid of not being taken seriously. In addition, wide-spread concerns are: fear of getting addicted to the medication for depression or the medication could change the personality and lead to apathy or causes a change in appearance.

People with depressive illness often hope that the depression subsides by itself. They blame themselves because they can't cope with the tasks in their everyday life and think of their condition and experience falsely as self-inflicted. They often try again and again by their own efforts to overcome the depression. Tormented by self-doubt and fear they wage a silent struggle and endure their condition.
