Medical Video: 8 Signs You're Suffering from Depression Without Knowing It
Job demands, problems that occur at home, or school exam schedules that are getting closer can create stress and depression for those who experience it. Have you ever experienced an office or home problem that made you stressed and depressed, then after you passed you became ill? Disease is not when you are stressed, but rather in the recovery period afterwards. What causes the body to get sick after you have successfully passed stress and feeling depressed?
New diseases come after the stress subsides
Try to notice that when you are overwritten by a problem and a heavy burden, then you feel depressed. At that time, you actually have full strength to deal with all problems. But when everything goes by, you feel sick, whether it's a migraine, having a cold, or various other diseases.
Yes, most people will feel the body hurt when the problem has passed and their stress level decreases. Do not believe? This has even been proven in several studies. one of the studies conducted in 2015 in Taiwan found that hospital emergency rooms there were actually full on holidays or weekends rather than weekdays.
Almost the same as the research, researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine stated that the participants who took part in the study mostly did not experience migraines when feeling stressed. In fact their migraines come when stress and feeling depressed slowly diminish.
When viewed from both studies, it can be concluded that the body is sick even after the stress is gone. This condition is called effect the let down, where the body actually feels pain due to the remnants of the stress response that has just appeared.
Then what causes the body to get sick when stress has diminished?
So this way, as long as you are stressed when facing problems, your body experiences acute stress. This condition will make the body release glucocorticoid hormones, catecholamines, and adrenaline.
All of these hormones function to respond to stressful stimuli that you experience which then change some body functions, such as speeding up your heart rate, increasing blood pressure, and increasing your immune system. Yes, at that time you will be stronger because the body takes out all of its forces to maintain its condition so that it is not inferior to the stimulus that comes.
But when the problem is resolved and you no longer feel stressed or depressed, the body will pull all of its troops back, so that your immune system immediately decreases at that time. In addition, when stress levels decrease, prostaglandins, which also function to respond to stress, are still left in the body. While prostaglandin tends to produce an inflammatory response in the body and can trigger rheumatism or headaches. The immune system that is not strong and the inflammatory response that appears, makes the body sick easily at that time.
