DEPRESSION : ଡିପ୍ରେସନ ରୋଗ ର ଚିକିତ୍ସା !

Описание: Depression is a common illness worldwide, with more than 264 million people affected. Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when long-lasting and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. - WHO

Depression results from a complex interaction of social, psychological and biological factors. People who have gone through adverse life events (unemployment, bereavement, psychological trauma) are more likely to develop depression. Depression can, in turn, lead to more stress and dysfunction and worsen the affected person’s life situation and depression itself. - WHO

1. Depressed mood
2. Reduced interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
3. Loss of sexual desire
