In today's article, we shed some light on how to detect depression.

Most of us feel sad, lonely, or depressed at times. It's a normal reaction to loss, life's struggles, or injured self-esteem. But when these feelings become overwhelming, cause physical symptoms, and last for long periods of time, they can keep you from leading a normal, active life.

That's when it's time to seek medical help.

Your regular doctor is a very good place to start.
There isn't a "depression test" a doctor can use to see if you have it, so figuring that out often starts with a thorough history and physical exam.

Your doctor will want to know:

•When your symptoms started
• How long they've lasted
• How severe they are
• If depression or other mental illnesses run in your family
• If you have a history of drug or alcohol abuse
• You'll also be asked if you've had similar symptoms of depression before, and if so, how it was treated.

If depression goes untreated, it may get worse and last for months, even years. It can cause pain and possibly lead to su***de.

Recognising the symptoms is key.
Unfortunately, most of the people in Africa who have depression never get it diagnosed or treated.

SYMPTOMS

They can include:

• Trouble concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
• Fatigue
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness
• Pessimism and hopelessness
• Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or sleeping too much
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Loss of interest in things once pleasurable, including s*x
• Overeating, or loss appetite
• Aches, pains, headaches, or cramps that won't go away
• Digestive problems that don't get better, even with treatment
• Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
• Suicidal thoughts or attempts

In the next article, we shall talk about how to encourage someone to see a therapist.

Things People Get Wrong About Anxiety and Depression

** You can smile and have depression**

"You have depression? ...But you seem so happy!"

Yes, it's a combination of faking it and the fact that people can be happy and depressed at the same time.

Some vital points to note.

*Movies and TV don't always get the symptoms of depression and anxiety right.
*People with mental illness are still people and need to be treated with the utmost care/support, respect and dignity.
*We're all different.
*Try not to approach the subject with too many assumptions.

Are you feeling anxious, and it feels like your brain is racing at 180km/h?
Here is a simple mental trick that can help center your brain, bringing you back to the present moment:

The 3-3-3 rule.

Look around you and name three things you see. Then, name three sounds you hear.
Finally, move three parts of your body— your ankle, your fingers, or your arm.

Do not forget to take deep breaths, EVENLY inhaling and exhaling. This will help you calm down and recenter your mind.
