Depression, a seemingly simple but profound word, actually represents a complex and serious mental health problem. It is not a simple depression, but a persistent mental illness that affects an individual's daily life and work.
In the world of depression, patients seem to be trapped in a thick haze, unable to extricate themselves. Their hearts are filled with negativity, helplessness, and despair, as if they are tightly bound by invisible shackles and cannot breathe freely.
They may lose interest and enthusiasm for life, become indifferent to the things they originally enjoyed, and even feel incapable of daily activities.
The causes of depression are varied, including biological factors, such as genetic and hormone level changes, as well as psychosocial factors, such as childhood trauma, interpersonal tension, and increased work pressure. These factors interact with each other and work together to contribute to the development of depression.

Depression is scary, what are the consequences?
First of all, depression can seriously affect the mental health of patients. It can leave the patient in a state of self-blame, helplessness, and hopelessness for a long time.
This negative mindset not only leads to a loss of confidence in life, but also may trigger complex psychological problems such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and anger. Without timely intervention, these psychological problems can be exacerbated and even lead to suicidal tendencies.
Secondly, depression can also have a serious impact on the patient's physical health. Due to long-term depressed mood and insomnia, the patient's immunity will be greatly reduced, and he will be susceptible to various diseases.
At the same time, their appetite and digestive system can also be affected, leading to malnutrition and physical weakness. What's more, long-term psychological stress and depression can also lead to serious diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure.
In addition, depression can have a negative impact on the patient's ability to socialize and work. Due to low mood and low self-esteem, patients are often reluctant to communicate with others, resulting in a gradual narrowing of social circles.
And at work, they may affect work efficiency and quality due to problems such as lack of concentration and slow thinking. These consequences not only affect the patient's personal development, but can also be burdensome to the family and society.
