Hoi
Heb niet heel de thread gelezen dus vanaf het begin:
1. Zoek het onderliggende probleem en los het op of laat het los.
The Analytical Rumination Hypothesis:
This hypothesis suggests that depression is an adaptation that causes the affected individual to concentrate his or her attention and focus on a complex problem in order to analyze and solve it.
One way depression increases the individual’s focus on a problem is by inducing rumination. Depression activates the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, which increases attention control and maintains problem-related information in an “active, accessible state” referred to as “working memory,” or WM. As a result, depressed individuals have been shown to ruminate, reflecting on the reasons for their current problems. Feelings of regret associated with depression also cause individuals to reflect and analyze past events in order to determine why they happened and how they could have been prevented.
Another way depression increases an individual’s ability to concentrate on a problem is by reducing distraction from the problem. For example, anhedonia, which is often associated with depression, decreases an individual’s desire to participate in activities that provide short-term rewards, and instead, allows the individual to concentrate on long-term goals. In addition, “psychomotory changes,” such as solitariness, decreased appetite, and insomnia also reduce distractions. For instance, insomnia enables conscious analysis of the problem to be maintained by preventing sleep from disrupting such processes. Likewise, solitariness, lack of physical activity, and lack of appetite all eliminate sources of distraction, such as social interactions, navigation through the environment, and “oral activity,” which disrupt stimuli from being processed.
The Social Navigation/Niche Change hypothesis:
The social navigation or niche change hypothesiscombines the analytical rumination and bargaining hypotheses and suggests that depression, operationally defined as a combination of prolonged anhedonia and psychomotor retardation or agitation, provides a focused sober perspective on socially imposed constraints hindering a person’s pursuit of major fitness enhancing projects. Simultaneously, publicly displayed symptoms, which reduce the depressive’s ability to conduct basic life activities, serve as a social signal of need; the signal’s costliness for the depressive certifies its honesty. Finally, for social partners who find it uneconomical to respond helpfully to an honest signal of need, the same depressive symptoms also have the potential to extort relevant concessions and compromises. Depression’s extortionary power comes from the fact that it r**ards the flow of just those goods and services such partners have come to expect from the depressive under status quo socioeconomic arrangements.
Tl;dr: Patiënt vergroot een bepaald probleem in zijn hoofd (uiterlijk/handicap etc.) en trekt zich terug om er een oplossing voor te vinden. Escapism (videogames/rukken) treedt hier vaak in waardoor patiënt noch aan het probleem werkt noch terug zijn leven op pakt.

2. Pak het symptoom aan mocht je het probleem niet aan kunnen pakken of willen. Blijf van SSRIs/benzos af. Mogelijkheden:
Hormonaal:
Laat je hormonale waarden checken en vergelijk ze met test-waarden uit voorgaande jaren.
Moderne waarden zijn BIJGESTELD en dus niet meer representatief van
wat het moet zijn.

En als laatst: zelfmoord is zwak en egoïstisch. Nooit maar dan ook nooit langer dan 2 seconden de tijd geven en gelijk het gedachteproces afkappen.
