Depression generally refers to depressive disorder, which can be determined through clinical symptoms and related examinations. 1. Clinical Symptoms: For individuals with mild depressive disorder, the main clinical symptoms include persistent low mood, lack of interest in anything, and a constant feeling of melancholy throughout the day. They may also have low self-esteem and may be accompanied by anxiety, irritability, nervousness, memory loss, and other adverse symptoms. 2. Related Examinations: After matching the above symptoms, if they align with the indications of depressive disorder, one can visit a local formal hospital for examination and evaluation by a professional psychiatrist. Examinations may include brain imaging tests such as MRI and CT scans of the head, electroencephalogram, laboratory tests, and mental status rating scales. Targeted treatment will be provided after confirmation of the diagnosis.
It is recommended that patients actively cooperate with doctors for adjustment after being diagnosed with depressive disorder to avoid severe consequences. They should relax, avoid anxiety and tension, strengthen nutrition in their diet, and avoid being picky eaters. Appropriate physical exercise can be conducted to enhance physical fitness and disease resistance.
