Treatment of depression - how to choose the right doctor?
Expert in the field of mental disorders is a psychiatrist. Unfortunately , in a society is common set of preconceptions, prejudices, because of which bring myself to go to a psychiatrist rather difficult . Therefore, people are beginning to look for an alternative , I think you can go to a neurologist or a therapist or a psychologist , or ( this happens !) - To a psychic . The latter option is not even worth discussing .

Few people know that a psychologist - it's not a doctor . Psychological education is different from the medical , diagnosis is beyond the competence of a psychologist. This specialist can have a very substantial assistance to the patient , but only after a diagnosis has already been installed . Set the same diagnosis can only be a doctor. Therefore, to begin treatment with an address to the psychologist unfollow .

Engaged in psychotherapy therapists, psychologists . If you decide to go to a therapist , it makes sense to find out who is an expert on education that you have chosen . If he's a doctor , it's okay . Most people go to a neurologist . Traditionally accepted that neurology and psychiatry - a very close degree . However, you do not go to a psychiatrist to treat sciatica . Similarly treat this condition should not be a neurologist .

It is best to overcome prejudices and to consult with a psychiatrist to help in treatment. Mental Health Act , which operates in Russia for more than 10 years , has canceled the infamous " psychiatric records ", so the appeal to a psychiatrist today, does not entail any unpleasant social consequences . A benefit of this treatment can be high.

A few words to relatives, friends of the patient in the recovery period
Support from the family plays a crucial role in treatment of depression. Unfortunately , almost everyone who has had a similar disorder , can share his experiences when relatives , friends demanded " pull themselves together ", " fun and forget about everything ." Former patients are told how annoyance experienced members of the family as they wondered inactivity patient, as they say, " I also do not want to go to work, but I'm coming! "

Please keep in mind that although depression is not like an " ordinary disease" (if it does not hurt, the temperature is normal , blood pressure - too) , this is a real disease , and more painful than most .

In addition, you can encourage him by telling about the people who have been treated and recovered ( among your friends are sure there will be ) .

So, if your loved one is receiving treatment of depression , we recommend the following:

do not ignore the requests of the complaint;
not to make any sudden accusations , comments;
not allowed to become sick too often left alone ;
Avoid trite consolations ;
try to convince the person - will soon be depressed , treatment will certainly help , the patient will recover very soon ;
prevent the development of feelings of guilt for the patient;
be calm , confident, at the same time we show compassion , understanding ;
not willfully be cheerful ;
capture the attention of your loved one to a positive change in the course of the disease ;
should be held in strict observation of the daily routine .


Recommendations to the patient :
At the time until the condition is severe , you have to do only one thing: to listen to the advice of doctors in a timely manner to take prescribed medication. In no event during treatment is not necessary :

To make responsible decisions. For example , many people during the depression came to the conclusion that they have to leave their jobs because feel professionally incompetent . Do not do it ! Self-assessment during the illness grossly understated. It's just a symptom of the disease . Postpone the decision until recovery.
Reproach myself that something was done . A lot of people in your state blamed himself for not having washed the dishes, swept the floor is not , not cooked dinner. Do not blame yourself for it! Inability to cope with the usual everyday things - also a symptom of depression, and to overcome the symptom of the disease at will is impossible ( you can not force the will to stop a runny nose !)
To think that your mood will never improve . Depression - always a temporary condition . From a theoretical point of view, one can not even be treated, this condition will still be held . Just now, stupid bear for too long because modern medicines (such as reksetin ) significantly accelerate recovery.
