Many doctors and scientists have been talking about the dangers of depressive moods for years. And every time in their speeches all new facts are heard. The point here is not only the likelihood of harming oneself, but also others.
Disappointing statistics
According to scientists from the World Health Organization, depression is more dangerous than asthma, angina pectoris, arthritis and diabetes combined. It has a devastating effect on the relationship between people, the physical condition and financial position of the individual.
The main danger for patients with depression is a very strong state of longing and despair, at the peak of which they are even capable of committing suicide. This is especially true in patients with a pronounced sense of anxiety. According to scientists, every day about 15 people in the world make a suicide attempt in connection with depressive moods. It is quite natural that this disease is still considered the only condition that entails such a huge number of unforeseen deaths. To prevent this situation, it is necessary to identify depression at an early stage and take the necessary measures to treat it.
Also, according to American scientists, in people suffering from depression, the risk of developing Parkinson's disease is three times higher, and the likelihood of multiple sclerosis increases five times.
In addition, people suffering from depression cannot take advantage of a healthy lifestyle that has a beneficial effect on the human body. Researchers concluded that depression leads to a decrease in anti-inflammatory effects caused by moderate alcohol consumption and exercise. This is another danger of depression, which currently affects about one in ten in the world.
