The causes of depression
are diverse and complex. These include brain neurotransmission, family history of diseases, life stressors, and learned helplessness, among others, which can contribute to the development of depression. Sometimes, a sense of depression can arise for no apparent reason, even when nothing specific has occurred.
Depression
can be gradually treated to restore health. A depressive episode typically lasts around 6 to 13 months. Without treatment, individuals may struggle to maintain normal functioning and might even contemplate self-harm. Two-thirds of depression patients have considered suicide, and 15% of those with depression die by suicide. However, with proper treatment, improvements in depressive symptoms can be achieved, allowing individuals to regain a normal life.
Steady treatment
is the most effective solution to bid farewell to depression. The treatment of depression can be categorized into three main types: medication therapy, psychotherapy, and other diverse treatments. Physicians consider the patient's symptoms, the effects of medications, and the patient's medication history to make different choices for medication therapy. With advancements in technology, treatment options are continuously evolving, so patients should actively communicate with their doctors to select the appropriate treatment.
