Indian and depression

The depression, a psychological illness, arises particularly frequently in hochindustriealisierten countries. In Germany sometime each third at depression suffers in its life.

Self selbsttötungen are in this country with young person the second largest and with young adult the third-most frequent cause of death.

With the North American Indians Suizid is higher around a three-way than during the remaining population of USA.

What are the causes for it?

Isn't our “prosperity” world point? - Unfortunately only the material well-being being issued is meant. The mental prosperity is many worse.

More Mitmenschlichkeit and love would surely be the best means against depression.

What are the causes of depression?

The sum of the negative life experiences leads to the depression, which can already begin in the childhood.

Children to hear those again and again to get that they are too stupidly too putrid and unwanted, develop a lack at self-assurance, which leads to the depression.
Over-protected and authoritarianly educated children has an inclination to the depression, because they did not learn independent thinking and acting.
Children, who were often alone left, develop depressions.

Not all causes for depressions have their origin in the childhood.

Constant load in the everyday life are the most frequent cause.

Completely particularly frequently women are concerned, since they are doubly loaded by education of the children and occupation.
Further causes are isolation and social disadvantage, which particularly applies to many unemployed persons. Long-term unemployed persons and their children are particularly socially disadvantaged. The number of concerning rises particularly in East Germany rapidly.
With the North American Indians still race lp and culture discrimination are added.

Naive people believe that psychologically patient like depressive criminals are and do not know, what it do? The opposite is the case. Depressive patients are noticeable straight by the fact that they are not criminal!

How does depression express itself?

A depression is not always immediately recognizable also among specialists, since it can hide itself behind other disease symptoms. One calls that a larvierte, therefore depression masked.

A typical syndrome of the depression is slowed down thinking and acting. Depressive ones are not so efficient and there we achievement pressure suspended any longer are, strengthened that the depression still more.
Some depressive one feel rushed and floated. They work day and night, are constantly busy. They do not speak frequently of their obligation however of joy. They gönnen themselves no peace and state that its work prepares joy for them.
Depressive humans withdraw themselves. They need peace, in order to regenerate mental pain, injuries and problems.
They suffer from lack of appetite or hot hunger.
They suffer from lack of sleep or strong tiredness.
Depressive ones suffer from Gefühllosigkeit. They feel as petrified and cannot not cry. They do not see a sense and no goal in their life.
Depressive ones suffer from fears and have death desires.

If the depression appears as illness so frequently in connection with social problems, it is finite at the time to help the concerning and address also politicians on it.

Together with representatives of different groups of self-helps from Saxonia I will go on 29 June 2005 to the Dresdener federal state parliament and will call there.

We as Indian supporters should us also for the fact began and to interest that one helps to Indians concerned.
