If your mood has sharply deteriorated, and there is an incomprehensible melancholy in your soul, it is possible that you are not just in no mood, but a real micro-depression has begun. How to define it, and what to do in order not to aggravate the situation?
Micro depression is a small (in time) depression, but if not dealt with, it can result in severe melancholy. Don't confuse depression with a bad mood. True depression has several symptoms: inhibition in movement, decreased intellectual activity in the brain, and unexplained melancholy.
If you find yourself with two or more symptoms, it means that you really have depression and you need to take measures to prevent the "micro" problem from developing into a "macro" one.
Causes of Micro Depression
There is always a reason. Try recalling recent events. What upset you? Often this is not one event, but several, which followed one after the other, and fell on you with a dead weight. Of course, your psyche is malfunctioning.
The source of depression can be a quarrel with a loved one, trouble at work. Very often, microdepression can be caused by thoughts of passing youth, lost opportunities, and sometimes joyful events, only not yours, but others'. Envy can very well cause depression. You shouldn't convict yourself of a bad feeling, it is better to analyze your life. You, too, have many reasons worthy of the envy of others.
