Understanding Depression

By Billy Edward


Everyone can agree with the fact that depression is certainly a debilitating illness. What we can't all seem to agree on however, is what this disease does to a person's capability to think reason and perceive. The problem in coming to an agreement here lies in the many causes and physical reactions to depression.

Typical cause of depression include biochemical factors, severs stress, a feeling of hopelessness, insufficient sunlight and illogical thinking. The biochemical elements and sunlight are physical and environmental conditions that can be corrected with prescribed drugs or light exposure. What however can a person do about stress and feelings of hopelessness, and are these circumstances causes of depression or symptoms of depression. It is within the limits of the medical profession that conversations like this have raged for many years.

Several researchers believe that stress and feelings of overwhelming hopelessness causes depression, while others think they are symptoms of depression. Research performed supports both conclusions. Additional studies have supported lent even more support to the evidence that stress, changes in expectancies, and irrational or hopeless thoughts are a consequence of depression, not a cause.

But what effect does depression have on our ability to think and reason? Do all our thoughts become illogical and negative? Not every depressed persons experience the same modifications in their thoughts, however do all depressed persons experience some change in the thought process? Questions like these are fiercely debated even now, with all the great deal of info available to scientists and doctors. The brain is such an intricate machine, that understanding of the processes and the ability to relate certain processes to the application of the masses is slow to come.

In general the depressed person sees the cup as half empty, not half full. That's not to say that a few of the population, without any evidence of depression will still see the cup as half empty. Can you see the difficulty of the situation here? There are lots of symptoms of depression which exist even within the minds of people with no evidence of depression. How do scientists and doctors distinguish, for the purpose of setting clear guidelines? I do not believe they can.

I believe our thought procedure is like a fingerprint. Everyone's is different in some way. No two people will be the same in their thoughts, or in their ability to act on those thoughts. Treatments for illogical and depressed thoughts will always be a tailor-made situation.
