Depression is paradox, simple and complex at the same time. While treatment has become rather straightforward available treatments don't help everyone. Mood disorders are among the most prevalent forms of mental illness. Serious depression is growing common. An article in the Psychiatric Times (May 2007) states depression affects at least 13.1 to 14.2 million Americans. A quarter of those patients have chronic symptoms of varying severity making their depression more difficult to treat and more life affecting.
Symptoms of depression are; low mood, inability to experience pleasure, changes in appetite or weight, changes in sleep pattern, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, problems such as poor concentration, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. Studies have suggested that the recovery rate for individual suffering from depression over five years was only fifty three percent. In some studies half the patients who did 'recover' experienced a relapse within 2 years. Researchers for the STAR*D project found that more than eleven percent of patients monitored for 5 years never recovered from their depression despite receiving psychiatric care.
Does this indicate that for many people depression is untreatable? Duration of depression has been linked to age of onset.
Studies of patients with early-onset had the illness longer, experienced more episodes, greater levels of suicidal thoughts, more severe symptoms, and greater negative life consequences such as lower educational attainment and lower rates of marriage.
We are all well aware of the health risks related to depression. We know that feeling 'bad' day in and day out, feeling depressed and stressed is directly linked to the development of illness and disease. The body and mind are intertwined with one another through millions of on-going chemical processes. We know-- it has been proven scientifically-- that when you relieve mental stress your body heals. We also know that getting free of depression has the same effect as releasing emotional or mental stress.
The process of getting free of negativity usually happens in layers, the reverse of how negativity piled up in our minds and hearts over time. During each attempt we strive to let go of as much locked up negative emotion as possible.
