Depression is the commonest illness of all: 40% of the population
will experience this condition at some time in their lives. It may
be mild or severe. It can be a brief phase in someone’s life, or can
lead to prolonged personal unhappiness, sometimes even to selfharm
or long-term disability. It is often associated with anxiety
symptoms.
It occurs with many other physical illnesses, yet may
sometimes pass unrecognised by doctors, families and even by
people themselves. It can be difficult to recognise particularly
when it occurs in childhood, postnatally or in later life.
Families of people with depression may have many concerns
and questions about the condition which medical staff may find
difficult to answer because of problems of time and issues of
confidentiality.
Depression can present in many ways: it can mimic other
medical conditions; it can appear associated with fatigue, stress,
headaches, poor work or academic performance, marital
difficulties, alcohol or drug problems, or for no obvious reason at
all. Causes may be deep-seated – or sometimes surprisingly
straightforward. It may present quite differently in those from
other cultures. |
