At men, unlike many women, it is heavy to distinguish depressive frustration. This results from the fact that, first of all, there is a wrong opinion as if not as a real man to share the problems, showing that you cannot cope with them, at the same time showing the weakness. The second reason disappears in male ability to hide a depression behind aggressive behavior or, what is even worse, behind abuse of alcohol. All nothing, but exists several types of a depression, and about one of them, reactive, it will be a question slightly below.
Nature of a mental disorder of this type
At sharp mental injuries the probability of developing of depression of a such type is high. The reactive state comes then when the personality worries or endured a severe mental injury, for example, death of the loved one.
Often emotional and sensitive people are subject to reactive depression. It can look as a classical mental disorder (depression), and to take a form of pronounced somatic diseases.
The depression of this look is usually divided into two types:
- true and depressive;
- reactive depression at hysterical people.
Symptoms of reactive depression
For suffering from a depression of reactive type it is characteristic:
- dejectedness;
- mood sad for all day;
- last, the future and the present is represented in dark paints;
- self-accusation in the happened tragedy is not excluded.
Duration is no more than 2-3 months. There are cases and longer course of a disease.
Patients with a true and depressive reactive mental disorder suffer from insomnia, tearfulness, depression, feeling of hopelessness, also vegetative violations are inherent in them. Such people are completely concentrated on a trouble that happened in their life.
Most often the depression occurs in persons of hysterical type. In their character there are certain features with which the nature of appearance of a disease is connected. The sick person behaves grotesquely. He can say on public that nobody will manage to understand his sufferings, and is firmly convinced that society is obliged to treat it with special attention.
Depression consequences
The influence of a depression on the person is longer, the it is more harmful. So, throughout all this period the brain is in the slowed-down state. If it is recorded, then finally the reason will apprehend it as new vital style, owing to, nothing good should be expected (as all symptoms will remain that are inherent in a reactive state).
Treatment of reactive depression
Each its type responds to treatment. The most effective – psychotherapy, if necessary the expert prescribes the patient intake of antidepressants.
If you noticed that your loved one has a depression, do not share his pessimistic views at all. Keep an emotional distance. Try to convince him that anybody's there is no fault in the incident, you seek to carry away the victim in activity, useful to it.
