Factors contributing to elevated rates of depression
Depression in life is more complex, there are a lot of people are harmed by depression, and therefore will affect the patient's life, we should beware of the emergence of depression, to trigger the emergence of this disease to pay attention to the factors to be able to look down for friends to introduce the causes of depression in the end what will be the cause of the emergence of depression.
The causes of depression:
Physical disease: It is easy for a person to suffer from some physical diseases in life, but physical diseases like stroke, heart attack, cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, hormonal disorders and advanced illnesses may cause depression. Having apathy or not being able to deal with one's physical needs may be a mood response or objective reaction to a physical illness, or it may be a precursor to depression.
Personality factors: this is one of the main causes of depression, such as life in the sensitive, suspicious, unstable mood, strong, pessimistic, low self-confidence, poor thought forms, excessive chagrin or feel simply can not control life things, etc. Personality, are prone to depression, some of the personality. Biochemical factors, because when a person suffers from has been in the week, his brain will often be some of the chemicals known as neurotransmitters show a gradual decrease in the phenomenon. If there is an imbalance between the two neurotransmitters, 5-hydroxytryptophan and norepinephrine, it can lead to depression or anxiety. 5-hydroxytryptophan and norepinephrine decreases often lead to low mood, decreased motivation, and changes in appetite and sex drive.
Biological rhythm changes: we are living in some physiological function indicators such as body temperature, sleep, cortisol and other endocrine have biological circadian rhythm changes is on behalf of a person's affective neurological presentations of disorders, the main manifestation of phase shift, mostly phase forward, that is, the peak of the physiological rhythm of the time earlier, the patient's eyes in depression fast-moving sleep ambient period is shortened (i.e., forward), some people think that can be regarded as the depression of the biological indicators with conclusive significance.
Neuroendocrine dysfunction: many studies have found that patients with depression have abnormal hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis function, and that patients with depression have increased plasma corticosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid levels. Normal people taking dexamethasone, can inhibit the secretion of cortisol, while patients with depression after taking dexamethasone, did not see the phenomenon of inhibition of cortisol should be, that is, used to diagnose depression the so-called "dexamethasone suppression test" (dst), not only to help diagnosis of depression, but also can be identified as affective psychosis depression, or depressive neurosis.
Biochemical metabolism: neurotransmitters in the brain is one of the more researched content, this theoretical hypothesis mainly from the psychopharmacology research. Clinical studies have found that the amount of norepinephrine metabolites in the urine of certain depressed patients is significantly lower than that of the control group, reflecting a decrease in norepinephrine in the patient's brain, and it is interesting to note that this metabolite is discharged higher in the urine when the depression turns into mania, which suggests that mania and depression are related to the amount of norepinephrine in the brain. It has also been found that cerebral, cerebrospinal fluid and urinary levels of norepinephrine and its metabolites are low in both manic and depressed patients.
These are the reasons that can cause the emergence of depression, it can be seen that more causes can trigger the emergence of depression, so it will affect the patient's life, we have to be vigilant about their own mental health, and the need to avoid the onset of this disease factors can be, we also have to go to the depression prevention work.
