            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is Depression ?</strong></p><p>Depression is the leading cause of diability in the world . All over the world people are struglling with depression But beacause it,s a mental illness It can be a alot harder to understand than ,say ,high cholestrol.One major source of confusion is the differnce between having depression and just feeling depressed .Almost everyone feels down from time to time Getting a bad grade ,losing a job ,having an argument even a rainy day can bring on feeling of sadness .Sometimes there,s no trigger at all It just pops up out of the blue Then circumstances change and those sad feelings disappear .</p><p><strong>Clinical Depression</strong></p><p>Clinical depression is different It,s a medical disorder and It won,t go away just because you want it to .It lingers for at least two consecutive weeks</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*rImUPjjEESqLql2o" /><figcaption>Photo by Dollar Gill on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>And significantly interfere with one,s ability to work ,play or love</p><p>Depression can have a lot of Differnt symptoms a low mood ,lost of interest in things you,d normally enjoy ,changes in apetite ,feeling worthless or excessively guilty ,Sleeping either too much or too little ,poor concentration ,restlessness or slowness ,loss of energy or recurrnt thoughts of suicide .If u have atleast five of those symptoms according to psychiatric guidlines you qualify for a diagnosis of Depression and it,s not just behavioral symptoms .Depression has physical manifestations inside the brain .First of all there are changes that could be seen with naked eye and X ray vision .These include smaller frontal lobes and hippocampal volumes .On a more microscale depression is associated with a few things the abnormal transmission or depletion of certain neurotransmitters especially serotonin and dopamine ,specific changes in the REM and slow wave parts of your sleep cycle and hormonal abnormalities such as high cortisol and deregulation of thyroid hormones</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*9HpGPa_yaBlidi01" /><figcaption>Photo by Trần Toàn on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>But neuroscientist still don,t have a complete picture of what causes depression it seems to have to do with a complex interaction between genes and environment but we don,t have a diagnostic tool that can accurately predict where or when it will show up .And because depression symptoms are intamgible it,s hard to know who might look fine but is actually struglling .According to the National institute of Mental Health it takes the average person suffering with a mental illness over ten years to ask for help .But there are very effective treatments</p><p><strong>Treatments</strong></p><p>Medication and therapy complement each other to boost brain chemicals .In extreme cases electroconvulsive therapy which is like a controlled seizure in patient,s brain is also very helpful .Other promising treatments like transcranial megnetic stimulation are being investigated too .So if u know someone struggling with depression encourage them gently to seek out some of these options</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*BTPMn0f17yyuDIRp" /><figcaption>Photo by Alexander Grey on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=a891e38f5150" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
