UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH a health column from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Depressive Illness When the times are out of joint, when most of the news is bad, when the future looks dark, we find ourselves in a social climate more conducive to mental depression. The social and cultural cli­ mate is only one factor relat­ ing to depressive illness, but in "hard times" and periods of transition and social upheaval we tend to pay more attention to such influences. It must be clearly under­ stood that there is more than one kind of depression. Some­ times it is just normal feelings of "the blues" resulting from the moderate stresses, losses, and discouragements thai most of us undergo from time to time. But when mental health professionals classify depres­ sion as an illness, it means they have diagnosed a per­ son's condition as something more than a normal case of the blues. Depression can be a very serious illness indeed. In fact, so many seriously depressed people attempt sui­ cide that depression may be considered the only "fatal" mentaJ illness. It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed. Two main categories of de­ pressive illness are neurotic depression and psychotic de­ pression. Neurotic depression is the most common and is a milder form, usually brought on by stressful situations. Of those hospitalized for depressive ill­ ness, 75 percent are of this type; and thousands receive help at community mental health centers and clinics or under cajat of private practi­ tioners. 'f Psychotic depression is far more serious and is quite complex. It may show itself in severely withdrawn, apa­ thetic behavior; it may take the form of agitated activ­ ity; or it may be expressed in "up and down" mood swings (manic-depressive ill­ ness), going from the apa­ thetic phase to periods of manic activity and back again. A phase may last from several days to several years. The National Institute of Mental Health, a part of HEW'S Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Adminis­ tration, has published a pam­ phlet on the depressive ill­ nesses which covers the fore­ going topics and several others, including electrocon­ vulsive therapy (ECT), prom­ ising advances in drug ther­ apy, and what friends and family can do to help suffer­ ers of the more moderate forms of depression.
