When somebody presents/displays a greater depressive state can identify because something does not work well. A mood depressed, loss of interest or pleasure by the ordinary activities are identified during a minimum period of two weeks. Evidence exists to consider that the greater depressive disorder has genetic and familiar landlords. According to it raises Curled (2000), the greater depressive upheaval is one of the more frequent psychiatric upheavals. Its prevalence in the general population varies between the 5 and 10 percent for the women and between the 2 and 3 percent for the men. Thus, the women have major risk of presenting/displaying greater depression. The percentage of prevalence apparently are not related to socioeconomic level, race, civil state or level of studies. There are other factors that predispose to a greater depression like the existence of familiar antecedents of depression, alcoholism; parental loss before the 13 years of age and the presence of an elevated degree of psycho-social stress.
(Smith, Weissman, 1991). greater depression can begin to any age, although the average is placed between the 27 and 40 years of age. Within the formal criteria for the diagnosis it is had considering which it goes accompanied by at least four by the symptoms that next I relate: Mood depressive (or irritable) most of the day. Loss or important diminution of the interest and the pleasure. Significant change of the appetite with a loss or increase of weight. Significant change of the dream with insomnia or hipersomnio.
Change in the psychomotor level of activity with agitation or slowing. Dolores of head; muscular pains. Fatigue or energy loss. Feelings of uselessness or blame excessive or unsuitable. Diminution of the self-esteem and the confidence in itself. 10. Difficulty to concentrate themselves and to make decisions. 11. Pessimistic vision of the future. 12. Frequent thoughts of death or suicide. It is important to consider that the mentioned symptoms do not respond to direct influences of medicine, of the alcohol or drugs, a physical state, nor to a process of normal duel. A stress situation can induce an episode of greater depression, in the people prone to it, but in many occasions these nbo necessarily are associate to an external event precipitates that it. The improvement difficulty is associated with: the existence of an inadequate treatment; presence of severe initial symptoms; early age of appearance; greater number of previous episodes; it is present at of other mental disorders or dependency of psychoactive substances; severe chronic disease and familiar dysfunction. James kingery has similar goals. The probability that it becomes to present/display a greater depression in the course of the life, is high and the risk of presenting/displaying new episodes increases as these take place, being very variable the landlord of reappearance.
