Information on Depression,
From a Life Insurance Perspective

Basic information on depression—Depression is a general term used to describe a variety of emotional and physiological disorders. It is a very common condition and advances continue to be made at treatment.

Information on depression treatment—Treatment for depression frequently includes counseling and drug therapy. Bipolar Disorder, formerly referred to as Manic Depression, is often treated successfully with modern medication. For the most extreme cases—where suicide prevention becomes a key concern for the professional—hospitalization is recommended until the condition can be brought under control. In very rare cases, electric shock therapy (ECT) may be prescribed.

Information on depression causes—Depression may have organic or environmental origins; or it may be caused by interaction between the two. Organic depression is caused by an imbalance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain and may be treated with drugs that mimic the actions of those neurotransmitters. Environmental origins frequently include job stress, family situations, financial problems, other significant medical history, or even seasonal factors in the northern climates. Treatment includes counseling to resolve the underlying causes of these depressions.

Now that we've looked at some basic information on depression, let's look at some information on suicide.
