Mera naam Dr. B. S Arora hai. Main ek monochikitsak hu. Aksar humare pass log aate hai aur kehte hai, “Dr. sahab, main depression mein hu aur depression ke kya lakshan hai?”

 Mitron, main aaj aapko batane jaa raha hu ke depression ke lakshan kya hai. Pehla, agar aap note kare ke pichle do hafton mein ke aapka mann kaafi udaas raha ho ya kaafi bhaari raha ho ya aapko kisi ko dekh kar rone ki ichha ho rahi hai, baat baat pe aap ro rahe hai, ye ek depression ka prarambhik lakshan hai. Aur depression ke lakshan hai jaisi ki bhook ka kam lagna, bhook ka adhyatik lagna, ya neend bahut aana ya neend na aana alas ke roop mein hai, aur dekha gaya hai ki aap ka kaam karne ki prati jo aapki shamta hai ya concentration hai ya attention hai wo kam ho gaya hai aur ye bhi dekha gaya hai ki aap shaaririk roop se aap ki jo activity hai ya toh wo bahut kam ho gayi hai ya bechaini badh gayi hai ya aapke khayalaat mein ye bhi aa sakta hai ki meri jo zindagi hai uska koi mulya nahi hai koi worth nahi hai, meri zindagi ke andar koi ichha nahi hai isko hum kehte hai the idea of hopelessness, worthlessness aur kabhi kabhi patient ko aatmaglaani ke bhav kaafi bhar jaate hai.

Ye depression ke prarambhik lakshan kahe gaye hai. Aur aklsar log kehte hai, “doctor sahab, depression ka ilaaj kaise aur kab tak hoga?” depression ka ilaaj do method se kiya jaata hai. Hum agar patient ko evaluate kare aur uske baad hum dekhte hai kis mareezon ko dawai ki zarurat hai ya nahi hai. Jo depression ke andar medicines chalet hai unko hum anti-depressants kehte hai. Wo lag bhag 9-11 mahine tak chalate hai. Usme bhi teen awasthaye hoti hai. Pehle hum mareez ko advice karte hai ki pehle 7-10 din tak aur fir thode samay tak 2-3 hafte tak apne manochikitsak ke sampark mein rahe. Second method, jisse log kehte hai psychotherapy ya counseling. Isme hum mareez ko sikhate hai ke apne aap ko aaram kaise karna, relax kaise karna, aur nakaraatma bhav aur vichaar se kaise chutkara paana chahiye.

Isme hum pehle mareez ko kehte hai ke negative thoughts ko pehchaane yaani aware rahe, unko challenge kare, aur nakaraatma vichaar ko hata ke positive feelings, positive thoughts, positive emotions kaise generate karne hai. Ye sab hum aapko monochikitsa ke dauraan sikhaate hai. Jisme pehle kuch haft eek se do sitting ya kabhi kabhi teen sittinh bhi lete hai. Jaise jaise aap in cheezon ka abhyas karege aapki dawai ki maatra aur dawai ki doses ko kam karte jaate hai. Aur fir ek samay aisa bhi aa sakta hai ke jab aap in cheezon ka niyamit tarah se abhyas kiya toh aapki dawaiyaan bhi chut sakti hai.

Even if you try to stay happy always, at times it is hard to keep depression at bay. Being depressed can not only make you feel hopeless, less energetic and helpless, but can also adversely affect your mental and physical health. Depression may also disrupt your daily work. So, it is absolutely essential for you to overcome depression before it becomes severe and persistent.

The following ways may help you to deal with your depression in an effective manner:

As depression affects your mood, the common tendency will be to alienate or isolate yourself. But, you must realize that locking yourself up in a room and refusing to communicate with others, can never help you to overcome your depressed situation. You will feel like spending time alone, but avoid doing that and instead connect with others. Make new friends or meet up old pals. You can also spend time with your family members or try and stay connected with others through social media.

While you are depressed, you will not feel like working at all, even the things you love doing will appear to be monotonous. You will be feeling lethargic. But stay away from laziness and set new goals for yourself. Start by setting small goals for yourself that you can easily achieve. This will boost up your confidence and prevent you from feeling worthless.

The common tendency during depression is to skip meals and not getting enough sleep. Try to avoid this. Eat healthy food and try to get some sleep. Before going to bed, you may consider reading or listening to instrumental music to help you to fall asleep.

1. Get yourself a new pet. You can engage yourself by playing with your pet or learning new ways to deal with them during your free time. This can also help you to distract yourself from the disturbing thoughts.
2. You may also consider learning something new. You may learn a new instrument or a new language. This way you can keep yourself busy.
3. Try to take new responsibilities or volunteer for some good cause. This will make you confident and also help you to feel good about yourself.
4. Practice yoga or meditation. This will help you to calm down from within and stay more focused. Also, avoid negative thoughts even if they keep coming back to you.
5. Avoid darkness for few days. Switch on the night lamp while going to bed at least for a few days. You may not feel good with the light always on and prefer darkness. But, avoid that as much as possible as this will help you to keep away your negative thoughts.
6. Most importantly, never give up and try all possible means to make yourself happy again. It will be time consuming but avoid getting frustrated. Inspire yourself and try till you get over your depression completely.

If nothing works for you and in spite of trying everything you are still unable to get over your depression, feel free to seek help. You must visit a psychiatrist and ask for professional help.
