The spring depression is the phenomenon which is often observed as at women, and (contrary to general opinion) - at men. Though at a strong half of mankind the symptoms of a depression and nervous exhaustion are expressed, as a rule, not so brightly as at women, but it is impossible to disregard this illness at all.
Usually, staying in a depression, any person, irrespective of gender accessory, feels weak. But if the woman can show the emotional state, then men since the childhood are accustomed to restraint therefore it is much more difficult to distinguish symptoms of a depression at men. Besides, not each man is capable to admit that he has so "female" disease openly. However according to statistical data, women show desire to make a suicide four times less often than men. Experts believe that the high level of suicide risk among the stronger sex is connected with fear of most of men to recognize presence of a depression.

Those men who do not accept such "methods" find a way out that they steep in work. In certain cases, the man subject to a depression can out of nowhere begin to do any extreme sport. One more option – driving at the increased speed.

How to struggle with a spring depression?
Competent treatment of a depression usually is based on two methods – medicamentous and psychotherapeutic. Usually both of these methods are applied in parallel that promotes the fastest achievement of result.
Medicines for treatment of a depression have to be selected in especially individual order. Incorrectly picked up antidepressant can cause the mass of side effects. Respectively – the depression not only will not leave, but also to be aggravated. All antidepressants it is necessary to accept so much time how many the attending physician recommended. Usually such treatment continues quite long time, but it is worth interrupting administration of drugs only in case of identification of their intolerance. If you noticed that medicine causes side effects, both in physical, and in the mental plan, it is worth addressing the expert for selection of an analog. It is not necessary to interrupt a course and in case you noticed that the depression has not an effect any more. The lack of strong indications of a disease does not mean its full treatment at all. Therefore, it is necessary to create some "reserve of durability".
As for psychotherapeutic treatment – it is also selected individually. Its methods are based on the symptoms reflecting a depression, character of the patient and his life for the previous period. Very often the causes of a depression are in children's fears and the internal conflicts of the person. Psychotherapeutic methods only in case of developing of a so-called endogenous depression are inefficient. Therefore at its treatment they are applied infrequently and only in total with an intensive medicamentous course.
