Depression (D.M.)


The depression can be introduced with different symptoms and with various combinations of them. The cornerstone symptom is the depressed humor, an emotional state I characterize from sadness, pessimism, feelings of loss of the hopes or desperation, sense of demolition and incapability to feel pleasant emotions. Some patients can express the feeling to feel himself/herself/themselves empty or deprived of feelings; it is almost always present is the loss of interest (apathy) or to like (anedonia), these conditions are made evident in the moment in which the patient reports a scarce interest for activity or usual hobbies or incapability to try to like from experiences that before the depressive episode you/they were considered pleasant, the patient, is totally detached in short by what, you/he/she surrounds him/it (family, friends, job). Also the functions cognitive can result compromised (alterations of memory and concentration); the content of the thought is incentrato on themes of personal devaluation, guilt, present and future pessimism, death as possible solution, doesn't marvel therefore him in to find numerous attempts of suicide among the depressed ones. Remarkable you/he/she can be also the astenia, the easy affaticabilità and the deceleration of the motor activity. Finally you/they can be present: insomnia, loss of the appetite with consequent decrease ponder her and decrease of the sexual desire. The episode, not essay has a 6-8 month-old duration, but in some cases a complete, on the contrary partial remission is not had with the permanence of the so-called residual symptoms, these are an important cause of suffering and dysfunction both in working circle, and in the relationships interpersonalis, involve a greater risk of relapses and recidivists, they ask for a greater number of medical consultations and they are correlated with elevated rates of disabilità and cronicizzazione. Despite a satisfactory initial answer to the treatment you/they can persist, they distinguish him, usually, the subjective residual symptoms (the patient for example, says not to be well, despite the recovery of his/her ability to normally act) and the objective ones (the patient betrays anxious attitudes or of other kind also telling himself/herself/itself "to place").

To this intention, you/he/she is making himself/herself/itself road the conviction, sustained by numerous studies, that the residual symptoms, coincide with the initial symptoms, those that is, through which the illness is introduced, you/he/she has made its debut.To confirmation of all of this, other devoted studies have allowed to postulate it looks like entirely a hypothesis bizzarra,ma in the street of clinical acceptance: it is, in fact, the possibility to be confirmed that the residual symptom is not an event caratterizzante the terminal phase of the depressive illness or one trailing of his following the treatment, on the contrary an initial symptom of a new episode, a relapse of the same illness.
