In the modern world, 110 million people suffer from depression. The number of patients is predicted to increase in the next 10 years, and the trend continues to refer patients to general practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depression is a disease characterized by longing, despair, depression, and lethargy. According to ICD-10, depression is classified as a mood disorder (affective disorder). There are several types of depression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Depression within the framework of bipolar disorder (BAD); <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 depressive episode (mild, moderate, severe); <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Chronic affective mood disorders (cyclothymia, dysthymia); <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Recurrent depressive disorder; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Depressive reactions to stress; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Depression of organic genesis; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Depression of childhood and adolescence; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depression is characterized by decreased mood, impaired cognitive functions, somatic manifestations, autonomic reactions, and decreased activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the 10th edition of the international classification of diseases, two main symptoms of three are needed to diagnose depression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Decreased energy and increased fatigue; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 inability to get pleasure and loss of interests; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Decreased mood throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional syndromes of depression are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Decrease in concentration of attention; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 sleep disturbance; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 suicidal thoughts; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Decreased appetite; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Ideas of guilt and self-deprecation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The duration of these syndromes is observed for at least two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the structure, depressions are divided into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Asthenia; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 melancholy; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Disturbing; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Dysphoric; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Apathetic; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Vegetative; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Somatized ; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Adynamic; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Agitated; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Stuporous ; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Ironic; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Delusional (nihilistic nonsense, nonsense accusations, condemnation delirium, delusions huge, delusions of persecution); <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Depression with fixation on one’s health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most difficult to diagnose is somatized depression. With them, in addition to affective disorders, there are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Pain in the head and heart; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 neuralgia; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Decreased libido; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Amenorrhea; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Drowsiness; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Insomnia; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Asthenia; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Loss of appetite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diagnosis of somatized depression is based on the discrepancy between somatovegetative disorders and the nature of the somatic disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some somatic diseases are accompanied by mood disorders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Arterial hypertension – anxiety-depressive reactions; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Gastrointestinal diseases – hypochondriacal depression; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Ulcerative colitis – asthenia and depression; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Liver disease – dysphoria; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Cardiovascular diseases – phobias and neurotic depression; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Pre-stroke state – anxious depression; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Pulmonary tuberculosis – euphoria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Major depression can develop with organic brain damage. Depression can be accompanied by chronic back pain, migraines, tension headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depression very often occurs in middle and old age. More common in women than in men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somatized depression can be disguised as a physical illness, which can result in multiple examinations, consultations, and even surgical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For effective treatment of depression, it is necessary to correctly differentiate them and distinguish somatic pathology from somatized depression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
