Es natural cuando vivimos momentos en la vida que nos hacen sentir abrumados, molestos o incluso heridos. Quiz\u00e1s acabamos de salir de una relaci\u00f3n, extra\u00f1amos a alguien o nos sentimos solos. Quiz\u00e1s lo intentamos con todas nuestras fuerzas, pero no lo logramos, o el estr\u00e9s de la vida cotidiana nos agobia. Hay muchas razones por las que podemos sentirnos tristes, pero \u00bfc\u00f3mo sabemos cu\u00e1ndo nuestra tristeza se convierte en depresi\u00f3n cl\u00ednica?<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfC\u00f3mo s\u00e9 si estoy triste o deprimido?<\/h2>\n<p>Si est\u00e1s triste porque perdiste tu trabajo, est\u00e1s pasando por una ruptura sentimental o has perdido a alguien querido, es normal. La tristeza, incluso si se siente como una tristeza extrema, es una reacci\u00f3n natural ante acontecimientos como estos. Pero la tristeza habitual puede convertirse en depresi\u00f3n si los sentimientos no mejoran con el tiempo. O si tu estado de \u00e1nimo empieza a interferir en tu vida cotidiana.<\/p>\n<p>Para ayudarte a determinar si est\u00e1s triste o deprimido, piensa en lo siguiente:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>La depresi\u00f3n consiste en estar triste, pero es m\u00e1s que eso.<\/strong>. <strong>Depresi\u00f3n cl\u00ednica<\/strong> es un <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-mental-illness\/\">estado de salud mental<\/a> que implica muchos s\u00edntomas. Estos s\u00edntomas pueden incluir sentirse agotado todo el tiempo, <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/i-feel-numb\/\">perder inter\u00e9s en actividades que normalmente disfrutas<\/a>, o tener <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/i-think-about-death-all-time\/\">pensamientos sobre la muerte y el suicidio<\/a>. Los episodios de depresi\u00f3n duran al menos dos semanas seguidas. Pueden desencadenarse por un acontecimiento triste o aparecer aparentemente de la nada.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Los cambios f\u00edsicos tambi\u00e9n pueden afectar tu estado de \u00e1nimo. <\/strong>Algunos ejemplos incluyen cambios hormonales debido a la pubertad o la menopausia, o ciertos tratamientos m\u00e9dicos o afecciones. Si cree que podr\u00eda estar deprimido, es recomendable que un m\u00e9dico revise los medicamentos que est\u00e1 tomando y le haga pruebas de tiroides y otros niveles hormonales.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quiz\u00e1s no sepas por qu\u00e9 te sientes triste.<\/strong> Si a\u00fan no est\u00e1s seguro de por qu\u00e9 te sientes deprimido, o si <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-mental-illness\/\">enfermedad mental de cualquier tipo<\/a> si hay antecedentes en tu familia, hay muchas probabilidades de que est\u00e9s sufriendo depresi\u00f3n.
