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 caused by the disease. Approximately one in five of us will experience at some point in our lives. This means that it is worth knowing as much as possible about this disease and responding early.
Symptoms and effects of depression
Many people experience low moods 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. 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 symptoms of depression
- withdrawing from close family and friends
- relying on alcohol and sedatives
- not doing usually enjoyable activities
- loss or change of appetite
- feeling guilty and indecisive
Treatment for depression
- 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 bereavement, sexual or physical abuse, and severe stress. Detailed laboratory and environmental analyses allow us to present a unique treatment plan, medical restoration and relaxation therapy in luxury surroundings that fit your personal needs.
