(1) Introduction Depression is a brain disorder characterized by noticeable feelings of low mood. As symptoms intensify, various unique symptoms appear. In such cases, the impact is strong and early intervention is necessary. This time, we will look at "Three Severe Symptoms of Worsening Depression." (2) Depression Is Not a Mild Illness Depression is by no means a mild illness. As the condition worsens, its impact and danger become even greater. Depression is a brain disorder characterized by persistent depressive symptoms such as low mood. The primary cause is believed to be a deficiency of the brain chemical serotonin. The three pillars of treatment are rest, medication, and psychotherapy. The main symptoms of depression can be categorized into three categories: 1. Mental Symptoms: Depression, loss of motivation, impaired concentration and judgment 2. Physical Symptoms: Autonomic nervous system symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and nausea 3. Behavioral Changes: Avoiding others, reduced voice, etc. Depression has three stages: 1. Acute Phase: This is the period when symptoms are most severe, and rest is the top priority. 2. Recovery Phase: Gradual rehabilitation while preventing relapse. 3. Relapse Prevention Phase: Preventing relapse while reintegrating into society. Severe symptoms appear, particularly during the acute phase, making it difficult to cope on your own. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary. (3) Three Severe Symptoms of Worsening Depression As depression worsens, not only do you feel depressed, but unique and severe symptoms appear. The following three symptoms require particular attention. 1. Inability to Move As depression symptoms become severe, you may become immobile for various reasons. This makes not only work but also daily life extremely difficult. Main Causes of Inability to Move: 1. Severe Depression: Severe loss of motivation and fatigue make even the slightest movement difficult. 2. Severe Impairment of Cognitive Ability: Basic judgment becomes difficult, and necessary actions become impossible. 3. Stupor: A severe condition in which the patient remains conscious but is unable to communicate with the outside world. ② Confusion As depression worsens, various factors can lead to a state of confusion. In this state, impulsive behavior and aggression may emerge, potentially putting oneself and those around them at risk. Main causes of confusion: 1. Severe anxiety: It becomes difficult to think calmly, leading to impulsive behavior. 2. Negative thinking: This leads to a strong sense of self-denial and an inability to accept advice from others. 3. Impaired thinking: It becomes difficult to make calm judgments, leading to extreme decisions. ③ Auditory hallucinations and delusions When symptoms become severe during the acute phase of depression, "pathological experiences" such as auditory hallucinations and delusions may occur. These symptoms can have a significant impact on daily life and may even require hospitalization. 1. Auditory hallucinations: The experience of hearing voices and sounds that are not real. Depression can cause auditory hallucinations that lead to self-denial or encourage self-harm. 2. Delusions: A strong belief that something is not true, which cannot be corrected by those around you. The following delusions are common in depression: Hypochondriacal delusions: Believing oneself to be seriously ill Delusions of poverty: Believing oneself to be in extreme poverty Delusions of guilt: Believing one has committed a serious crime (4) Summary As depression worsens, symptoms become stronger and more unique, making them difficult to control. Symptoms such as immobility, confusion, and hallucinations and delusions can have a significant impact on oneself and those around them. If you notice these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention and take appropriate measures as soon as possible. With appropriate treatment, improvement and recovery can be expected.
