Depression Lesson
In Church yesterday during the third hour a speaker who is a psychiatrist spoke to us about Depression, not just Depression but the different types of depression, their cause, their duration and ways to solve them.
I think this lesson is helpful for everyone, because there are millions who are affected by depression, and it is helpful to understand depression more, for those affected with it and those who know people affected by it.
The 10 types of Depression
1) Being bummed
2) Mood Swings
3) Situational Depression
4) Combo Depression
5) Dysthymia
6) Cyclothymia
7) Clinical Depression
8) Minor depressive disorder
9) Major depressive disorder
10) Bipolar Depressive Disorder
Cause(s)
1) not meeting expectations, someone said something rude, getting hurt.
2) Bad day, stressed, small fight with a friend or family member.
3) Big fight with someone, a breakup, death.
4) When situational depression starts to changes your brain chemicals into clinical depression.
5) Mild chemical unbalance and loss of enjoyment
6) Cyclothymia consists of short periods of mild depression alternating with short periods of inflated moods
7) Chemical Unbalance in the Brain that can be triggered by a trauma or event
8) "same"
9) "same"
10) chemical unbalance that can be triggered by event.
Duration
1) Hours
2) Hours to a Day
3) weeks to 4 months
4) 4 months or longer
5) years (2 years+)
6) years (2 years+)
7) life long
8) life long
9) life long
10) life long
Solutions
1) figure out why you are bummed
2) control your thoughts
3) Find out the root of the problem, talk about it with friends and family or a therapist
4) same as above but use of medicine could be helpful
5) medicine is suggested
6) medicine is suggested
7) medicine will help
8) medicine will help
9) medicine will definitely help
10) you probably need and want medicine
No one should view depression in a negative light. We all experience it throughout our lives! And taking medicine is not something to be ashamed of.
Think of it like this, if you have cancer you would do chemotherapy, if you have diabetes you will have insulin, if you break your leg you will take pain medicine. And just like Depression medicine is there to help.
Here is the Talk that inspired this talk at church Like a Broken Vessel by Elder Holland.
When I had depression I had combo depression because I was overloaded with a bunch of stressful, awful situations that sent me into a depression. For me to get out of that depression I had to leave the situation, and get away. So I was sent away, and my depression went away pretty quickly after therapy, and with the atonement of Christ.
