WHAT IS DEPRESSION
Depression is a common mental disorder that presents with depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration. These problems can become chronic or recurrent and lead to substantial impairments in an individual's ability to take care of his or her everyday responsibilities. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide, a tragic fatality associated with the loss of about 850 000 lives every year.

Depression is the leading cause of disability as measured by YLDs and the 4th leading contributor to the global burden of disease (DALYs) in 2000. By the year 2020, depression is projected to reach 2nd place of the ranking of DALYs calcuated for all ages, both sexes. Today, depression is already the 2nd cause of DALYs in the age category 15-44 years for both sexes combined.

Depression occurs in persons of all genders, ages, and backgrounds.

Facts

1. Depression is common, affecting about 121 million people worldwide. 2. Depression is among the leading causes of disability worldwide. 3. Depression can be reliably diagnosed and treated in primary care. 4. Fewer than 25 % of those affected have access to effective treatments.

Depression can be reliably diagnosed in primary care. Antidepressant medications and brief, structured forms of psychotherapy are effective for 60-80 % of those affected and can be delivered in primary care. However, fewer than 25 % of those affected (in some countries fewer than 10 %) receive such treatments. Barriers to effective care include the lack of resources, lack of trained providers, and the social stigma associated with mental disorders including depression.

Primary care based quality improvement programs for depression have been shown to improve the

1. quality of care, 2. satisfaction with care 3. health outcomes, 4. functioning, 5. economic productivity, 6. household wealth at a reasonable cost

SUICIDE
Magnitude of the problem:

Suicide is among the top 20 leading causes of death globally for all ages. Every year, nearly one million people die from suicide.

Risk factors:

Mental illness, primarily depression and alcohol use disorders, abuse, violence, loss, cultural and social background, represent major risk factors for suicide.

Prevention of suicide:

Prevention:

Restriction of access to means of suicide, such as toxic substances and firearms, identification and management of persons suffering from mental and substance use disorders, improved access to health and social services, and responsible reporting of suicide by the media are effective strategies for the prevention of suicide.

OTHER MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES/DISORDERS
Mental health is about how we think, feel and behave. One in four people in the UK has a mental health problem at some point, which can affect their daily life, relationships or physical health.

Mental health problems can affect anyone. Without support and treatment, mental health problems can have a serious effect on the individual and those around them.

Every year in the UK, more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals and over 4,000 people commit suicide. Mental health disorders

Mental health disorders take many different forms and affect people in different ways. Schizophrenia, depression and personality disorders are all types of mental health problem.

Diseases such as dementia generally develop in old age, whereas eating disorders are more common in young people.

There is no single cause of mental health problems and the reasons they develop are complex. Who is affected

Mental health problems are more common in certain groups, such as:

1. people with poor living conditions 2. people from ethnic minority groups 3. disabled people 4. homeless people 5. offenders

Sometimes, people with mental health problems are discriminated against. This can lead to social problems such as homelessness, which may make the mental health problem worse.

Some mental health problems are more common in certain people. For example, women are more likely than men to have anxiety disorders and depression. Drug and alcohol addictions are more common in men, and men are also more likely to commit suicide.

Mental health problems can develop as a result of difficult life events, such as moving house, losing your job or the death of someone close to you. Drinking too much alcohol over a long period of time and using illegal drugs can contribute to mental health problems, particularly in people who are already vulnerable. Treatment and support

People with mental health problems need help and support to enable them to cope with their illness. There are many treatments, including medication, counselling, psychotherapy and self help.

It is important that people with mental illnesses are told about the options available so they can decide which treatment suits them best.

An important step in the recovery process is for the person to accept that they are ill and to want to get better. This can take time, and it is important for family and friends to be supportive.

Many support groups and charities offer advice, confidential counselling and information about the types of treatment available and where to get help.
