DEPRESSION
What is depression? And why entrepreneur experience it?
Depression is not just a long-term bad mood. This is a mental disturbance, that is a disease that must be treated. Sooner or later an entrepreneur experiences stress which leads towards the depression. And a depressed person can not get success neither in business nor in life.
When entrepreneurs do not get success they start feeling low and empty. Stress and long hours of working leading to burnout.
People who are sensitive to cruelty and injustice, who are more likely to feel overwhelmed.This is the conclusion reached by scientists. Their test results showed that hundreds of people who were characterized by prosocial behaviour, a desire to sympathize with the offended, suffer from depression. Other scientists had obtained similar results when trying to figure out the reasons for social withdrawal.
Experiment of imaginary investment
At the beginning of the experiment, they used a game test to determine the degree of empathy of the students and analyzed their brain activity. Young people were asked to invest imaginary money in risky or dishonest ventures. Prosocial guys rejected such options, while their brains gave out a vivid emotional reaction. The
individualists reacted much more calmly.
A year later, researchers analyzed the same group and found clear symptoms of depression in students who showed an overly emotional response in the first
experiment. Even with regard to age, gender, and social group. someone wrote that the most stressful professions in the world are female.
However, psychology experts warn that it is extremely dangerous to draw global conclusions. Both studies focused on a group of young people between the ages of 18 and 26, as well as those parts of the brain that fully mature only by the age of 30. This age group is characterized by a reduced level of stress resistance. Perhaps the tendency to despondency lies in the overly acute reaction of young people to the imperfection of this world and the inability to remake it.
For an entrepreneur not only entrepreneurship but depression can be caused by the traumatic environment of a city, country or family, as well as frequent use of gadgets. When
Depression is not just a long-term bad mood. This is the mental disorder that needs to be treated. According to the world health organisation (WHO), depression affects more than 300 million people of all ages worldwide. Severe forms of depression lead to suicide. This makes depression especially dangerous for young people.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 29 years. Moreover, depression is a major cause of disability.
There are known effective treatments for depression, but according to the WHO, less than half of those who suffer from it receive such treatment in the world. And in some countries, less than 10% of cases are receiving treatment.
