Hello, I am Rod Morgan of The Depression Workshop.com
In the 1990s, I was diagnosed with clinical depression which I suffered for five long years. Eventually I found a set of tools which enabled me to turn my life around. Now, I am back on top again, enjoying myself and doing all the things I want to.
Now one of my passions in life is helping other people to do just the same thing. When people come to me with depression, a question I often think they could ask is, What are the consequences of depression and what can happen as a result of it?
Well, of course, depression can produce a crippling combination of consequences. Things such as -
- Disturbed sleep
- Tiredness and crippling fatigue
- That fatigue can produce a short temper which can have a devastating effect on our personal relationships, our family life and our work relationships
- The fatigue can also impact negatively on our immune system
- From there it is only a short step to illness. I remember I was diagnosed with a viral infection and with that viral infection I was off work for six weeks. Being self employed, that had a huge negative impact on the income into our household
- Being off work can have a negative impact on your career as well
- As indeed it can if you develop a reputation for being depressed.
- Another possible consequence of depression is increased use of alcohol or drugs.
- Also, we can experience reduced sex drive.
- One of the things I found most debilitating with my depression was a complete inability to think clearly and make effective decisions.
So, therefore, it is very important for anybody suffering from depression to seek professional help.
