Clinical depression is known as a serious disorder that affects a person's mind. It is usually defined as a mental condition that causes feelings of extreme sadness, hopelessness and worthlessness. However, a new study shows that the effects of depression go beyond a person's mind and could negatively affect a person's entire body as well. A research team led by researchers at the University of Granada studied thousands of people with depression, Medical Daily reports. They found out that depression

term instead of a two-week period, and symptoms like suicidal thoughts are only present in major depression. In a two-year period, while depressed, a person must have two or more of the following symptoms: poor appetite or overeating, insomnia or hypersomnia, low energy or fatigue, low self-esteem, poor concertation or difficulty making decisions,

My most redeeming qualities are my passion and drive in my pursuit to further my education; although I have had some hardships, I have proven resilient. I wanted to expand my understanding of pharmacotherapeutics and pathophysiology, and subsequently chose to stay for an additional year at Truman State University. In that time, I decided to pursue an Agricultural Science Minor to become culturally competent in a rural, farming area, of which I would like to practice medicine. As a lifelong student

Within this case study, there is a clear dissonance between a culturally-competent, anthropologically-accurate diagnosis and a psychiatric diagnosis. While the patient is clearly suffering from a form of Depression (most specifically, Major Depressive Disorder), her original diagnosis of neurasthenia speaks to the influence of culture on the presentation and understanding of one’s illness. The patient hails from south-central China, in the Hunan Province, and this background ultimately informs her

Contribution of biological psychology to the study of behaviour, emotion and cognitions in seasonal affective disorder. Known as a subset disorder of depression, seasonal affective disorder can only be identified as the recurrence of major depressive periods, typically during the autumnal months, which supress during the summer months of the year. Light therapy is known as the most effective treatment with minimal adverse effects, and successful administration is most common if conducted during

He has experienced changes in his sleep patterns and displays more hypersomnia. He feels worthless and a failure because he may not achieve the goal set out per his grandmother for his trust-fund and having increasing thoughts of death or suicide.

Question 3 The first thing I did was to ask myself whether Jack has a mental disorder or not. After referring to the four D’s, I determined that his behaviors are deviant, distressful (for himself and for his fiancé), and is partly dysfunctional. His behaviors are deviant because he doesn’t fit into the norm. His thoughts are extraordinary and somewhat irrational. His behaviors are also distressful because he lost his track on his sleeping pattern. He constantly worries about people/spies stealing

I’ve sharpened my act and I’ve become a bit lethargic on my habits, yet she still sees the same potential and determination within me. Now, one thing is to be noted: I have hypersomnia, a sleeping disorder developed from extreme cases of insomnia, which means I pass out at random times throughout a day, no matter the location. I’ve spent a hefty amount of time asleep in this class and I still succeed as one of the finer students

lot of physical effects. How does it physically hurt the body? Usually when thinking about depression, you think of how much the person affected will sleep. This is because a common short-term effect is developing insomnia (lack of sleep) or hypersomnia (too much sleep) (Psychguides). When we sleep, it’s a restorative state that repairs the body. If we don’t get adequate or enough sleep, the body can’t repair. This will, in turn, weaken the immune system. When the body can’t repair, it can lessen
