Depression – The Hidden Struggle

0

Depressive disorder, frequently referred to as depression, is more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch. It’s a serious mental health condition that requires understanding and medical care. Left untreated, depression can be devastating. Fortunately, with early detection, diagnosis and a treatment plan consisting of medication, psychotherapy and healthy lifestyle choices, many people can get better.

Some will only experience one depressive episode in a lifetime, but for most, depressive disorder recurs. Without treatment, episodes may last a few months to several years.

Depression - The Hidden Struggle

TYPES OF DEPRESSION

Major depression:

Characterized by deep sense of unhappiness and a lack of interest in things you used to enjoy like hobbies, friends, etc.

Bipolar disorder:

Characterized by alternating periods of depression and elation. The high periods are called Mania.

Symptoms

Depression can present different symptoms, depending on the person. Common symptoms include:

  • Changes in sleep
  • Changes in appetite
  • Lack of concentration
  • Loss of energy
  • Lack of interest in activities
  • Hopelessness or guilty thoughts
  • Changes in movement (less activity or agitation)
  • Physical aches and pains
  • Suicidal thoughts

Causes

Depression does not have a single cause. It can be triggered by a life crisis, physical illness or something else—but it can also occur spontaneously. Scientists believe several factors can contribute to depression:

  • Trauma. When people experience trauma at an early age, it can cause long-term changes in how their brains respond to fear and stress. These changes may lead to depression.
  • Genetics. Mood disorders, such as depression, tend to run in families.
  • Life circumstances. Marital status, relationship changes, financial standing and where a person lives influence whether a person develops depression.
  • Brain changes. Imaging studies have shown that the frontal lobe of the brain becomes less active when a person is depressed. Depression is also associated with changes in how the pituitary gland and hypothalamus respond to hormone stimulation.
  • Other medical conditions. People who have a history of sleep disturbances, medical illness, chronic pain, anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to develop depression. Some medical syndromes (like hypothyroidism) can mimic depressive disorder. Some medications can also cause symptoms of depression.
  • Drug and alcohol abuse. Approximately 30% of people with substance abuse problems also have depression. This requires coordinated treatment for both conditions, as alcohol can worsen symptoms.

Treatments

Although depressive disorder can be a devastating illness, it often responds to treatment. The key is to get a specific evaluation and treatment plan. Safety planning is important for individuals who have suicidal thoughts. After an assessment rules out medical and other possible causes, a patient-centered treatment plans can include any one or a combination of the following:

  • Psychotherapy including cognitive behavioral therapy, family-focused therapy and interpersonal therapy.
  • Medications including antidepressants, mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medications.
  • Exercise can help with prevention and mild-to-moderate symptoms.
  • Brain stimulation therapies can be tried if psychotherapy and/or medication are not effective.
  • Light therapy, which uses a light box to expose a person to full spectrum light in an effort to regulate the hormone melatonin.
  • Alternative approaches including acupuncture, meditation, faith and nutrition can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan, but do not have strong scientific backing.

CELEBS WHO HAVE BATTLED DEPRESSION

  • Manisha Koirala – She suffered from clinical depression and is also a survivor of cancer.
  • Yo Yo Honey Singh – There is a reason why we have been missing his peppy songs for a while. During that time, he was suffering from bipolar disorder. He shared his storywith his fans recently, just like a true rockstar.
  • Shah Rukh Khan – He suffered from depression ailment post his shoulder surgery in 2010.
  • Deepika Padukone – This Bollywood beauty not only opened about herself being suffering from depression in a TV interview but also took a step ahead to establish a centre for mental health to help people going through the same phase.
  • Varun Dhawan – Not many of us know but actor Varun Dhawan revealed that he was battling from depression while shooting the movie, Badlapur.
  • Ileana D’Cruz – She talked about her struggle with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, anxiety and depression and how constant help and support from family and friends help her during tough times.

Depression and College Students

A lack of sleep, poor eating habits, and not enough exercise are a recipe for depression among college students. The stress that comes with academia — including financial worries, pressure to get a good job after school, and failed relationships — is enough to force some students to leave college or worse.Depression is the biggest risk factor for suicidal youth. Other risk factors include:

  • substance abuse
  • a family history of depression and mental illness
  • a prior suicide attempt
  • stressful life events
  • access to guns
  • exposure to other students who have died as a result of suicide
  • self-harming behaviors such as burning or cutting

Treating depression in college students

College is a stressful environment for most young people, therefore it’s especially important for parents, friends, faculty, and counselors to get involved if they suspect a student is suffering from depression.

Depression - The Hidden Struggle

The best treatments for college-aged students with depression are usually a combination of antidepressant medications and talk therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy. Depressed students are also more likely to benefit from exercise, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough rest than many other groups.

So depression is completely a normal thing. It’s a biological problem. More and more people should talk openly about it. There is nothing shameful about it or something to hide. If you had a constant stomach pain, wouldn’t you go to the doctor? It’s that simple. So in my view, people should make this a mission, to take any shame out of talking this in open, and educate people about the causes and ways to come out of depression and live a happy life.

She died on 27th Oct 2017. Let us look at her inspiring life

Remembering the Incredible Women, Queen Of Thumri : Girija DeviBeginning:

Girija Devi was born in Varanasi into a zamindar family. Her father was deeply interested in music and learned it from a profound teacher. Originally from Uttar Pradesh, her father moved to Bengal to learn music, becoming a part of Seniya and Benaras gharanas.Watching her dad practice and listening to music made her deeply attached to it at a small age of 5. She used to spend all her time with her father. Her father taught  swimming, horse riding and singing.  He made her practice in the morning after bath and took her to Guru for further learning.

Appaji:

Girijaji had siblings. When she was young her older sister had a son. He started calling her Appa as he was learning to talk. Soon everyone around her i.e family, friends, teachers started calling her Appa. She preferred being referred as Appa too.

Marriage:

Learning singing continued till she reached the age of 17. She then got married and had a child in the first year of marriage. It was the only one year gap in her life without music.

Hurdles:

She couldn’t bear the fact that she did not learn and practice singing. Her husband who was 20 years older to her understood her passion for singing. He was a music enthusiast himself.  His only condition for her was to not perform in a closed audience like in front of the Rajas and Maharajas. Accepting the terms she only gave public performances from schools to concerts.  Her mother and grandmother were also not happy with her decision to pursue music too because it was not considered respectful for a woman to sing in public during those times. Even the women around were not that comfortable of her choice. She chose to learn simple music too and sang them which is sung during events like marriage or function for a pregnant lady. This got her accepted.

Remembering the Incredible Women, Queen Of Thumri : Girija DeviBalancing Life:

She never took a step back from her household responsibilities. She cooked, cleaned, took care of her children all while doing her Sadhana.

Her payment was 90 rupees and first class tickets were covered with this money.  The payment was same for every other famous performing artist during that time. This kickstarted her courier of public concerts on huge platforms. She got the chance to perform and watch accomplished singers on the same stage. Her audiance had included freedom fighters, prime ministers and cheif ministers.

Remembering the Incredible Women, Queen Of Thumri : Girija Devi

Teaching Music:

In 1980’s Girija Devi taught music in ITC Sangeet Music Academy, Kolkata and in Bananas Hindu University, Uttar Pradesh during 1990’s. She believed that the student teacher relation was more like the family where students were given motherly love and were treated strictly during practice. She had a decorated students from various fields like doctors, teachers etc.She has also released cassets of her music.

Sadhana:

Girija Devi believed in continuous Sadhana. Even on her last performance, she said that even though she had practiced and learned her art for over 80 years she always found something new to learn. She used to say that even a lifetime is not enough to learn an art and its practice can be started at any age be the person old or young. Even at her old age, she did her morning practice to strengthen her voice as much as possible. Her aim was to sing till her last breath which she did.

Remembering the Incredible Women, Queen Of Thumri : Girija DeviAwards:

She had started performing internationally too on her fans being worldwide. Girijaji was awarded PADMASHRI in 1972, Padma Bhushan in 1984, Padma Vibhushan in 2016 among many.

Her Message :

Even after all the fame and respect, Appaji was humble and loving. She always preached that those interested in one art should stick to it and spend all their lives learning and practicing it while respecting the Guru.

Girija Devi teaches us to find our strengths, passion and work on it until the end. The path of learning has no end and there is something new to absorb every day. If the interests are right boredom never appears in the path.
