Oyasuminasai~~Ogenki desu-ka??

Tonight nak sharing something important & hope dapat memberi ilmu yang berguna kepada kamu2 semua ok :) Now i just straight to the point pada apa yang ingin di kongsi & enjoy membaca :D

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW???
WHAT IS A DEPRESSIVE DISORDER?
All of us feel sad when things go wrong but a depressive disorder is an illness that involves your body, mood and thoughts.
# It is not a temporary low mood
# It is not a sign of weakness
# It is not something you can "snap out of"
# It cannot be wished away
# People with depression cannot merely pull themselves together and get better
If depression is not treated, it can last for months or years. It can cause physical illness and increase the risk of suicide.

SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION
Depressed people may :
# Feel persistently sad or "empty"
# Be anxious and irritable
# Lost interest / "Hilang Semangat"
# Have problems with sleep
# Lose their appetite and weight
# Have poor concentration
# Feel lonely, helpless, worthless
# Have thoughts of death
# Have persistent physical symptoms e.g. headache, gastric problems and chronic pain

WHAT CAUSES DEPRESSION?
Often a combination of factors is involved :
# GENETIC PREDISPOSITION - It can be inherited
# People with low self-esteem
# Stressful environment
# Adverse life events
# Lack of a supporting relationship

TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION
# All depressed people benefit from simple counselling
# A variety of medication can also help. These include the anti-depressants
# The effects of these treatment may not be seen immediately, so the depressed person must be advised not to stop medicine if he does not feel better straight away
# In chronic depression, certain types of psychotherapy may be beneficial
# In severe depression, electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) is effective
SO SEE YOUR DOCTOR EARLY - PROMPT TREATMENT ENSURES FASTER RECOVERY!!

HELPING YOURSELF
If you depressed, you may feel exhausted, helpness and worthless. There are negative thoughts which are part of depression. Negative thoughts disappear after treatment. BUT in the meantime :
* Do not set yourself difficult goals
* Do not take a great deal of responsibility
* Break large tasks into smaller ones and set some priorities
* Do not make major life decisions
* Do not accept your negative thoughts

HELPING THE DEPRESSED
* Take him to a doctor
* Offer comfort and encouragement
* Keep reassuring him
* Offer constructive advice
* Help him set realistic goals
* Don't blame him for being ill
* Don't let him take alcohol
* If he talks of dying, inform his doctor

STEPS TO GOOD MENTAL HEALTH
1- Exercise regularly
2- Take care of your diet
3- Get enough sleep
4- Make time for leisure & learn to relax
5- Be realistic about yourself
6- Spread out the changes in yourself

9- Deal constructively with negative feelings
10- Build a happy family
