When I was a teen and reading everything from novels to Reader’s Digests to Mom or Dad’s encyclopedias and self-aid books, I was fascinated with a particular malaise which I had felt for years but had no words to articulate. Even through the process of collecting my much-anticipated personal trainer certification, I didn’t feel the excitement you would expect. I had most of the symptoms of depression; therefore, I was bent on reading articles concerning depression. Which was about thirty years ago, so while the info then was more limited than it is nowadays, I have a better understanding of an illness (or syndrome) which severely impacts those with it and those who live with persons who have it: such statistics that hold which in any given year, some 13 to 14 million human beings will suffer some degree of depressive disorder (according to the ADD/ADHD help center).
One of the first articles I read (the title of which escapes me at the moment) contained data on the symptoms of depression, data that though holds true now: I mean, it is much like data concerning how to get rid of debt, it is timeless.
The clinically depressed person is restless, sleepless, sleeps too much, and/or is irritable.
He or she loses interest in once-enjoyable activities and pastimes – things which perfectly fit their niche which they used to really enjoy doing, in food, and in taking care of his or her person hygiene wants.
Another of the early-read symptoms of depression also holds true nowadays: the depressed person is continuously or consistently tired or exhausted and has less than normal energy.
Further studies, increased numbers of depressed persons, and updated documentation also address additional symptoms of depression: also according to the ADD/ADHD help center, these symptoms include the following:
Perpetual, or persistent sadness, worthlessness, and/or attitudes of futility
Weight loss or gain.
Overeating (akin to undereating)
Persistent physical manifestations of (but not limited to) depression—such as headache, pain, stomach and digestion problems—all of which may be resistant to treatment
Recurring notion of or obsession with suicide/death.
.
I found out—in my forties—I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). A sister disorder is depression. It makes sense which I was fascinated with, intrigued by, or created it imperative to study the disorder of depression, as wherever I went, ADD went, and wherever ADD went, depression went. If you have ADD, depression, and/or experience symptoms of 1 or both, please recognize there are several, countless books, articles, individuals, treatments, and solutions. You are not alone and you are not hopeless. You can get that refrigerator you’re carrying around off your back. You can stop eating everything in which refrigerator, can wake up from heavy-boned sleep and escape, can shut up the seemingly convincing voice which recommends suicide as a answer, and can truly, one day, smile or even laugh at something once more.
