Abstract:
Depression is a mood illness that can interfere with daily life and is characterized by
lingering sense of sadness and loss of interest. The only severe and persistent cases of
depression that should receive antidepressant treatment, along with the shortest possible
length of treatment, and a reduction in the use of these medications for anxiety disorders,
constitute a sensible use of antidepressants that takes into account all potential benefits and
hazards. The purpose of this survey is to find out the etiology of depression and also to
identify their treatment. A survey created using questionaries' was being circulated faceto-
face individually at the Jashore area. According to the survey, 25% of respondents came
to the hospital suffering from hypertension, 18% suffering from diabetes, and 28% people
came suffering from depression. 54 percent of respondents replied that they have been
worried about something. Permitting this survey, most of the people (67%) replied that
they didn’t get enough sleep. According to the survey, 36% of respondents replied that they
have felt hopeless; 33% have felt helpless. Feeling hopeless or helpless is the primary
symptom of depression. 28% of respondents replied that they have taken alcohol or drugs.
Most of the responders (91%) have responded that they have taken antidepressants without
doctor suggestions. Everyone should take drugs on their prescriber's advice, except OTC
drugs. According to the survey, 34% of respondents replied that their doctor gave them imipramine for management of depression. 23%, 20%, 12%, and 11% also replied that
doctors have been given respectively as Citalopram, Fluoxetine, Escitalopram, and
Sertraline. According to the survey, 31% of participants replied that they felt sick after
taking antidepressant. Also, 24%, 21%, and 24% of participants replied that they have been
felt headaches, dizziness, and falling very sleepy. In this survey, we can say that most of
the people have been taken antidepressants irrationally, and they have also been taken
antidepressant without the prescriber's advice.
