A first-time experience of depression: a story of struggling and overcoming

I was deeply shocked at work and couldn't handle how I should deal with myself.

The patient visited the psychiatric department due to various somatic symptoms.

I was prescribed medication for depression, took the medication, and also received psychological counseling, and now I have overcome it.

 

Hello?

Psychiatric consultation records are so confidential that they are not tracked separately.

Still, I thought there might be someone who is currently 고민하는 whether they have depression or not.

So, after much 고민, I decided to share my experience with depression.

These days, it's common to openly share such concerns, but still, people like me with this personality find it troubling.

 

I can't go into details, but I was deeply shocked at work.

At that time, my symptoms were so downhearted that I hit rock bottom and felt numb.

Even just sitting still, tears kept falling.

Somehow, I finished work and came home, lying on the bed.

I couldn't get out of bed.

An endless sense of lethargy has overtaken me.

All symptoms of depression applied except for thoughts of death.

 

I have never experienced anything like this in my lifetime.

I thought this wasn't right, so I immediately scheduled an appointment with the psychiatrist.

However, maybe because there are so many people like me, the wait is long, and I finally managed to get an appointment after a week.

After talking about what had happened so far and undergoing several psychological tests, this is the diagnosis I received.

Please diagnose it as a type of depression.

He was prescribed the appropriate medication.

Taking medication definitely reduces psychosomatic symptoms.

It helps to restore your condition to a level where you can carry out daily activities.

Still, since the root cause has not been resolved, I also go to the psychological counseling center.

After going to talk, they said there is depression caused by shock and even a sense of victimization.

So, I worked on changing my thoughts through conversation.

I endured three full months of hardship and have now fully recovered from depression.

Because of the nature of the job, the cause has been eliminated.

 

If I think I might have depression

Do not delay and seek help from the psychiatry department.

These days, you can receive psychological counseling costs covered depending on the region.

Depression is a disease that is difficult to overcome through willpower.

It's also called a "cold of the heart."

I hope you receive help and overcome it.
