Depression: Like a Common Cold of Human Beings
Journal Title: Journal of Enam Meical College - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Our mood varies according to events in the world around us. We are saddened (depressed) when we fail to reach in goal or lose a test. Similarly we are happy or enjoying when we achieve something. Our normal emotion of sadness and happiness can become polarized into more severe forms. Sadness can become profound despair or depression and happiness can become elation or mania or hypomania. This polarization is called a ‘bipole’, with depression at one extreme and mania or hypomania at the other. Depression is defined as morbid sadness and it is the combination of both misery and malaise. Depression appears as common cold in the domains of psychiatry.
