Psychogenic depression

Psychogenic depression is a state when a person can't get pleasure from anything because of the psychological trauma. Psychogenic depression is the result of traumatic situations. The most common form of psychogenic depression is frustration, i.e. an affective state, which is a response to an insurmountable obstacle to getting satisfaction.

Psychogenic depression is a traumatic fixation, when the desire to get something impossible is very strong. Because the implementation of our wish is impossible, other needs are ignored by us and we pay no attention to other ones and everything else loses any meaning for us. And then we are completely deprived of any pleasure. The image of a hopelessly enamoured person, who has lost normal sleep and appetite, is familiar to everybody. Nothing in this life can please him/her.

When we experience psychogenic depression we are not able to feel any pleasure, because we are fixed on unimplemented demands. And then we have a temptation to use some chemical to cheer up because natural ways of getting pleasure are currently unavailable.

Chemicals are the simplest and most affordable way to avoid mental suffering.

And among these substances the most popular are antidepressants and particularly alcohol, it is available without a prescription.

Alcohol has a direct impact. It influences on the brain directly through the blood, stimulating the formulation endorphins. Alcohol acts as a tranquilizer and antidepressant at the same time, that is if we have all necessary factors for the elimination of depressive states.
