Depression my mother s Story   "Ring, ring." The crisis operator answers the phone to a woman to the memory of her daughter knows that she loves her. The woman spent her days writing letters to friends and loved ones, who express their thoughts and emotions. From the loaded gun on the table to the rope hanging from the attic, it was a well plan (Lewis, Pamela, 2003). Have you ever life is not worth living? Have you wished you were dead? Have you thought that your life? It 'started in October 1998, while my husband and I were on our way home from the shop. The phone rings. My husband answers. He tells the caller that we are on our way. His voice seemed frightened and worried. I have repeatedly asked: "What is happening? Why are you driving so fast? "" Something happened to your mother, "he exclaimed. I had fifteen minutes to myself for the worst, but I did not know exactly what I use for preparation. As we came to the scene, several police cars, two ambulances, the local rescue squad, private detectives, negotiators and the SWAT team had half of a mile from my house locked. As we came to a stop, I jumped out of the car screaming and crying while looking for answers, what has happened. A policeman pulled me aside. The young man explained that my mother attempted suicide because of depression. Since the number is a public health problem, four hours-8 hours per cent of the U.S. population experience depressed or have a clinical syndrome (Klerman, Gerald, pg. 27). Depression is a mental illness, immediate medical attention. Since depression is so widespread, is often cited as the "cold" (Koop, Everett, 1996). The difference between a cold and depression is that depression, if untreated, can cause the death of a person. Depression occurs when nerve cells or neurons, to communicate with each other by a chemical imbalance in the brain (Koop, Everett, 1996). A neuron is a specialized cell that messages through the nervous system. Two nerve cells communicate by electrical impulses or signals. The point of communication, in which the electrical signals of a communication between two neurons called synapses. The separation of neurons sending and receiving neurons from the axon terminal are tiny, fluid-filled gap called the synaptic columns. Dock chemicals called neurotransmitters to receptors, and then switch the electrical signal of neurons. After the signal is output, the neurotransmitters float to the neuron that sent. This process is called reputake. Researchers have many causes and reasons for depression. In general, depression is a lack of neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenaline (Morgan, Marie, pg. 75). Serotonin helps regulate mood, sleep disturbance, aggression, and appetite. Noradrenaline affects vigilance, attention, and even the appetite. In some cases hereditary, personality, stress and lack of supportive relationships are associated with depression. Other causes of depression are helplessness, the feeling of loss, isolation, anger and unresolved (Koop, Everett, 1996). Through your eyes, you see the world as a series of positive, neutral or negative events. These events are interrupted by a group of continuous flow of thoughts through your head. This is the inteal dialogue. Created by your thoughts, your feelings or mood. Before an emotional reaction may be known, what you hear or what is happening to you (Bus, David, pg. 30). Therefore, the negative thoughts that your mind is actually the cause for your feelings. Your negative thoughts or insights, the most overlooked symptoms of depression. The symptoms are the feelings or behaviors that interfere with normal operation (Heitler, Susan, pg.47). A person can become depressed symptoms, such as a loss of pleasure and interest in usual activities, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, diminished ability to think or be, and a loss of energy and appetite (Koop , Everett, 1996). The evaluation of the symptoms are difficult to specify behaviors and feelings, history of symptoms and diagnosis of the problem (Heitler, Susan, pg. 49). Other symptoms include crying, negative thoughts about the future and even thoughts of death or suicide (Koop, Everett, 1996). Suicide is the deliberate taking of one's life, no more than 5 percent of clinically depressed patients (Bus, David, pg. 383). Suicide rates among children and adolescents since the 1990s (Bus, David, pp. 9). Because depressed people often think of suicide? Convincing and pessimistic visions dominate their thoughts. For them, life seems to be a nightmare. When a depressed person thinks of the past, you remember only the moments of suffering and pain (Bus, David, pg. 384). Researchers have shown that the feeling of despair is not realistic to one of the most important factors for the plans for a serious suicidal thoughts, or thoughts (Bus, David, pg. 385). A popular myth today: an unsuccessful attempt at suicide is just a tool to focus and not be taken seriously (Bus, David, pg. 387). The fact is that all attempts are taken very seriously. Because of a depressed person the pain and suffering is unbearable and can never be too late, it can be concluded that suicide is the only way out. In reality, medical care and attention, the individual to overcome depression. Many researchers have therapy as an opportunity for people to deal with their conflicts of daily life (Heitler, Susan, p. 7.). Consultation with a professional like a psychologist or psychiatrist, may be a good start for treatment. With a doctorate in psychology and other fields, a psychologist serving the public through research, testing, and psychotherapy (Hauck, Paul, pp. 134). Psychotherapy is an important means for the treatment of certain types of emotional or psychological disorders. In general, work with the patient alone, a psychologist may be feelings and emotions of life of struggle. At the end of each session, the psychologist gives simple, step-by-step advice for patients. A psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in advising clients with psychiatric, neurological and medical conditions (Inteational Publishers, LTD, pg. 18). During a period of one to six visits, your doctor will discuss with patients and followed up regularly (Inteational Publishers, LTD, pg. 187). A psychiatrist also provides and manages medications, antidepressants in general, with the referral of a psychologist (Hauck, Paul, pg.135). Antidepressants are medicines used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. The most commonly prescribed drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, to improve the efficiency of brain neurotransmitters in the synapse. Some representatives of the tricyclic drug imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, protriptyline and doxepin (Bus, David, pp. 430-432). Side effects such as dry mouth, constipation and blurred vision, disappears after the first few days (Bus, David, pg. 432). MAO inhibitors increase the amount of amine neurotransmitters in order to correct a chemical imbalance in the brain. The most common brands of MAO-inhibitors are Marplan, Nardil and Paate. Similar to tricyclic drugs, the side effects of MAO-inhibitors are dry mouth, lightheadedness, difficulty in urinating, a rash, and constipation or loose stools (Bus, David, pg. 440). MAO-inhibitors, if not correctly can have serious consequences. Blood pressure may vary from specific foods or drugs that a substance called tyramine, which the brain's ability to regulate blood pressure, with an MAO inhibitor (Bus, David, pg. 441). Lithium carbonate is another antidepressant medication for the treatment of severe depression. Although the lithium salt is simple, has many side effects, like tremors, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, cone, usually within a week or a little later (Morgan, Marie, pg. 78). Long-term effects of lithium include blackouts, headaches, slurred voice, weight changes, fatigue, hypotension, and (Morgan, Marie, pg. 70). Valium is an antidepressant that fear and be suppressed until the symptoms rather than addressing the root causes (Morgan, Marie, pg. 78). Although depression and addiction worse, some doctors use minor tranquilizers or sedatives to treat anxiety and nervousness (Bus, David, pg. 444). Sleeping pills are used to help treat insomnia. These pills are highly specialized, as interfere with normal sleep and significantly worsen the problem of sleep. For example, my mother received the drug, Ambien, because he had problems to himself and fell asleep. Often awoke only to take another pill, because they are not yet able to sleep well. Ambien gave short-term amnesia and sleep, rather than help you sleep. It was concluded in the emergency room of an accidental overdose (Lewis, Pamela, 2003). I almost lost it again to a drug that was to help her. There are at least a dozen different antidepressants, which are effective in some patients, while for others, the results are disappointing or harmful. Of depression may recur at any time, a person who has prescribed the drug, because only "think" is best. In some cases, a depressed person may need an increase or a change in medications after an evaluation by a doctor or therapist. In the near future, researchers hope that understanding of antidepressants and how they affect the human brain. Sometimes it seems the more desperate and severe depression, and the extraordinary taste of happiness and self-esteem is. As you start to feel better, our thoughts tu immediately pessimistic as the melting of the winter and spring, when the snow comes. You can also ask why you would think these thoughts, in the first place. Since the transition from negative to positive or neutral thoughts can be so dramatic, a person must be convinced that the depression is gone forever. But this is not true, because it is a sickness, the mood remains. A person who feels depressed to understand better the causes of depression and can be applied and re-engineering themselves when necessary. Acquisition of self-confidence and self-esteem is a must to get better. Focusing on the good memories and positive thinking to reduce the recurrence of depression. Lowering their standards to avoid disappointment and leaing from the mistakes also help a person overcome depression. My mother used to beat the battle of depression after six months in Zell, the old local mental institution, and years to lea to cope with the emotional stress of life. If you try again in their original style of living was the most difficult obstacle for the better. Their attempt at suicide was on the front page of the Official Star Peoria. Not only have the wrong information about the depressing, but also his label and tried to press against attempts to take his own life. Retu to work has been stereotyped as "crazy" or "crazy" instead of a strong and hope for the fight against the terrible conditions. It has been five years since its creation, and she now lives a wonderful and happy life. She explains: "I'm proud to be here today" (Lewis, Pamela, 2003). If you know someone who shows any signs of depression or thoughts of death, to help them. Be their friend and give them positive reinforcement. Now they have loved and needed in your life and many others. Most important, they help, because not everyone knows who are depressed depressed, so that may not be able to help themselves.
