Let’s Understand about Stress

It’s a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances.  Stress, in everyday terms, is a feeling that people have when they are overloaded and struggling to cope with demands.These demands can be related to finances, work, relationships, and other situations, but anything that poses a real or perceived challenge or threat to a person’s well-being can cause stress.

There are different types of stress: Acute, Episodic and Chronic.

Causes of stress:

Some typical causes of acute chronic stress include:

• living through a natural or man-made disaster

• working in a dangerous profession
• having little work-life balance, working long hours, or having a job you hate

DEPRESSION : Persistent Sadness & Loss of Interest in Life

Depression is more than just feeling sad. Everyone feels upset or unmotivated from time to time, but depression is more serious. It is a mood disorder characterized by prolonged feelings of sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. If these symptoms persist for a period of at least two weeks, it is considered a depressive episode.

Depression that word we throw around so easily now a day. But as anyone with depression knows, it’s much more than any one word can describe. Depression can be normal, and is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, all-consuming, and interfere with daily living. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, or someone you love is in danger, we strongly suggest that you reach out to a qualified mental health professional. There is no shame in taking medication to manage your depression. People routinely take medication for physical ailments, and having a mental illness isn’t any different. If you’re worried about the possible side effects, call your doctor to discuss them. Any medication can be tapered down or ceased, and there are different types available to suit your individual needs and chemistry.

Therapy from a Licensed Clinical Psychologist or Certified Psychotherapist can work wonders, to manage or overcome depressive symptoms.
