Depression causes huge mental discomfort to people. This can lead different people to different circumstances ranging from normal to severe terrifying ones. Agitated depression leads a person suffering from severe anxiety and irritability. The patients suffer from a huge scale of restlessness which might influence them to take up some dangerous steps.

 

There are various dangers of this depression. A person gets driven by restlessness, irritability and motor excitement in this state. The restless feelings are caused by the racing thoughts that the patient has while going through this condition. Restlessness also leads the patient to have various hallucinations and illusions that directly affect his mental condition.

In the ordinary depression cases people slow own in a huge scale but in the case of agitated depression the result is just the opposite. Patients become very hyper and get uncontrollable in these cases.

The delusions and hallucinations are one of the most dangerous cases of this type of depression. They further worsen the patient’s mental condition. They get restless; irritation surrounds them and they also suffer from insomnia.

 They have the feeling of unworthy to exist in the world due to the separation they start having from the society. Their abrupt hyper behaviors create irritation in other people and slowly they start getting alienated from the society. This frustration further arouses in the form of suicidal feelings. Suicidal problem is the most dangerous aspect of agitated depression.

There is a huge risk of the patient opting for suicide in this kind of depression. The enormous anxious feelings, excessive mental burden as well as physical stress influences a person to search an easy way out to end all this suffering for which most of them opt for suicide. The thinking of self destruction as an easy way to end all the suffering is actually an illusion.

 The mental burden and physical stress can be buried off by expressing it with someone close, taking medical advices, seeking medications and opting for healthy exercises and meditation. The family of the patient shouldn’t ignore the person rather should always be sure that the person is attaining required medications as well as having required support from the family.

The suicidal thought can be erased off through required medication, care and support. The frustrations in a person will only go by expressing the pain to the closed ones. Support from the closed ones and therapeutic counseling is the best option to get out of the dangers that agitated depression can cause.
