Can Depression change your Personality?

Image
  Depression (major depressive disorder) is a typical and significant health condition that has a negative impact on quality of life, think, and behave. It is also, thankfully, curable. Depression generates sadness and/or the loss of interest in previously appreciated activities. It can cause plenty of mental and physical difficulties, as well as a decrease in your capability to function at work and at home. Understand the connection between personality and depression has consequences for explaining aetiology and comorbidity, detecting at-risk people, and customising therapy. We go through seven primary theories that have been presented to explain the link between personality and depression, as well as crucial methodological issues such qualitative research, mood disorder heterogeneity, and personality evaluation. The extensive empirical literature on the role of personality traits in depression in children and adults is then reviewed selectively. Additionally, personality traits app

       The term "psychotropic medication" refers to a broad variety of medicines that impact mental function, behavior, and experience. Feelings of stress, sadness, psychological distress, and/or sleeplessness are generally treated with psychotropic drugs in older persons.

Medication alone can be compared to patching up a bullet wound without first removing the bullet. When mental health concerns produce significant impairment in healthy functioning, psychotropic medicines are given to treat them. Psychotropic medications usually function by altering or balancing the levels of neurotransmitters, which are key compounds in the brain. Wh

Do you know about Psychology of Addiction?

Image
  Psychology has played a prominent part in both addiction research and treatment. It is an essential element of the interdisciplinary approach required by the 'biopsychosocial' conception. Cognitive theory-based, psychodynamic , and transtheoretical methods are the three primary categories of applied psychology in the field of addictions. This contribution contains brief summaries of the most common models. The Dynamic Model of Relapse from the learning theory field and the PRIME theory of motivation from the transtheoretical area are two important recent breakthroughs in addiction psychology. Both of these developments are deviations from conventional models' linear two-dimensional perspective in favour of multidimensional non-linear models that use theories like chaos theory and catastrophe theory in the modelling process. These techniques are similar to those used to describe and anticipate complicated phenomena like weather patterns in terms of explanations and pred
