Final presentation What is depression?

Good morning everyone.
Some people may think it's not a good morning.
Some people may feel depressed because the exam is coming soon.
Or, I think that anyone who has lived for nearly 20 years has experienced at least one sinking feeling.
If it lasts only for a few days, you are maybe healthy, but if it lasts more than two weeks, you may have a mental illness.
The theme of my presentation this time is depression.
Depression may not be familiar to college students, however,
Statistics show that 1 in 15 people will suffer from it in their lifetime.
Don't you think it's surprising?
So I think it's not a loss and it makes sense for us to think about depression.

What is depression? That's a difficult question. It is difficult to define in modern medicine. Still, the symptoms are known. Symptoms affect the body as well as the heart because the body and mind are related. For example:
 mental symptoms include a depressed mood and decreased interest in things.

 physical symptoms include sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, and fatigue and so on.
Therefore, treatment of depression requires treatment of not only mental symptoms but also physical symptoms.

So what causes depression?
One of the major causes is stress. A lot of tasks that we university students face can also be a cause.
In addition, there is a personality that is easy to get depressed.

That is, Serious, responsible, and perfectionist personality tends to cause depression.
Most of all, according to modern psychiatry, the imbalance between the chemicals that control emotions in the brain, such as serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine, is thought to be a major factor. In other words, depression is a disease that cannot be cured without treatment.
And like other physical diseases, depression is understood to be caused by physical abnormalities.
This is something that cannot be emphasized enough.

What are the treatments for depression?
Treatment consists mainly of rest, psychotherapy, and drug therapy.
As mentioned above, depression is in a sense,  illness caused by chemical substances so rest is neither a bad thing nor a reprimand. In fact, people who are prone to depression often do not get enough rest. In drug therapy, rational drugs are used to eliminate the underlying imbalance.

In convergence,
In my presentation, I explained the symptoms, causes, and treatment of depression.
As I said before, 1 in 15 people will suffer from the disease in their lifetime, so it will certainly be helpful to have the right knowledge. Also, please consider not only your body but also your mental health occasionally.

I hope that you can lead a healthy university life both mentally and physically.

Thank you for listening.

中間プレゼンテーションが７月にようやく終わるっておかしくないですかね・・・

ってな訳で最終プレゼンテーションは急にやってきました。

depressionをテーマにしたのは適度に書きやすそうだったからです。

テーマ選びに一番苦労するってのは中間プレゼンと同様ですね。

健康には気をつけましょう。
