How to distinguish depression from the Blues

Autumn is a time not only when the leaves are falling, but also the mood. Along with the avatars of the lyrical women to the yellow leafy carpet, appear comments in social networks and in talking about the Sino-depression. Sometimes the spleen. Try to understand what's going on.





"I should have been born a bear. After all, bears, unlike people, have a right to sleep". These words, printed on 24 October 1991 in the Washington Post, a patient of Dr. Norman Rosenthal made nauchni the world to recognize that Korda the days get shorter, many of us feel worse.

Traditionally in autumn, we are sad, and sadness is not always bright. The offseason has immunity, it gets dark early, the clouds the sunlight is sorely lacking, especially considering that until recently, it was too much. It is not surprising that instead of playful and languid summer mood comes depression, fatigue, sadness. Some call it depression, others with melancholy, although this is two completely different concepts.

Depression – a concept broader and comes from the "big" psychiatry. The public took a scientific term into circulation and covered them, experiencing depression. But "mental fatigue" in the form of depression and melancholy are two different States.

What is the difference.

Depression is a lingering reluctance to "love life." The spleen is a transient sad mood. In the Blues we can drive the fight with the boss, loved one, failure on the road, domestic troubles, talking to parents and what a terrible fellow student in the USA gives birth to a third child. The cause of depression becomes a series of failures, but the reason may not be. The person is immersed in deep suffering and self-flagellation.

The way to distinguish.

If the person remaining in a permanent sad mood, can laugh over unexpectedly witty joke – it's the Blues. In a depression on the joke even comes to man, as the perception of depressive slows significantly as physical activity.

In a state of depression the person feels constantly tired and even physically hurt him to move. Observed sleep disturbance, reduced libido, at the level of psychosomatics depressed people suffer from pain in the chest.

Important point: the idea of suicide. In the spleen such thoughts out of the game, and depression obsessive reluctance "as" to live constantly accompanies.

The best way to fight the Blues is to add light (solar or electric), colors and movements. A simple little jog in the morning or reading light a nice log table lamp will add a spark of joy and tone the body. "Walk" with friends or new clothes. Add colors to the wardrobe and diet (fruits and vegetables bright colors).

Depression is a reason to go to a psychologist. Antidepressants, alcohol and even obsessive communication can only exacerbate the problem.
