Many people do not have much understanding of depression. In fact, it belongs to a psychological problem. After contracting it, many people are unaware of it in the early stages. Due to a lack of timely adjustment, the condition will worsen, leading to serious damage to the body. Today, let’s understand what obvious manifestations the body will have in the early stages of depression.
What are the early signs of people with depression?
People with depression generally have experienced psychological trauma in childhood or are currently living in a high-pressure state, where the body and mind are not released, leading to psychological issues and the onset of depression.
In the early stages, only emotions may be problematic. One often finds oneself in a low mood, not interested in external matters, immersed in one’s own world, where external joys and laughter seem disconnected, with a tendency towards pessimism and a lack of optimistic thoughts.
Furthermore, one’s reaction time may also be much slower than before. While doing things, one may often find oneself daydreaming, standing still in place with items in hand, taking a long time to respond to others’ calls. There is also a tendency to be forgetful and absent-minded, forgetting what one intended to do. Alone, one may prefer to stay in a corner, silently lost in thought, without any desire for anything.
Some individuals may undergo changes in character due to depression, seeking perfection and reacting with anger at minor dissatisfactions. Later, emotions return to normal, though at this point, the depression is already severe, leading to uncontrollable emotions and self-denial.
As psychological issues worsen, insomnia may begin to occur. Initially, one may experience insomnia, with some resorting to sleeping pills, which may only provide temporary relief. Ultimately, this does not change the insomnia situation, which may worsen over time, sometimes leading to an entire sleepless night spent staring at the ceiling.
In severe cases, one may feel that there is nothing left worth living for in this world, resorting to extreme methods to harm oneself. Therefore, it is crucial to have someone by their side at such times, to comfort them properly. We need to empathize and not view their situation from our own perspective.
As a friend or family member, it is important to guide them, make them feel recognized and valued by everyone. At the same time, be cautious not to provoke them at this time since their psychological endurance is weak. Slowly guiding them towards looking forward to this world will help ease their condition.
Depression has a significant impact on the human body. Do not think it does not concern you. In fact, many patients are unaware of their condition in the early stages. Therefore, it is essential for those around them to pay attention to any anomalies. I hope none of the mentioned expressions apply to you.
