Depression, The Silent Epidemic | FULL DOCUMENTARY

In 2000, the World Health Organization stated that depression had reached epidemic proportions: 350 million people are concerned by this leading cause of disability worldwide, which may affect 50% of the people on earth during their lifetime.
Today, it seems absolutely necessary to look into this contemporary curse, with a fresh approach. What if we stopped reducing depression to a strictly individual phenomenon? What about searching the collective causes to such profound distress?

Depression at its worst is terrifying. It’s like you can see it happening to yourself but you can’t stop it. Your stomach can be in knots of dread and despair and It can go on for months or longer. It will scare you if you have it bad. You may have insomnia too so can’t even escape through sleep. If you are reading this and have experienced it you will know how it can be

[@jmorrisey79]

Reach out to who?

[@StressRUs]

Clinical depression is the result of our overactive stress response exhausting our capacity to produce and release serotonin and dopamine, both of which are released in the stress response. So, more stress, more depression. Questions?

[@VestalNumbre]

More negative emotion deeper depression. All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,+ for disciplining in righteousness,+ 17

[@soulofexistence]

It's much more deeper than that. You can be stressed and feel happy and fullfiled because you're working towards something purposeful. What people need nowadays is not really less stress, it is a meaningful purpose for living. But I agree with the fact that constant stress is what detracts people to pursue a purpose

[@kWYQ1337]

@@kulaykulayyyy I'm not a medical professional, but I have worked in the medical field and also have depression since CV 2020 as most of us have. When one is stressed or exerts a more emotional response to stimuli that produces stress, their bodies produce cortisol, which is coined the stress hormone. Cortisol, in healthy levels is beneficial as it can regulate memory/cognition, improve your immune system and lower sensitivity to pain. However, excess levels of cortisol are often found in patients with depression. The initial comment has validity in that excess levels of cortisol can falter/offset the effects of dopamine/seratonin and homeostasis. A great article to read on is "Beware High Levels of Cortisol, the Stress Hormone" by Premier Health.

[@kWYQ1337]

@soulofexistence, Agreed. Stress often carries a negative connotation, but as you implied, there is also a good stress. In a flight or fight response, our bodies produce cortisol (the stress hormone). In one's everyday life, the stress (life events, obstacles, career, finances, etc) that isn't taken action on, may lead those to ponder more about the stress itself than taking action, which could lead to depression. However, the good stress (the same stimuli as above), could be one to conquer and take control of, which is gratifying and fulfilling to overcome. I've seen both instances. The key distinction is how we deal with our stresses and identifying what is our purpose.

Depression is not about believing in God or not. It is an illness that can affect anyone like any other disease, no matter whether you are a believer or not

The chemical imbalance theory has been debunked. Look for the research. I dare you.

[@minakatahizuru]

If you are depressed change life style take break go to nature etc. Taking drugs which damages your brain and doesn't change issue with your mood since you don't solve problem at all just "treat" symptom like people taking drugs, alcohol to "forget" about their problems total nonsense.

If alleviating depression were as simple as taking a break to go for a walk this wouldn't be an issue. It's much more complex than that.

[@minakatahizuru]

You all are being conditoned by watching shitty tv with depressing propaganda crap, dont watch tv beyond movies, series, workout, create something draw, make origami, something with hands figurines etc. No point being depressed doesn't change a thing find, do anything fulfilling. And take time off overworking like corporate drone robot is nonsensical. People should work max 40 hours a week and even less 32.
