The influence of anxiety and depressive disorders on the social and religious life of an individual

Vrlo užurban i stresan način života, kod čovjeka stvara određena raspoloženja poput tuge, razdražljivosti ili utučenosti s kojima se ne može uvijek nositi ili ih ne može kontrolirati. Ovakve promjene raspoloženja kod nekih osoba stvaraju smetnje, a kao reakcija i posljedica na takvo stanje najčešće se javlja depresija. Uz depresiju kod velikog broja ljudi javlja se i anksiozni poremećaj. Depresija je emocionalno stanje obilježeno velikom tugom i zlim slutnjama, osjećajem bezvrijednosti ili povlačenjem od drugih ljudi. Ljudi u depresivnom stanju najčešće negativno doživljavaju sebe i svoje okruženje. Bezvoljnost pri aktivnostima koje ljudi obavljaju u životu, apatično ponašanje u drugim aktivnostima, premali i preveliki apetit, problemi sa spavanjem, lijenost ili suicidalno ponašanje su neki od simptoma koji mogu ukazivati na ove probleme. Anksioznost ili tjeskoba je emocionalno stanje u kojem se ljudi osjećaju nelagodno, prestrašeno ili nemirno. Ljudi obično osjećaju anksioznost zbog stvari koje ne mogu kontrolirati, predvidjeti ili zbog nečeg što im izgleda opasno i prijeteće. Prema procjenama Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije depresija bi do 2020. godine mogla postati drugi svjetski zdravstveni problem, odmah iza kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Ono što je zadatak stručnjaka, timova i pojedinacajest da više rade na pronalaženju novih i korisnih metoda i načina kako na vrijeme pomoći osobi da što prije postigne željeni napredak i postigne izlječenje. Iz tih je razloga skrb i briga za osobe sa psihičkim poremećajima i pomoć koja im se može pružiti: zadaća cijeloga društva, a posebice medicinske struke. Depresivna raspoloženja i anksiozni poremećaji često puta imaju utjecaj i na vjerski život pojedinaca. Osobu zahvaćaju razmišljanja o besmislu života, teretu patnje koju teško može prihvatiti, a često puta dolazi i dokrize vjere. Stoga bi i u pastoralu Crkve, važno mjesto trebao imati pastoral bolesnika sa psihičkim poteškoćama.A very busy and stressful way of life creates certain moods in people like grief, irritability or dejection which cannot always be easy to deal with or control. These kind of mood changes create disturbances in some people and depression is the most common reaction and consequence to such condition. Besides depression, a great number of people also suffers from anxiety disorder. Depression is an emotional state characterized by great sadness and evil ideas, the sense of worthlessness or social withdrawal. Depressed people often have negative perception of themselves and their surroundings. Passivity in daily activities and apathetic behaviors in other activities, lack of appetite, great appetite, sleeping problems, laziness, or suicidal behavior are some of the symptoms that may indicate these problems. Anxiety or apprehension is an emotional state in which people feel uneasy, frightened or restless. People usually feel anxiety about things they cannot control, predict, or because of something that looks dangerous and threatening to them. According to the estimations of The World Health Organization, depression could become the second world health problem by 2020, right after cardiovascular diseases. The task of the experts, teams and individuals is to work more and more on finding new and useful methods and ways to help a person achieve desired progress and get well as soon as possible. Due to these reasons, care for people with mental disorders and assistance that can be provided to them is the task of the whole society and in particular the medical profession. Depression and anxiety disorders often also have impact on the religious life of individuals. The person thinks about the nonsense of life, the burden of suffering that can hardly be accepted, and often has crises of faith. Therefore, in the pastoral care of the Church, an important place should belong to pastoral patients with mental disabilities
