It is not right that a person should go through their life with depression because it is a draining condition that affects others who are close to the person afflicted,to make matters worse it is now recognized that there is more than one type of this illness. BTW, I found a site about psychology in Spanish: psicologos. People suffer for different reasons but basically it is a result of having some unresolved issues in their lives,almost every person will suffer from it (usually to a lesser degree) from time to time during their lives. You just need to make sure that you're getting the help you need to overcome the problem,it is also important to discover just what has caused the problem in the fist place.
We can all have periods when we feel very low and there is normally a very good reason for this feeling,a person is not necessarily diagnosed with depression just because they feel this way. It is normal to have problems but it is how you deal with them that matters,some people feel they are unable to act to correct whatever the problem is, but that is the key element in beating the condition. If you just try to ignore it and do not take any action, seek help or treatment, you may end up with more problems,a person end up feeling more helpless than they did before, and it becomes a vicious circle that must be broken.
Probably the second most common cause is a person's place of work and could be the result of confrontation, stressful work, intimidation or even harassment,without an intermediary stepping in these circumstances often result in the person suffering with panic attacks as well. This type of situation can make carrying out normal work duties difficult and will often result in the person taking long term sickness leave,at that point it is imperative they receive urgent medical help to work through these problems. On occasion, it is possible for a person to be on medication for a different condition which can cause depression,where side-effects have created these feelings where no real problem exists.
If signs like this become apparent, the medication needs to be stopped as soon as possible and the doctor who prescribed the medication consulted. The hardest cases of depression to deal with are those where there is no apparent cause,when they don't seem to have any cause that can be identified as the reason for the problem, medical staff will have to research the patient further. If there are issues that are hard to work through then help will be needed to resolve these issues,if they cannot associate the cause with their condition then the way forward is made very hard.
Bipolar or manic depression is notoriously difficult to diagnose and owing to the many types of the condition,unfortunately, new studies have found that owing to new overlap theories it can actually take up to five years before a person could be correctly diagnosed as suffering from this condition. The responsibility of finding help lies squarely on the sufferer's shoulders but this cannot happen until they assume responsibility. Just making that first move can make all the difference and enable the patient to feel as if they are making appositive move towards their treatment,if it is having a detrimental affect on your life then once something positive is done there will be a sense of relief which is the first step to becoming cured.
