    INTRODUCTION

    It is currently widely accepted that providing an adequate knowledge of a disease facilitates the person suffering from its recovery, especially in the case of psychological disorders. For this reason, health education is being considered good practice clinic and is becoming increasingly relevant in health services.

    One of the main proposals of the second edition of the Process Integrated Welfare Anxiety, Depression, and Somatizations consists in granting protagonism to those interventions that are centered on the patient, oriented to enhance their resources to overcome minor processes and brief and thus avoid inadequate medicalization. Among the alternatives to boarding Non-pharmacological is the use of self-help material. It's about an intervention method that goes back to the origin of the psychotherapies themselves.

    As an example of this, in 1926, Geraldine Coster publishes the book: Psychoanalysis for healthy people. In him it was tried to approach the psychodynamic theory of Freud to the general population, summarizing it in tips and suggestions to make it more affordable

    Also, in 2011, doctors from the Mental Health Clinical Management Unit Regional Hospital of Malaga and the Health District of Malaga developed the Clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of depression in Primary Care.

    During the process, the developer group detected the need to arrange a complementary self-help material to facilitate the approach of the Depressive and anxiety disorders in Primary Care. In this way, come the self-help guides that are presented here together, whose content is based on a form of therapy called cognitive-behavioral, the modality of psychotherapy that, according to scientific evidence, has demonstrated be more effective in the treatment of this type of pathologies.

    This ebook is specifically aimed at people with anxiety disorders and mild depressants, and their family members, who are interested in learning about their process and the strategies they can follow to promote their Recovery. They can also be useful for healthy people who want improve some skills of your daily life, promoting growth and personal maturation Health professionals would be facilitators of the material and would provide support, in this case, the action would go beyond the simple transmission of information. These guides can be considered as single interventions or as a complement to the treatment facilitated by a therapist.

    The most important goal of these guides is for the reader to become an agent active in his recovery process, directing and starring the actions that scientific research recommends for disorders mild mental. For this, the content of the guides provides the information necessary for the person to understand what is happening to them, in clear language and without technicalities, and introduces the techniques needed for the proper handling of the main depressive and anxious symptoms.

    CHAPTER 1

    WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

    What is depression ?

    Lately, I feel sad, and I do not feel like doing anything. I start crying for anything, and everything feels terrible. I do not comment on my worries because I think that no one can understand what is happening to me, and that makes me feel very alone, even if surrounded by people. I consider myself a very cheerful person, but I have had many negative thoughts for a long time, about myself and my future.

    I feel distracted; my memory fails me; I have many misconceptions. Do not I remember simple details like where I left the car keys or the list of the purchase. I have a hard time concentrating on work, and I have a feeling of permanent fatigue. In the morning I find it hard to get out of bed, the day It makes me very long, and I have difficulty relating to others, even with my wife.

    I have a terrible run; I see everything black and no way out. I have the spirit shallow and self-esteem through the floors. I do not know a solution to my situation. Since I retired, I stopped going out with friends and doing the things that they liked. It's as if my life has no meaning. I do not go to the country on Sundays anymore with the family, nor do I see football in the bar with friends. I have no plans for the future no projects that excite me. I've even thought that life no longer makes sense for me and that I would not mind dying.

    What is depression?

    The fact of feeling sad, depressed, of having negative thoughts or difficulty sleeping does not necessarily mean that you suffer depression. The moments of sadness, doubt, or questioning are part of life. Throughout life and about the events that are going on happening, people experience a wide range of feelings, from the saddest to the most optimistic.

    Within this variety of emotions, sadness, discouragement, and despair They are everyday human experiences. These decreases in the mood they should not be confused with those experienced by a depressed person. Depression is a disease, as is diabetes or an ulcer stomach. To speak of depression, and therefore of illness, it is required:

    •  that these feelings present themselves (almost) continuously during a period greater than two weeks;

    •  that cause significant discomfort in one or several areas of daily life (difficulty or inability to get up, go to work, go out to do shopping...).

    Which people are most at risk of developing depression?

    Anyone can suffer from depression at some point in their life. However, some have a higher predisposition:

    •  People who have experienced a stressful event.

    •  People with chronic stress (continuous stress)

    •  Those people who have lost a job or have difficulties find him.

    •  Women who experience hormonal changes

    •  Those with a family history of depression

    •  People who have had a difficult childhood including the first mourning experiences

    •  Pregnant women

    •  People who suffer from a particular physical illness

    •  People who have some other mental health problem

    •  Those with a life-threatening disease or pain chronic

    •  People with some chemical imbalance

    •  People who have previously been depressed

    •  Lack of exposure to sunlight in winter

    •  People who have difficulties adapting after moving to a foreign country (immigrants).

    What Are The Causes Of Depression?

    When Faced with depression , explanations are often sought, and the first questions that arise are: "Why me? What has happened to me?

    What is due? What have I done? The need to understand and make sense. What happens to us is a natural process, especially about painful experiences? It is also common to resort to explanations that they might seem possible. You think of external causes (It's because of the problems I have with my children , If my mother lived I would not have these problems , It's because of the economic problems) or internal causes (It's my fault, No I like it enough , I do not know how to do my job ").

    However, these interpretations are often far away from the causes of depression and are often an obstacle to the treatment and healing, delaying a consultation with the doctor. Depression, like most mental illnesses, is not caused by a single factor but is the result of a set of mechanisms of different nature that still they do not know each other completely.

    In general, it is considered that biological factors exist, psychological and environmental (those related to the social environment or the family). Some of them can act long before depression occurs; they Prepare the ground and are known as risk factors (or vulnerability). For example, the fact of having a father or a mother who has suffered depression would increase the risk of being able to be affected by the disease. In the same way, having experienced traumatic events or conflicts serious in the family during early childhood is associated with an increased risk of depression in adulthood.

    Others act just before the depression, unleash it, and they are known as precipitating factors. Some of the factors that may favor or hasten the Emergence of depression are:

    •  Genetic factors: In some people, there may be a predisposition genetic, there being family history that increases the probability to suffer it. Women suffer more often from depressions that the men.

    •  Biological factors: In our brain, there are chemical substances called neurotransmitters that pass signals from one cell to another. In depression some of these systems, particularly those of Serotonin and Noradrenaline, they do not seem to be working properly. Some women present it after childbirth due to hormonal changes that occur during this period. It's the so-called depression postpartum (for more information about this type of depression see specific brochure).

    •  Social factors: Certain especially complicated and challenging situations that occur in life (family problems, work, etc.) can favor their appearance.

    Studies show that depression and anxiety predominate in women. This type of disorders are significantly associated with social risk factors, more prevalent in women than in men, such as socioeconomic deficiencies (women traditionally more impoverished by pensions and lower salaries, dedication to unpaid work), the continuous responsibility of caring for third persons or gender violence.

    •  Others:

    -  Sometimes a physical illness (cancer, diabetes, diseases cardiac, Parkinson's, eating disorders, thrombosis, Alzheimer...) or taking certain medications make it appear.

    -  The consumption of alcohol and drugs also favor their appearance.

    -  Some people have symptoms of depression, recurrent at the same times every year, especially in areas with a significant difference in light between summer and winter.

    What are the symptoms of depression?

    ›  Conduct:

    Crying attacks, isolation from others, neglect of responsibilities, loss of interest in appearance, loss of the motivation.

    ›  Emotions:

    Sadness, anxiety, guilt, anger, mood swings, lack of emotions (affective dullness), feelings of despair

    ›  Thoughts:

    Self-criticism, guilt, worry, pessimism, memory problems, lack of concentration, difficulty in decision making, confusion, ideas about what other people see you badly.

    ›  Physical symptoms:

    Feeling tired, lack of energy, sleeping a lot or very little, overeating or loss of appetite, constipation, loss or weight gain, irregular menstrual cycle, loss of appetite sexual, pain without obvious explanation.

    How do I know if I am depressed?

    Often the person does not realize how depressed they are, because Depression has developed gradually. Maybe he tries to keep fighting and cope with feelings of depression by keeping busy, but this It can cause even more stress and exhaustion. Then the pains begin physicals such as constant headache or insomnia. Sometimes these are the first sign of a depression....

    Identify The Precursor Signs Of Depression

    Learning to detect the warning signs of a depressive episode makes it easier to take the initiative to see the doctor as soon as possible and thus prevent a worsening of the disease.

    These signals vary from one person to another (each one can have its signs), but often they are the same ones that reappear in the case of presenting recurrent depressive episodes (which recur throughout life).

    The most common signs are usually:

    -  a change in mood (mainly sadness and crying) without reason);

    -  the loss of interest in often pleasurable activities

    -  Problems with sleep (waking up in the first hours of the tomorrow, not restful sleep...);

    -  constant anxiety with times when it becomes acute, even in situations so far considered routine and without risk (go from purchases, for example);

    -  unusual irritability that requires a lot of energy to control it;

    -  excessive tiredness or slowness of movements;

    -  an inability to function, to carry out daily tasks;

    -  greater sensitivity to noise;

    -  unusual changes in appetite (decrease or increase).

    Recognizing your signs is particularly useful in the case of recurring episodes. Keeping a diary indicating your mood during the day can be a good idea, helpful for you and your doctor.

    Is depression just a form of weakness?

    Many people do not ask for help from their doctor / or because there is a widespread belief that depression is a sign of weakness of character or that the person has given up as if he could choose the problem. None of this is true. It is a disease that can affect the most determined people; even the strongest personalities can suffer it. The will is not enough to get out, mainly because the disease produces a feeling of low self-esteem and negative thoughts. It is a common and treatable disease; it requires help, not critical.

    Are The Depressions Completely Healed?

    The duration of a depressive episode can vary from several weeks to several months or even years. Most episodes depressives last less than six months. A complete cure (disappearance of all symptoms) is possible, but the risk of recurrence of the disease after full recovery
