impact of Depression



There have been many studies that claim that the depression will usually be accompanied by physical illnesses such as asthma, coronary heart disease, headaches and ulcers. According to an expert who is also the author of the book, namely Phillip Rice, depression increases the risk of someone developing the disease because the condition of depression tended to increase the circulation of adrenaline and cortisol, resulting in lower immune levels. In addition, the disease is easy perch for people affected by depression are loss of appetite, so changed her eating habits (eating too much or difficult to eat), lack of exercise, fatigue and difficulty sleeping.

There are also other cases where the depression does not cause disease, but rather a prolonged illness that never healed it eventually causes the sufferer to feel depressed. An example is the depression experienced by people with cancer, asthma, back pain that usually lasts for years.

In addition to decreased immunity, depression is considered quite harmful to the psychological and physical health because it can cause a decline in cognitive function, emotion and productivity in individuals with depression,

The impact of depression experienced by one person will affect the balance of the "environment". Just as if we have a cold, then the whole body felt weak and ill. Not only that, there are other people around also potentially infected by the disease. According to Miner (1992), a professor from the State University in New York, in the context of such a situation the organization known as The Sick Organization concept. Therefore, an employee who suffered only emotional disorders such as depression, will have implications not only on performance and job satisfaction on its own but also the organization's performance and atmosphere.
