This life apparently has been hard for some individuals, they just turned from a person that simply exist to a person that simply do not want to exist anymore.
Some people may have a disorder that causes most of the
distress, and it is reasonable to address it first. For example, if a person
who is highly depressed is unable to begin treatment for an anxiety disorder,
which requires high motivation and energy, it may be necessary to treat the
depression first. Often, however it is difficult to tell which set of symptoms
is predominant, so treatment of both may start at the same time.
Often depression and an anxiety disorder can be treated
similarly. In many cases, therapy can be tailored to an individual so that it
works to reduce the symptoms of both disorders.
Several forms of psychotherapy are effective. Of these,
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) works to replace negative and unproductive
thought patterns with more realistic and useful ones. These treatments focus on
taking specific steps to overcome anxiety and depression. Treatment often
involves facing one’s fears as part of the pathway to recovery. Interpersonal
therapy and problem-solving therapy are also effective.
Medications can also be useful. Symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders often occur together, and research shows that both respond to treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) medications.
What is life after that treatment? Can someone fall off the wagon? YES, and this is the part when you have to be a listener! You might help someone, by handing it over to professionals. You can only do that when you listen first. This is when you play a role that is important, because if you can help someone, why not?
Ode to all the one that leave us so soon, by making their life non-existing.
