What Trigger Depression, Part 2
Dear Reader,
Depression is far more common than you might think, with an estimated 15 million U.S. adults dealing with these crippling symptoms right now. If you're one of this number, you need to understand that you feel this way because of a recognized medical illness, not a character flaw or weakness of your generation or lifestyle. What's even more important to depressed patients and their families is that this condition can be treated, and treated successfully. Things will get better; it will not be this way forever.
You can do something for yourself by thinking about the ten added depression triggers we've listed here. Some triggers are a lot harder to think about, to face, than others. Just know that so long as you're facing facts and not hiding from problems you are on the road to getting better.
TRIGGER #1 Domestic violence. If you saw domestic violence as a kid this is an independent risk factor for depression in your early 20s according to research from the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. It's terribly traumatic to see someone you love be hurt. As a kid you feel unsafe, out of control and helpless, and all these same feelings are what predispose you to having depression.
TRIGGER #2 Alcohol. Binge drinking (4 or more drinks in 2 hours for women) is linked to a higher risk of depression over time according to research that included nearly 16,000 adults studied over a 5-year period. Alcohol is known to be a depressant, which means that it's able to suppress brain chemicals that keep your mood even. It also impairs judgment, leading to bad choices and sadness due to a situation that was caused by drinking.
TRIGGER #3 Carrying too much weight. Being obese (a BMI over 30) was linked at a 55% higher risk of depression over time according to research from the Netherlands. Adults who were overweight (BMI of 25 to 29.9) had a 27% higher risk. Researchers speculate that obesity produces low-grade inflammation all over the body and inflammation is associated with higher risk of depression.
TRIGGER #4 A hostile husband. Not surprisingly a man's hostility in marriage is tied to increases in a wife's depressive symptoms according to a study from the University of Missouri. The worse the husband's behavior, the more depressed the wife. It wears you down. Relationships are so central to our everyday lives that persistent negativity is going to be hard for most people to deal with on a daily basis.
TRIGGER #5 Underactive thyroid. The link between underactive thyroid gland and depression is documented. Hypothyroidism usually causes fatigue, sluggishness, unexplained weight gain, heavy periods, dry skin and a depressed mood. If you have these symptoms, see your doctor.

What Trigger Depression, Part 2 Continued...
TRIGGER #6 Feeling lonely. It probably doesn't take research (but there is, from
the University of Chicago) but two studies of middle aged to older people found
higher levels of loneliness are linked to more depression. The two can act as
a team to torpedo emotional well-being. The brains of lonely people are on high
alert for social threats, often implanting the expectation of bad outcomes to
social encounters and thus trying to avoid them.
TRIGGER #7 Not enough folic acid. Women with more depressive symptoms also tend to have lower blood levels of folate, found in leafy veggies. A study from Mass General Hospital found that those with low folate levels were taking an antidepressant were more apt to feel a delayed improvement in symptoms than those with normal folate levels. Folate is key to neurological function needed for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters that regulate mood. Daily intake should be from 400 to 800 mcg of folic acid.
TRIGGER #8 Financial difficulties. If you suffer a home foreclosure or another extreme financial setback, you're hit especially hard in terms of mood, as you can well imagine. The process is lengthy and highly stressful and calls for lots of supportive, upbeat people to help you cope with the loss and make a fresh start.
TRIGGER #9 Smoking or second hand smoke. After looking at the smoking habits and mental health of over 1,000 adults, New Zealand researchers found a cause and effect relationship between smoking and depression. Cigarette smoking ups the risk of depression, most likely due to the effects of dependence on nicotine. It also could be the chemicals in cigarettes as a new study from University College London found that secondhand smoke is also linked to psychological distress and a higher rusk of future psychiatric illness.
TRIGGER #10 Being a perfectionist. A Yale study found that this trait was related to the emergence of symptoms of depression, while research at the University of Manitoba found that self-criticism that accompanies perfectionists is what ups the risk of depression. Even when you try your best, things won't be perfect all the time, you need to accept this, focus on what you have, not what's wrong.
To your good health,
