How can stop depression after retirement

Depression after Retirement

Depression is described as "a mental illness is characterized by feelings of sadness and lack of interest in enjoyable activities.  It is a persistent low mood that interferes with the ability to function and appreciate things in life. It may cause a wide range of symptoms, both physical and emotional. It can last for weeks, months, or years. People with depression rarely recover without treatment." 

 We all look forward to retirement.Idea of retiring brings in a sense of doom and has a finality to it. Individuals who have taken immense pleasure in doing their jobs, often find themselves lost after retirement. They feel  helpless, for not having anything to keep themselves busy. They can do other things to keep themselves busy.Once a person is faced depression , it becomes quite difficult to show any interest in performing daily activities. These people realize that they were good at their jobs, they were efficient and were appreciated.  The honest truth is that, once you have retired, accept it gracefully and be grateful for the opportunities you received for proving your caliber. It can be harder on those individuals who spent a majority of their lives in working.Finally as a result it avoid personal relationships at home and with other family members and friends. Such people find themselves lost and lonely, because they fear it's too late to make amends or rekindle fond relationships.

Reasons for depression

Depression can be rooted in a chemical imbalance of the brain but is often environmental. It's normal and natural to be depressed after the death of a loved one,like our mother.We all know mother is how much important in our life.Its a great thing gift by god. Medication is not always necessary for this kind of depression because it's perfectly normal.  Talk therapy, emotional support, a good diet and exercise routine is the way of reducing depression.

Sugars, caffeine and trans fats should be avoided or used in great moderation. Daily sunshine can also help with mood and physical exercise is important.

Prevent depression 

• Lead a balanced lifestyle and cultivate interests outside of work.
• Plan ahead before retirement what we can do after that.with your time.

• Prevent loneliness by busy our self to work for friends,family members.
• Don't get angry,emotional for bad things we faced in our life.

Diagnose when our self can be depressed

• Always sad, empty mood.
• Feelings of hopelessness.
• Loss of  interest in ordinary activities.
• Problems with sleep (sleeping too much or too little)
• Loss of appetite.
• Decreased energy
• Irritation for all things.
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions.
• Thoughts of death or suicide.
  

 There is no solution for depression without changing our lifestyle by environmental circumstances.Each and every problem has a solution in our life.So don't take decision like suicide for any situation.

Dengu fever

What is dengue fever?

Dengue (pronounced DEN gee) fever is a painful, debilitating mosquito-borne disease caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses. These viruses are related to the viruses that cause West Nile infection and yellow fever.Mosquito named as Aides mosquito.It is not spread  to  one  person  to  another  person.

signs of dengue fever include bleeding gums, severe pain behind the eyes, and red palms.

Dengue  can affect anyone but  it more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of four stereotype's of virus, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times.  Attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular stereotype to which the patient was exposed.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a more severe form of the viral illness. Symptoms include headache, fever, rash, and evidence of hemorrhage in the body. Petechiae (small red or purple splotches or blisters under the skin), bleeding in the nose or gums, black stools, or easy bruising are all possible signs of hemorrhage. This form of dengue fever can be life-threatening and can progress to the most severe form of the illness, dengue shock syndrome.

Symptoms of Dengue Fever

Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, may include

• Sudden, high fever
• Severe headaches
• Pain behind the eyes
• Severe joint and muscle pain
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Skin rash, which appears three to four days after the onset of fever
• Mild bleeding (such a nose bleed, bleeding gums, or easy bruising)
  

Sometimes symptoms are mild and can be mistaken for those of the flu or another viral infection. However, serious problems can develop. These include dengue hemorrhagic fever, a rare complication characterised by high fever, damage to lymph and blood vessels, bleeding from the nose and gums, enlargement of the liver, and failure of the circulatory system. The symptoms may progress to massive bleeding, shock, and death. This is called dengue shock syndrome (DSS)

Diagnosing Dengue Fever

Doctors can diagnose dengue infection with a blood test to check for the virus or antibodies to it. If you become sick after travelling to a tropical area, let your doctor know.This will indicate he patient is infect with dengue.

Treatment for Dengue Fever

Today there is a number of specific medicines are used to treat the dengue . If you think you may have dengue fever, you should use pain relievers with acetaminophen and avoid medicines with aspirin, which could worsen bleeding. You should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and see your doctor.

If you start to feel worse in the first 24 hours after your fever goes down, you should get to a hospital immediately to be checked for complications.We are awaking to reducing mosquito .The dump of water is settled in the tanks This easily cause the infection.

Jaundice

 Jaundice

Jaundice, is a term used to describe a yellowish tinge to the skin ,mucus membrane,and sclerae (the white part of the eye) that is caused by hyperbilirubinemia that means an excess of bilirubin in the blood resulting increase level of plasma. Body fluids may also be yellow. The color of the skin and sclerae varies depending on levels of bilirubin; mildly elevated levels show yellow skin and sclerae, highly elevated levels shows brown.
Bilirubin is a waste product that remains in the bloodstream after the iron is removed from the hemoglobin.It is done by the process called degradation of erythrocytes (cells that contain hemoglobin and can carry oxygen to the body). Excess of bilirubin is passed to the surrounding tissues, saturating them with this yellow substance.
Bilirubin is circulating freely in the blood is called unconjugated bilirubin. Once it present in the liver, other chemicals are combined with bilirubin, creating a substance called conjugated bilirubin, is formed in the bile and then excreted. Bilirubin is what gives feces its brown color.

Types of jaundice:

• Hepatocellular jaundice - a type of jaundice that occurs as a result of liver disease or injury.
• Hemolytic jaundice - a type of jaundice that occurs as a result of hemolysis (an accelerated breakdown of erythrocytes - red blood cells) leading to an increase in production of bilirubin.
• Obstructive jaundice - a type of jaundice that occurs as a result of an obstruction in the bile duct (a system of tubes that carries bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine), which prevents bilirubin from leaving the liver.

 causes of jaundice

These are the matters are mostly cause jaundice. They are,

• Acute inflammation of the liver - may impair the ability of the liver to conjugate and secrete bilirubin, resulting in a buildup of bilirubin.
• Inflammation of the bile duct - may prevent the secretion of bile and removal of bilirubin, causing jaundice.
• Obstruction of the bile duct - prevents the liver from disposing of bilirubin, which results in hyperbilirubinemia.
• Hemolytic anemia - Production of bilirubin increases when large quantities of erythrocytes are broken down.
• Cholestasis-a condition in which the flow of bile from the liver is interrupted. The bile containing conjugated bilirubin remains in the liver instead of being excreted.

symptoms of jaundice

Most common symptoms is yellowish in skin,and sclerae.Some of other symptoms includ

• Pruritis (itchiness)
• Fatigue
• Abdominal pain - typically indicates a blockage of the bile duct.
• Weight loss
• Vomiting
• Fever
• Paler than usual stools
• 
  
  Dark urine

Diagnosis of jaundice

Diagnosis of jaundice is depends upon the attention of abdomen. Doctors will be feeling for masses (tumors) in the abdomen and checking the firmnes of the liver; a firm liver indicates cirrhosis, while a rock-hard liver indicates cancer.

The severity of jaundice is determined by liver function test.
If the cause of your symptoms cannot be identified, your doctor may require blood tests to check levels of bilirubin and evaluate the composition of the blood. Some of these tests include:

• Bilirubin tests - a high level of unconjugated bilirubin relative to levels of conjugated bilirubin indicate hemolysis (accelerated break down of erythrocytes) 

• Full blood count (FBC), or complete blood count (CBC) - measures levels of erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets).
• Hepatitis A, B, and C tests
  

If an obstruction of the liver is suspected, the liver's structure will be looked at with the help of imaging tests. Some of these tests include:

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - uses magnetic signals to create image "slices" of the soft tissues of the human body. MRIs can also be manipulated in such a way that the cause and location of a bile duct obstruction can be identified.
• Abdominal ultrasonography (ultrasound) - uses high frequency sound waves to create a two-dimensional image of the soft tissues inside the human body. It is especially useful in identifying gallstones, although tumors and dilated bile ducts may also show.
• Computerized tomography (CT) scan, or computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan - uses a thin X-ray beam to create image "slices" of soft tissues in the body. It is especially useful in identifying tumors and dilated bile ducts.

A liver biopsy is particularly useful in checking for inflammation, cirrhosis, cancer, and fatty liver. This test involves injecting a needle through the skin and into the liver to obtain a sample of the tissue, which is examined under a microscope.

 Treatment for jaundice 

Anemia-induced jaundice may be treated by increasing the amount of iron in the blood; either by taking iron-supplements or eating more iron-rich foods.
Hepatitis-induced jaundice may be treated with anti-viral or steroid medications.
Obstruction-induced jaundice may be treated via surgery to remove the obstruction.
Medication-induced jaundice is treated by selecting an alternative medication and by discontinuing medications that caused jaundice.

Prevention of jaundice

Jaundice is related to the function of the liver, so it is essential that you maintain this vital organ's health by eating a balanced diet, exercising at least 30 minutes five times a week, and refraining from exceeding recommended amounts of alcohol.

Kidney stone part 1

 Kidney stones

Kidney stones usually comprised of a compound called calcium oxalate, are the result of an accumulation of dissolved minerals on the inner lining of the kidneys. These deposits can grow to the size of a golf ball while maintaining a sharp, crystalline structure.
Kidney stones that remain inside the body can lead to many conditions, including severe pain and ureter (the tube connecting the kidney and bladder) blockage that obstructs the path urine uses to leave the body.

 causes of kidney stones

The main reason of kidney stones is a lack of water. Every indiviual should drink eight to ten glass of waer per day. In sufficient water is reae he problem in the result of rising the pH level in the kidney is drop and become acidic. An excessively acidic environment in the kidneys is conducive to the formation of kidney stones.

Medical conditions such as renal tubular acidosis, hyperparathyroidism, medullary sponge kidney, and Dent's disease have been known to lead to kidney stones. It also has been suggested that water fluoridation - the addition of fluoride to drinking water - is responsible for some cases of kidney stones.

Certain medications can increase the risks of developing kidney stones. Scientists found that opiramate (Topamax), a drug commonly prescribed to treat seizures and migraine headaches, can increase the propensity of calcium phosphate kidney stone. Overweight is ormed he uric acid stones.

High in protein and sodium but low in calcium content food, obesity, high blood pressure, and conditions that affect how calcium is absorbed in the body such as gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic diarrhea.

symptoms of kidney stones

A kidney stone usually remains symptomless until it moves into the ureter.

• Severe pain in the groin and/or side
  
• Blood in urine
  
• Vomiting and nausea
  
• White blood cells or pus in the urine
  
• Reduced amount of urine excreted
  
• Burning sensation during urination
  
• Persistent urge to urinate
  
• Fever and chills if there is an infection
  

Diagnosis

A physical examination of the kidney stones is colicky pain (in the groin) and pain in the lower back by the kidneys. An analysis of the urine will indicate whether or not there is blood in the urine and if there is a subsequent infection. Blood tests can be done to identify complications that may accompany a kidney stone and check the validity of the diagnosis.

A CT scan of the abdomen is the most thorough way to test for kidney stones. A CT scan will conform the state of the ureter, bladder, and kidneys, whether or not a stone exists, the kidney stone's exact size and location, whether or not a blockage exists, and the state of the other adjacent organs such as the appendix, aorta, and pancreas. Pregnant women may receive an ultrasound rather than a CT scan in order to avoid unnecessary radiation

Prevention

Preventing kidney stones can be very easy as staying hydrated.for beter healh. Diluting the urine with water keeps the minerals from concentrating and forming stones. When one's urine is clear, rather than yellow colored, the chance of stone formation is reduced. Doctors may also prescribe medicines to prevent certain types of stones for individuals who are at higher risk.

Glass of orange juice can help to prevent the recurrence of kidney stones better than other citrus fruit juices such as lemonade.

Diabetes

Diabetes

Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, is the person have high blood glucose level either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).

     Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers what we take breakdown into glucose.Glucose is the form of sugar.The sugar is added to the blood stream and give energy to the body .
    When our food is digested, the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.
    Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, as soon as glucose enters the cells blood-glucose levels drop.A person with diabettes have blood sugar level is too low is called hyperglycemea.

Types of diabetes

Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Gestational diabetes

Type 1 diabetes

In this condition insulin is not produced by pancreas in the patient.Patient should take insulin injection rest of their life and following a heealthy diet.

Type 2 diabetes

In this condition enough insulin not produce by pancreas for regular action.Patient conrol this type by reduce their weight,healthy diet,and check blood glucose level properly.Patient take insulin in the tablet form .Men whose testosterone levels are low have been found to have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Gestational diabetes

This type affect women during pregnency. Some women have very high levels of glucose in their blood, and their bodies are unable to produce enough insulin to transport all of the glucose into their cells, resulting in progressively rising levels of glucose .Undiagnosed or uncontrolled gestational diabetes can raise the risk of complications during childbirth. The baby may be bigger than he/she should be.

Diagnosis.

Diabetes is determind by three following tests.They are,
The A1C test
The OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test)
The FPG (fasting plasma glucose) test

Treatment for diabetes

Diabetes type 1 lasts a lifetime, there is no known cure. Type 2 usually lasts a lifetime, however, some people have managed, through a lot of exercise, diet and excellent body weight control to get rid of their symptoms without medication
Patients with type 1 are treated with regular insulin injections, as well as a special diet and exercise.
Patients with Type 2 diabetes are usually treated with tablets, exercise and a special diet, but sometimes insulin injections are also required.

Diabetes Spreads In Southeast Asia

Diabetes is rapidly spreading in Southeast Asia as people embrace American fast foods, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and pizza. More Chinese adults who live in Singapore are dying of heart disease and developing type 2 diabetes than ever before.

The authors found that Chinese adults in Singapore who eat American-style junk foods twice a week had a 56% greater risk of dying prematurely form heart disease, while their risk of developing type 2 diabetes rose 27%, compared to their counterparts who "never touched the stuff". There was a 80% higher likelihood of dying from coronary heart disease for those eating fast foods four times per week.
