👩‍⚕️Common Causes of Depression You Should Know

Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Understanding its causes can help in early intervention and better management. Below are some of the most common causes:

✅ Low Self-Esteem:
Persistent negative thoughts and feelings of worthlessness can contribute to depression. Individuals with low self-esteem often feel inadequate, which affects their mental well-being.

✅ Excessive Stress:
Prolonged stress due to work, relationships, or financial problems can overwhelm the brain, leading to emotional exhaustion and depression.

✅ Abuse:
Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can leave lasting emotional scars, making individuals more vulnerable to depression.

✅ Genetic & Biological Factors:
A family history of depression increases the likelihood of developing the condition. Biological changes in brain chemistry also play a significant role.

✅ Poor Nutrition:
A lack of essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, can affect brain function and contribute to mood disorders.

✅ Alcohol or Drug Abuse:
Substance abuse often alters brain chemistry, leading to mood imbalances and worsening symptoms of depression.

✅ Relationship Problems:
Difficulties in personal relationships, including conflicts, breakups, or isolation, can trigger emotional distress and lead to depression.

If you or a loved one is experiencing signs of depression, consult Dr. Zaini Ahmed, MBBS, MD (Psychiatry) for professional guidance and support.

Understanding the Root Causes of Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative disorders are mental health conditions that involve a disruption in a person’s memory, identity, consciousness, or perception. These disorders often develop as a response to trauma or extreme stress, where the mind tries to protect itself by detaching from reality. Several factors can contribute to the onset of these disorders:

✅ Childhood Abuse:
Prolonged physical, emotional, or sexual abuse during childhood can cause the mind to dissociate as a defense mechanism to escape the trauma.

✅ Trauma Caused by Natural Disasters:
Experiencing life-threatening situations like earthquakes, floods, or other natural disasters can lead to dissociation, making individuals feel detached from reality.

✅ Trauma Caused by Accidents:
Severe accidents that involve physical harm or witnessing a traumatic event can trigger dissociative symptoms as a way to cope with the distress.

✅ Intense Emotions of Shame or Embarrassment:
Overwhelming feelings of humiliation or deep emotional pain can cause the mind to distance itself from the painful experience, leading to dissociation.

✅ Violence or War:
Exposure to extreme violence, conflict, or war can leave lasting psychological scars, prompting dissociation as a coping mechanism.

✅ Drug or Alcohol Use:
Substance abuse can alter brain chemistry, making individuals more susceptible to dissociative episodes or worsening existing dissociative symptoms.

👩‍⚕️पैनिक अटैक से कैसे निपटें

पैनिक अटैक का अनुभव करना डरावना हो सकता है, लेकिन सही तरीकों से इसे संभालना संभव है। यहां कुछ सहायक उपाय दिए गए हैं:

✅ अपनी सांसों पर ध्यान दें
धीरे-धीरे गहरी सांस लें। नाक से 4 सेकंड तक सांस लें, 4 सेकंड तक रोकें, और फिर मुंह से 4 सेकंड तक छोड़ें। इससे नसों को शांत करने में मदद मिलती है।

✅ सकारात्मक बातें दोहराएं
खुद को याद दिलाएं कि पैनिक अटैक अस्थायी है। “मैं सुरक्षित हूं” या “यह जल्द ही ठीक हो जाएगा” जैसे वाक्य दोहराने से घबराहट कम होती है।

✅ मांसपेशियों को आराम दें
प्रगतिशील मांसपेशी विश्राम तकनीक अपनाएं। मांसपेशियों को कसें और फिर धीरे-धीरे छोड़ें। इससे तनाव कम होता है और मन को शांति मिलती है।

✅ कैफीन और शुगर का सेवन कम करें
अधिक कैफीन और शुगर से घबराहट और दिल की धड़कन तेज हो सकती है। इन्हें सीमित करें ताकि पैनिक अटैक को ट्रिगर होने से रोका जा सके।

✅ अपनों से बात करें
परिवार या दोस्तों से बात करें। किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति से बात करना जो आपकी स्थिति को समझता हो, आपको सुकून दे सकता है।

✅ आंखें बंद करें
यदि आसपास का माहौल तनाव बढ़ा रहा हो, तो आंखें बंद कर लें। इससे बाहरी उत्तेजनाओं से बचकर आप खुद को शांत कर सकते हैं।

✅ हल्की एक्सरसाइज करें
हल्की-फुल्की एक्सरसाइज, जैसे स्ट्रेचिंग या टहलना, करने से एंडोर्फिन रिलीज होते हैं और तनाव कम होता है।

✅ ध्यान भटकाने की तकनीक अपनाएं
अपने मन को किसी और चीज़ में लगाएं, जैसे उल्टी गिनती करें, हल्का संगीत सुनें या किसी वस्तु पर ध्यान केंद्रित करें। इससे ध्यान पैनिक अटैक से हट जाता है।

Causes of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It can affect individuals of any age, leading to intense emotional distress, anxiety, and flashbacks. Below are some of the most common causes of PTSD:

🔹 Serious Accidents or Injuries
Surviving life-threatening accidents, such as car crashes, industrial mishaps, or severe injuries, can lead to PTSD. Individuals may relive the event repeatedly, causing emotional distress and hypervigilance.

🔹 Sudden Loss of a Loved One
The unexpected death of a close family member or friend can cause severe emotional shock. Grief mixed with trauma can lead to long-lasting feelings of emptiness, anxiety, and detachment, contributing to PTSD.

🔹 Sexual or Physical Assault
Victims of sexual violence, physical abuse, or domestic violence often experience deep psychological trauma. This can result in persistent feelings of fear, shame, and helplessness, making it difficult to trust others.

🔹 Witnessing Trauma
Observing a violent act, serious accident, or natural disaster can trigger PTSD. Witnessing such events can instill feelings of powerlessness and fear, causing lasting emotional harm.

🔹 Childbirth
Experiencing a traumatic childbirth, such as life-threatening complications for the mother or baby, can lead to PTSD. Mothers may experience intense fear, flashbacks, and anxiety related to the birth experience.

🔹 War and Combat
Military personnel who have been exposed to combat situations often face PTSD due to witnessing violence, losing comrades, and experiencing life-threatening situations. These memories can haunt individuals long after they have returned to civilian life.

If you or someone you know is struggling with symptoms of PTSD, seeking professional help is essential.

👩‍⚕️Understanding the Common Types of Depression

Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Recognizing the different types of depression is essential for understanding symptoms and seeking appropriate treatment. Here’s a look at the most common types:

1. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
MDD, often referred to as clinical depression, is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in daily activities. Individuals may experience fatigue, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Episodes can last for weeks or even months, significantly affecting daily life.

2. Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)
PDD, also known as dysthymia, is a chronic form of depression that lasts for at least two years. Although the symptoms may not be as severe as MDD, they persist for a longer period, leading to feelings of sadness, low self-esteem, and lack of motivation. People with PDD often experience periods of major depression along with less severe depressive symptoms.

3. Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression)
Bipolar disorder involves extreme mood swings that include periods of intense highs (mania or hypomania) and severe lows (depression). During depressive episodes, individuals experience symptoms similar to MDD, while manic episodes may involve elevated mood, increased energy, and impulsive behavior.

4. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
SAD is a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of the year, typically during the fall and winter months when sunlight exposure is reduced. Symptoms often include low energy, increased sleep, weight gain, and feelings of sadness. SAD usually improves with the arrival of spring and increased sunlight.

5. Postpartum Depression (PPD)
PPD affects women after childbirth and is more intense than the "baby blues." It involves feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that interfere with the mother’s ability to care for herself and her baby. Without proper intervention, PPD can have long-lasting effects on both mother and child.

6. Psychotic Depression
Psychotic depression is a severe form of MDD accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia. Individuals may experience disturbing thoughts that are often negative and critical, which can exacerbate their depressive state. Prompt medical intervention is crucial in managing this condition.

7. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that significantly affects mood and behavior. Symptoms include extreme mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression in the week leading up to menstruation. These symptoms often interfere with daily functioning and relationships.

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these forms of depression, consult Dr. Zaini Ahmed, MBBS, MD (Psychiatry) at Sukoon Heart and Mind Care, Sainik Market, Main Road, Ranchi, Jharkhand: 834001.

👩‍⚕️अनिद्रा से छुटकारा पाने के 6 प्रभावी तरीके

क्या आप रातों की नींद हराम होने की समस्या से जूझ रहे हैं? अपनी नींद की आदतों में सुधार करने से मदद मिल सकती है। अनिद्रा से निपटने के लिए यहां छह व्यावहारिक सुझाव दिए गए हैं:

✅ नियमित नींद का समय निर्धारित करें – हर दिन एक ही समय पर सोएं और जागें, यहां तक कि सप्ताहांत में भी। इससे आपकी बॉडी क्लॉक सही बनी रहती है।

📵 सोने से पहले स्क्रीन से दूरी बनाएं – सोने से 30-60 मिनट पहले मोबाइल, टीवी और लैपटॉप का इस्तेमाल न करें। इनकी ब्लू लाइट मेलाटोनिन हार्मोन को प्रभावित कर नींद में बाधा डालती है।

☕ दोपहर के बाद उत्तेजक पदार्थों से बचें – कैफीन, निकोटीन और शराब का सेवन शाम के समय करने से बचें, क्योंकि ये नींद को प्रभावित कर सकते हैं।

🏃 नियमित व्यायाम करें – दिन में हल्का-फुल्का व्यायाम करने से जल्दी और गहरी नींद आती है। लेकिन सोने से ठीक पहले कड़ी एक्सरसाइज से बचें।

😴 दिन में झपकी लेने से बचें – दिन में ज्यादा देर तक झपकी लेने से रात की नींद प्रभावित हो सकती है। यदि आवश्यक हो, तो झपकी 20-30 मिनट तक ही लें।

🍽️ सोने से पहले भारी भोजन से बचें – सोने के तुरंत पहले भारी और मसालेदार भोजन करने से पेट में असहजता हो सकती है, जिससे नींद में खलल पड़ता है।

अनिद्रा और अन्य मानसिक स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं के प्रबंधन पर विशेषज्ञ सलाह के लिए, Dr. Zaini Ahmed, MBBS, MD (Psychiatry) से सुकून हार्ट एंड माइंड केयर, सैनिक मार्केट, मेन रोड, रांची, झारखंड: 834001 पर परामर्श लें।
