Everyone feels dejected or depressed from time to time.\u00a0<\/p>

That is along part of our normal emotion palette and is transient.\u00a0<\/p>

However, this is not necessarily the same as having \u2018depression\u2019!\u00a0<\/p>

In depression, we notice a gloomy mood or a loss of interest or pleasure<\/b> in (almost) all activities.\u00a0You then feel this daily, throughout the <\/span>most of the day<\/b>. These complaints last <\/span>at least 2 weeks<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Various symptoms (see section what do you notice\/feel<\/a>?) disrupt your daily functioning very seriously and are NOT explained by any other physical condition or substance abuse. <\/p>

You may recognize certain feelings, but they may be transient. Then we are more likely to speak of depressive symptoms. Only when the above criteria are met do we speak of depression.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There appears to be a link between hereditary factors and personality traits on the one hand, and the onset of depression on the other. With often psychosocial stress as an eliciting factor.  <\/p>\n

Note that both \u2018depression\u2019 and \u2018depressive symptoms\u2019 both have their own causes. <\/p>

If you experience too much burden, it may be important anyway for yourself to give it the necessary attention, so that you can regain the quality of your life<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Depression is classified according to severity. We speak of a\u00a0mild<\/b>,\u00a0moderate\u00a0<\/b>or\u00a0serious<\/b>\u00a0form. Your family doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist, based on the assessment of your symptoms and consequences, determines what degree of depression you have. This is not always easy.\u00a0<\/p>

This is because several factors come into play in that assessment: other physical or psychological conditions, medication, substance abuse, risk factors, circumstances,...<\/p>

There are additionally special forms of depression:\u00a0<\/p>

Postpartum depression<\/b>, where you become depressed as a woman after giving birth<\/p>

Chronic depressive mood disorder<\/b>: This is a form of mild to moderate but chronic depression in which symptoms persist for at least 2 years.\u00a0<\/p>

Winter depression<\/b>: where a person becomes depressed for at least 2 years in a row in the fall and rebounds in the spring.<\/p>

Psychotic depression:\u00a0<\/b>in which the sense of reality is distorted and usually unrealistically pessimistic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You can experience depression in several ways. It involves at least 1 of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n

– Gloom<\/b> and lethargy<\/b> during most of the day. <\/p>\n

– Less interest<\/b> For things that would otherwise interest you.<\/p>\n

In addition to the core symptoms, other symptoms may arise : <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If many of these types of symptoms persist over an extended period of time, it may indicate depression.\u00a0<\/p>

Depression can hinder you in your daily life, your activities at home, your leisure time and at work.\u00a0<\/p>

Often you do not recognize a depressed mood yourself and cannot name your suffering as depression. Therefore, it is enlightening to briefly review the above symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As a therapist, I first try to get a view of how your complaints<\/b> put together, along with your circumstances <\/b>and characteristics of your person<\/b>. This is to keep up with your unique story. That way we can already frame and place your depression more clearly. Are there underlying factors<\/b> or circumstances that contribute to your depression or depressed mood?<\/p>

In addition, it will be important for us to look at how we can start activating you in your behavior at your size. We also call this \u2018behavioral activation<\/b>‘.\u00a0<\/p>

Also, together we will explore your so-called automatic (or unconscious) thoughts<\/b> that influence your feelings and behavior. Thinking patterns that trigger or maintain your depressive symptoms.<\/p>

The whole of thought patterns, feelings and behaviors can control your life, often without you even realizing it. Together we get a view of this and try to align and test it against reality.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It can help you a lot to talk about your feelings .<\/b>. This, with your family or friends, your doctor or your therapist. Explain to them how you feel and what this depression\/depressed mood means to you.\u00a0<\/p>

You may be thinking negatively about yourself. Disappointment, sadness and anger can begin to reinforce that negative feeling. The process<\/b> of such emotions takes time, but it really doesn't have to be carry alone!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is not the time or period to make high demands on yourself. eg: that you need to recover quickly OR be able to do your job in a normal way!\u00a0<\/i><\/p>

It's best to focus on the simple, practical tasks of your life. Through your adjust expectations<\/b> to the circumstances, you get yourself down less and empower your negative mood less! So set achievable targets<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

No matter how difficult you experience it, try to keep regularity in your life. This, by going to bed, getting up and eating at fixed (normal!) times. Try to respect your basic needs as much as possible.\u00a0<\/p>

Doing this also avoids wasting heavy energy thinking about what you might do next, Because each step may feel too heavy..<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Find distraction in activities that you\u00a0normally experience as<\/b>\u00a0pleasant and relaxing. Even if you don't like them right now, it's better than just sitting at home and doing nothing. Outdoor air and exercise can soon make you feel better!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Provide regular exercise<\/b> such as biking, walking, running or other sports. Whatever makes you feel good! There is something for everyone in the world of sports!\u00a0<\/p>

Exercising half an hour 3 times a week could help you feel less depressed and more fit.\u00a0<\/p>

And if you suffer from sleep disorders, that regular exercise can help you regain a good night's sleep.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If possible, try not to stay completely at home<\/b> of your work. If your job allows you to work part-time, it may help you not to fall completely silent.\u00a0<\/p>

This provides a Permanent fixed structure in your week<\/b>, and possibly makes you feel like you do still do something! Perhaps something like this is negotiable with your company doctor<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
