GROWTH UNDERSTANDING DEPRESSION

We’ve all had moments in our lives when we feel sad or down in the dumps. But if weeks go by and those feelings linger, it may be depression. More than mere sadness, depression can suck the joy out of life and leave you feeling overwhelmed — in some cases, unable to function. The good news: Depression is very treatable. Before taking action, here are some things to know about this common condition.

Depression can hurt.

Sadness is a symptom we’re all familiar with, but depression symptoms aren’t limited to the mind. “In older people, depression tends to manifest itself more often with physical symptoms than in younger people. Common symptoms: headaches, joint pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite and gastrointestinal issues.

Women are particularly prone to depression.

Women are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed than men. Some suspect this is due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause. Others believe that women may be more prone to chronic stress.

Symptoms of depression can look different when we’re older.

Some of us are genetically predisposed to developing depression. Unfortunately, the disorder often goes untreated in older adults, in part because their depression can be challenging to diagnose. Rather than the “classic” symptoms of sadness, fearfulness or hopelessness, older adults tend to display symptoms such as irritability, a lack of motivation or energy, or a disruption in sleep patterns or appetite.

Exercise can boost your mood.

Experts agree, managing depression is about more than just ‘Take this pill,” It’s also engaging in healthy behaviors that can help to move the depression along. Experts agree the simplest, most effective treatment is exercise.
