Depression -- Mesothelioma & Asbestos Cancer Glossary of Terms
Current Location: Mesothelioma & Asbestos Cancer Glossary of Terms -> D -> DepressionMany of us tend to say that we feel depressed from time to time without even thinking about what depression actually is. Although we may feel down now and again, clinical depression is actually quite a serious problem that can affect people on a long-term basis as well as affecting them severely. Clinical depression describes a bout of depression that lasts for longer than a two-week period and starts to affect the daily life of the sufferer.
There are a number of common symptoms associated with clinical depression, and some of these include continual low moods, suicidal thoughts, weight loss, sleeping problems, lack of energy, increased agitation or aggression, mood swings, being unable to concentrate, anxiety, deep sadness, and tearfulness. Depression may occur as the side effect of a chronic illness, or even as the side effect of medication or treatment being administered for such an illness.
There are a number of steps that can be taken to help deal with the depression that is linked with chronic illness. It is very important to deal with the issue, as depression can become quite a threat when it becomes serious, and if left untreated, it could become a serious problem. The treatment for depression can vary depending on the severity and the cause of the depression and can range from additional medication to help reduce symptoms of depression to a change in diet and lifestyle.
Depression often comes about quite soon after a person has been diagnosed with a serious illness, such as cancer, and can last for months afterwards. Often, for those who have been diagnosed with cancer, understanding the disease and its implications and talking to people in a similar situation can really help, and it is well worth newly diagnosed patients seeking the support and assistance of their local cancer support group.
