How to use DEPRESSION in a sentence?
Another Great Depression scenario is hard to see.
All I can tell you is that Im looking around in my community and Im seeing the devastation and the suffering of people whose businesses have been bankrupted --people dealing with anxiety, depression, suicide is spiking, the abused being quarantined with their abusers, and I can[t] just ignore that.
There is only on type of sleep that could help my depression and it's eternal.
We know statistically, based on our experience with the China trade shock in the 2000s, that unemployment creates more suicides, depression and drug abuse, but we also know this in this crisis, as we've basically locked down our hospitals for everything but Covid, women haven't been getting mammograms or cervical examinations for cancer. We haven't been able to do other procedures for the heart or the kidneys. And that's going to kill people as well.
When we say talk therapy, we’re talking about different kinds of therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, also known as CBT. CBT has been shown to be very effective in combination with medication. And psychotherapy is an essential component to treat someone who has severe depression, the good news is that there are very good treatments for depression and there are response rates that are as high as 80% of people within four to six weeks. So I am very hopeful that he will make a full recovery.
