5 Early Symptoms of Depression I Experienced & Treatment Process

Depression is said to be like a cold that affects the mind.

If depression is left untreated, it can deteriorate the mind just like a severe cold.

I will talk about my early symptoms of depression and the treatment I received.

 

The cause of depression has not yet been clearly identified, but

It is known that various factors are at play.

In my case, I experienced depression while dealing with parenting stress.

5 Negative Thoughts

 

Initially, rather than feeling clearly depressed, I experienced more irritability and often got angry at my family.

The second physical change was that I couldn't sleep well at all, and I lost my appetite.

Perhaps because of that, my concentration decreased, and I lost motivation, making the days feel long and I disliked being around people. As I continued to live like that, I suddenly experienced a change in weight. I lost weight rapidly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I ended up visiting the neurology and psychiatry department.

These days, there are many psychiatric clinics around.

So I described my symptoms and had a consultation, and I started medication treatment.

Visited initially, then visited once a week to get prescriptions and sleep well.

They also prescribed sleep aids together.

Then gradually, I started to feel better and experienced an improvement in my quality of life.

 

If you are feeling depressed, do not hesitate to reach out.

I hope you receive treatment for depression.

There is an easy way, but hiding your pain due to social judgment or prejudice can make things even harder.
