It’s hard to understand a disease that has different faces. Depression is not as obvious as missing a limb, but it feels like it; It disrupts how you normally function in society like with your work performance and how you socialize with others. Our Health Care in San Antonio, Texas, not only recognizes the severity of this mental illness, but we constantly fight the stigma against it. Here are common symptoms of depression:
- There’s Nothing There to Keep You Going
You might have been a former star athlete, or you were once an excellent scholar or someone who was sought out at every gathering, but now, you feel like a shadow of your former self. You lose interest in a lot of things and happiness becomes hard to come by. - Energy Level is Always Low
The doctors of Internal Medicine in Texas, have observed low productivity in patients who have depression. They perform poorly at school or work, and would even have episodes where getting up in the morning is difficult. We’ve seen cases where parents are concerned with children who have become extremely neglectful with personal hygiene that we’ve included depression screening in our Back to School Physicals. - Constantly Feeling Small
Individuals with depression often brand themself as a failure or worthless. They have low self-esteem which hinders them from reaching out to others or from participating in activities. Our Physician sees self-deprecating humor or placing one’s unwanted feelings on others, as a common defense mechanism against low self-esteem.
We also have a Civil Surgeon for immigrants who also need consultation, here at CRESTVIEW HEALTH PLLC.
