After my last two articles on depression and suicide, I was dismayed (I use this term in the absence of something better) with the number of women, between 30 and 60 years old, who consider depression, a disease considered the “evil of the century”, as “weird”, lack of what to do ?, and other things I prefer not to comment on. How sad!
So because we belong to the generation that is too lazy to read and report, I decided to collect scientific data and try to help these people look at themselves and the people around them, if possible.
- Men.
- Women and children from all over the world.
- Regardless of race or social status.
- Are subject to it.
- “It is estimated that its lifetime prevalence in the general population is around 15%.
- In other words.
- Out of every 100 people in the population.
- Have 15 had or had depressive episodes in their lives?Without proper treatment.
- Depression has a chronic and recurrent progression.
- It is estimated that after the first episode the risk of recurrence is 50%; after the second episode this risk increases to 70 -80% and after three depressive episodes.
- Is the risk of subsequent episodes 90%?According to psychiatrist M.
- Britto de Macedo Soares.
Yes, these are research-based figures According to the same article, world health organization (WHO) data, depression is the leading cause of disability among all medical diseases and ranks fourth among all the causes contributing to the global burden of disease. , according to the WHO Global Disease Charge Project, corresponding to 4. 4% of years of life lived with disabilities. For people age 15 to 44, is depression responsible for 8. 6% of years lived with disabilities?
Yes, this number includes people who consider the problem a “crisis of anger” or “lack of what to do. “And the psychiatrist continues: “Comobility with depression aggravates the health rates of any medical disease. A WHO study that recruited more than 200,000 participants over the age of 18 in different countries around the world found that depression alone resulted in the largest reduction in health rates compared to chronic diseases such as angina, arthritis and asthma. diabetes, on their own. In addition, comorability with depression worsened the health rates of one of these isolated conditions, increasing your risk.
It results in significant personal, labor, economic and social losses, and is linked to increased morbidity and mortality from other clinical diseases if not treated, so early identification and appropriate treatment leading to the remission of symptoms is critical, he said.
According to WHO, 121 million people suffer from depression worldwide, and Brazil ranks first in the disease prevalence ranking in developing countries. More numbers. 121 million people suffer from depression, crying out for help in a secular world, where people consider a public health problem like?or ‘lack of what to do’.
For those who focus so much on the well-being of others (career, boyfriend, children) and forget about themselves, here’s a caveat: psychiatrist Susan Abram of the University of North Carolina has discovered that epidemiological studies are important because they evoke “People need to be better informed about depression and other mood disorders. Depression is not sadness, it is a difficult disease, with mortality rates above 30%,” he said.
Feeling sad about each other’s happiness is not normal. Always being in a bad mood, thinking only about work or sex is not normal. Dedicate your life to an outside thing, ignore the disease, or treat it as passing?Not to resolverá. al, it delays and aggravates the situation.
An IBGE study analyzed Brazilians age 18 and older and found that 61. 8 million people suffered some form of depression this year.
So, for you who consider the disease to be “mimimi,” who write about God’s lack when you see news of suicide or harassment, you consider “fresh” an ever sad or moody person (and that person can be yourself) here. it’s another caveat: no one chooses to get sick.
And instead of wasting time criticizing and judging these people, look in and around you. Maybe there are a lot of people by your side who need a word of comfort, not judgment. Maybe you focus so much on the job and keep up?So busy that you don’t have time to play the clown?, as one reader said, that when you realize or lose this job or your kids leave home (yes, the kids grow up, see?), you’ll see that you’re running away from your inner monsters for fear of facing them.
Wake up while the time is right. Be less selfish, give yourself and the people you love more time, you’re not the judge of anyone’s life, so take more time to get to know yourself and discover the evils that have ended with so many lives, rather than judging and dealing with issues like depression, suicide. and bullying as “freshness. ” Your words and actions are a very clear mirror of who you are inside. And if you can’t empathize with yourself or others, you need help urgently. And yes, you may be depressed, let go of the ego and take care of yourself!
Namaste.
