It&#039;s a natural reaction to loss, life&#039;s challenges and low self-esteem. But sometimes the feeling of sadness becomes intense, lasts for long periods and removes the person from normal life. Depression is the most common mental disorder, but it is a treatable illness. The types of depression are: classic, fearlessness, bipolar and seasonal disorder.<\/h3>\n<h3>It&#039;s normal to feel sad and depressed from time to time.

There are some viruses, medications and diseases that can cause symptoms similar to depression. The doctor will want to know when the symptoms started, how long they have lasted and how severe they are. You will also want to know if you have felt anything similar before and what the treatment was. Family history is also important, as is drug and alcohol use.<\/h3>\n<h3>Although there is no test to diagnose depression, there are some characteristics that can lead to the appropriate diagnosis. If a physical illness is ruled out, your doctor should consider referring you to a psychologist or psychiatrist. They will determine which treatment is best for your case: psychotherapy or medication or a combination of both.<\/h3>\n<h3>\u00a0How do I know when I need help?<\/h3>\n<h3>When depression is negatively affecting your life, such as causing difficulties in relationships, work issues, or family disputes<\/h3>\n<h3>If someone you know is having suicidal thoughts<\/h3>\n<h3>Psychiatrist<\/h3>\n<h3>Doctor specializing in treating psychological disorders. Because psychiatrists are doctors, they can prescribe medications, such as antidepressants. Some are also psychotherapists.<\/h3>\n<h3>Psychologist<\/h3>\n<h3>Professional who specializes in treating mental or emotional disorders. In general, he uses psychotherapy to treat people with depression.<\/h3>\n<h3>What are the symptoms?<\/h3>\n<h3>Symptoms may vary. Many times, childhood depression is not diagnosed because it is due to something common to the emotional and psychological variations of the growth phase. The first symptoms of depression are: sadness, lack of hope and changes in mood. Other features are:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Irritability or anger<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Constant sadness<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Introversion<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Feeling of rejection<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Change in appetite<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Change in sleep<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Outbursts of screaming or crying<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Difficulty concentrating<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Fatigue<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Complaints of physical pain that does not go away with treatment, such as stomach pain or headache<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Reduced activity with friends, at home, at school<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Guilt<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Thoughts of death or suicide<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O que \u00e9 depress\u00e3o &nbsp; Todo mundo uma vez ou outra na vida se sente deprimido ou triste. \u00c9 uma rea\u00e7\u00e3o natural \u00e0 perda, aos desafios da vida e \u00e0 baixa autoestima.
