Depression - no one's own disease!

The latest statistics on the number of people with depression worldwide are currently about 100 million, while the number of people with moderate and mild depression is certainly much higher.

This situation is more likely to happen to people with relatives (parents, grandparents .) suffering from this dangerous disease.

Genetic factors have long been known to contribute to depression, but so far medicine has not been able to determine exactly which genes are directly or related to causing depression. feel.

2. External causes. These are unexpected or persistent events in life that cause psychological depression, for example, the sad love story, the pressure of work is too heavy, the family is in trouble, even in the case of having to changing the working environment abruptly, getting sick for a long time, getting in conflict with family and friends .

People with psychological sensitivities, few friends, or introverted are often at risk of being stunned by events in life. At that time, there may be two situations: either people become self-deprecating, inferior, or always put themselves in a position . to oppose or attack others. Such behaviors are generally dangerous, because the more you want to protest, the more severe the level of depression and the negative behaviors that may occur.
