About depression
- a common mental disorder
Depression is a mental disorder that can affect people of all ages. A study by the World Health Organization estimated that over 320 million people are living with depression. The condition is cited as a major contributor to the overall global burden. Approximately one in five of us will experience depression at some point in our lives. This means that it is worth knowing as much as possible about this disease and responding early.
Depression symptoms and effects
Many people feel down for short periods of time, but when this becomes a debilitating factor on a regular basis, it may be an indicator of something far more serious. Depression symptoms may persist for many months or even years, and depression can affect the way a person thinks and behaves. Feelings of dread, sadness or worthlessness can be very debilitating and can severely limit an individual’s ability to function normally at home or work.
The most common depression symptoms are:
- withdrawing from close family and friends
- relying on alcohol and sedatives
- not doing commonly enjoyable activities
- loss or change of appetite
- feeling guilty and indecisive
Depression Treatment
- a personal journey to wellbeing
Depression can develop from a combination of factors that are physical, psychological, biochemical, or genetic. It can also be triggered by social factors and adverse life events such as grief, sexual or physical abuse, and severe stress. At Kusnacht Practice depression treatment center, detailed laboratory and environmental analyses allow us to present a unique depression treatment plan, medical restoration and relaxation therapy in luxury surroundings that fit your personal needs.
Contact our depression treatment center if you need an individual interview or dedicated consultation.
