Depression is a deadly but treatable disease

 

Such news and letters pass before our eyes on a daily basis, but we also bury these letters with these frustrated mates in the guise of failing an exam, breaking a heart in love and suffering from unemployment. After all, our society is full of complex examination system and corruption and recommendation.

Thus we can never mention the disease which is called "Depression". G. Depression! This is the same disease for which the words "drama and acting" are released on our tongue as soon as we hear the symptoms. "Looking" and even if diagnosed, it is considered "madness".

The resulting personal decline is treated as a sign of "no trauma" and suicide as a sign of "weak nerves" and the rest of the children are encouraged to abstain from movies and dramas.

Depression has different definitions and identities in every home. If it happens to the son, it is considered to scare the parents with emotional blackmail and if it happens to the daughter-in-law, it is considered as "drama taught by the mother". Stigma is an "excuse" for an employee to stay away from work.

Where even today diabetes is treated with honey and hepatitis is treated with pigeons. There is a complex disease like depression that is as difficult to catch and control as it is to explain to the public that like sugar and blood pressure Diabetes is a disease. Just as diabetes causes the human body to stop making insulin, so depression also upsets the balance of many chemicals in the human brain called "neurotransmitters".

Just as there are symptoms of diabetes such as "feeling very thirsty, losing weight, urinating a lot", there are also nine symptoms of depression which are:

1. Not feeling happy in any work. 2. Feeling frustrated. 3. Sleep deprivation or excessive sleep. 4. Loss of appetite. 5. Not meeting eyes while speaking or speaking too fast which shows anxiety. 6. Tired body all the time. To feel

7. Suffering from the illusion about my caste that I am a failed person and because of me my family has to face disgrace. 8. Do not take heart in any work. 9. Think of suicide.

If four of these symptoms are present most days of the week and make a difference in a person's life and daily activities, then you have no vision, no magic, no illusion or any drama, but you have fallen victim to this disease. It is called "depression" and is treatable for which you need a doctor's advice, not a jogi's swelling and an aunt's "I was once a daughter-in-law" advice, but a doctor, a psychologist. Just as sugar is controlled by insulin, depression is controlled by "breeding and medicine."

Most antidepressant medications begin to work after at least six months, so if you don't get an immediate result, remember to call the doctor "Sa Ho Kar" and the medicine "Business" before the effect is late. Just as if diabetes is not controlled, kidney failure can occur and the legs may have to be amputated, and if depression is not treated properly, a person can become so frustrated that he hangs himself on a trap and drinks some acid Can cut the thread of his life by jumping from a roof According to an aid statistic, every year more than three hundred people in Pakistan commit suicide due to depression, but the cruelty is that even a domestic worker in sugar Knows that "Sahib ji had diabetes so his leg was amputated" but in this disease no one in Allah knows that the suicide that took place was a quarrel with his wife, failure in the exam, in tutu with the boss. And not because of a lack of love, but because of depression that can never be diagnosed.

According to a survey, depression is found in 35% of the people in Pakistan, the majority of whom are women and less educated people. Family attitudes, social restrictions, low education, lack of financial resources and the growing extremism around them are the factors that lead to this spontaneous disease and then just need a hit like the last nail in the coffin. Which leads to the death of the patient suffering from depression and this hit can be anything like failure to pass an exam, dismissal from the job and infidelity of the beloved, which is very common and everyday for a normal healthy person. ۔

Especially in women, immediately after the birth of a child, there may be a period of depression called "postpartum depression" in which she starts crying and sometimes becomes irritable and does not take proper care of the child. This is due to a change in the hormones produced in the body immediately after birth, which heals in four to five weeks, but in the meantime, instead of saying "bad temper and drama", it needs treatment and counseling. I often do not see well-educated and high-class families.

One of the reasons why this disease is not considered a disease is that unlike diabetes and TB, no blood test for this disease is an X-ray, but only an expert interview based on the symptoms. According to a survey. Just one out of every ten thousand patients with depression in Pakistan goes to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis, while the remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people either express it for fear of being called a drama and an excuse. If you can't do it or you can do it, then just do it
