    About this ebook

    For depression to be present, it must be more than just feeling down or frustrated for a few days. Even healthy people experience depression at times, but depressive episodes last for weeks or months rather than just a few days in depressed individuals.

    Some people believe that depression is a non-existent medical condition and that it is not a genuine health condition. They are mistaken – it is a legitimate illness with legitimate symptoms.

    A state of depression is not a sign of weakness, nor is it something that can be "snapped out of" by "pulling oneself together." In order to "snap out of it," you can't just will yourself to be happy when you are depressed.

    It is impossible to overstate the importance of positive thoughts and affirmations in one's life. A wealth of information and practical steps on how to apply these patterns of thinking can be found in this book, which can be extremely beneficial on your road to recovery.

      Introduction

      This book is for people who have low self-esteem, insecurities, and, most importantly, depression.

      While I have no intention of making light of depression, I do want to discuss a possible solution that may help people who are suffering from it in some way.

      This isn't meant to be medical advice, but rather some observations that might help put things into perspective.

      Even though there are a lot of people around you, feeling upset, sad, or depressed can make you feel incredibly alienated and alone.

      Stress, loss, and adversity affect people in different ways. When faced with adversity or loss, many of us have experienced low moods and spirits.

      We may lose our appetite, sleep, and desire to socialize and meet new people. This shift in conduct is a natural human response to a stressful environment. As a result, this state is only temporary and will pass in a few days.

      However, if symptoms such as low mood, hopelessness, changes in appetite, sleep patterns, loss of interest in hobbies, anhedonia, and feelings of guilt persist for more than two weeks and negatively affect our social, domestic, and occupational functioning, it is no longer a normal reaction, but a pathological one, and clinical depression should be considered.

      Major depression is a very prevalent occurrence in many cultures. Despite the fact that it is a treatable condition, it is usually undiagnosed due to its insidious nature and the shame associated with diagnosis and treatment.

      Chapter One

      An Argument for Immediacy

      Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the third greatest cause of years lived with disability (YLDs), which can be defined as years lived in poorer than optimum health, in Pakistan and globally, according to the International Global Burden of Disease research.

      In Pakistan, the social-economic burden and mental disease are enormous. According to recent estimates conducted in Pakistan, MDD contributes significantly and was projected to be worth roughly $4,264 million in 2006. Suicide is a common result of severe clinical depression.

      A person commits suicide every 40 seconds, according to a report published in 2014. Twenty people attempt suicide for every person who commits suicide.

      Mental illness in general, and serious depression in particular, represent public health concerns that necessitate action by public health policy institutes and governments.

      Signs, Symptoms and Diagnosis

      Major Depressive Disorder is diagnosed using a collection of nine symptoms
