INTRODUCTION
All these are myths, and mostly created by faith healers, or unqualified
counsellors, and non-medical experts for their own vested interest, and
largely by an unaware of society. An increased awareness, and approach to
psychiatrists, has been the main reason for the increase in number of
patients and not necessarily an increase in prevalence. With newer
medication, and better facilities, treating depression has become easier, and
most people respond very well to treatment, and return to
optimum functioning very soon.
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
There has been much speculation about modern environments causing an
epidemic of depression. This review aims to determine whether depression
rates have increased and review evidence for possible explanations. While
available data indicate rising prevalence and an increased lifetime risk for
younger cohorts, strong conclusions cannot be drawn due to conflicting results
and methodological flaws. There are numerous potential explanations for
changing rates of depression. Cross-cultural studies can be useful for
identifying likely culprits. General and specific characteristics of modernization
correlate with higher risk. A positive correlation between a country’s GDP per
capita, as quantitative measure of modernization, and lifetime risk of a mood
disorder trended toward significance.
While there are more and more treatments for depression, the problem is
rising, not falling.
A key reason for the continuing rise in depressive illness is that drugs do not
necessarily “cure” the patient, and other therapies that can make the crucial
difference are usually not in sufficient supply.
Other reasons given for the continuing rise in depressive illness include an
ageing population (60- to 74-year-olds are more likely to suffer than other age
groups), and rising stress and isolation.
CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
Major life events, such as bereavement or the loss of a job, can cause
depression. But depression is distinct from the negative feelings a person may
temporarily have in response to a difficult life event.
Objectives
Expected outcomes(both)
our team will be able to ensure awareness among the people in their
respective areas through posters, blogs and interactive videos.
Educate people through our vast and various topics affecting the society
and giving solutions.
Plant caring by planting seeds and growing some young plants.
Animal care by feeding stray and domestic animals.
Trying to give food to the poor people at least for a day.
VARIOUS STEPS TAKEN TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES
Vairamini divided all the members into various teams to handle different
aspects of our work. I was assigned to work as a blog writer and distribute food
to the poor people and also starving animals through funds generated and also
my own money. Blog are online journals that are updated frequently,
sometimes even daily. An update (also called an entry post) is also quite short,
perhaps just a few sentences and readers can always respond to an entry
online. Vairamani arranged various meetings regularly to support and guide us.
Health has been defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as the
"state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity".
Hence, to promote the wellbeing of all human beings, the World Health Day is
celebrated every year on April 7, marking the founding anniversary of WHO.
This day provides an opportunity for the organisation to rally action around a
specific health topic of concern to people all over the world.
According to the data, in 2016, psychiatrists wrote more than 9.4 million
new prescriptions for anti-depressants. This has increased by 12 per cent from
8.4 million in 2015.
Similarly, the data provided by AIOCD Pharmasofttech AWACS, a
pharmaceutical market research company, shows that the sale of these drugs
has shot up by more than 30 per cent in the last four years - from Rs 760 crore
in 2013 to Rs 1,093 crore in 2016.
They have emphasised on an action plan for the world where "mental health
is valued, promoted and protected. Additionally, mental disorders are
prevented and persons affected by these disorders are able to exercise the full
range of human rights and to access high quality, culturally-appropriate health
and social care in a timely way to promote recovery, in order to attain the
highest possible level of health and participate fully in society and at work, free
from stigmatization and discrimination".

Although there are known, effective treatments for mental disorders, more
than 75% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment
(2). Barriers to effective care include a lack of resources, lack of trained health-
care providers and social stigma associated with mental disorders. In countries
of all income levels, people who experience depression are often not correctly
diagnosed, and others who do not have the disorder are too often
misdiagnosed and prescribed antidepressants.
In some cultural contexts, some people may express their mood changes more
readily in the form of bodily symptoms (e.g. pain, fatigue, weakness). Yet,
these physical symptoms are not due to another medical condition.
single episode depressive disorder, meaning the person’s first and only
episode);
recurrent depressive disorder, meaning the person has a history of at
least two depressive episodes; and
bipolar disorder, meaning that depressive episodes alternate with
periods of manic symptoms, which include euphoria or irritability,
increased activity or energy, and other symptoms such as increased
talkativeness, racing thoughts, increased self-esteem, decreased need
for sleep, distractibility, and impulsive reckless behaviour.
