(Adnkronos) - “Si parla troppo poco di depressione, bisogna abbattere questo muro. La depressione non è la malattia delle persone deboli, siamo tutti esposti alla depressione”. Così Andrea Fiorillo, professore ordinario di Psichiatria presso l’università della Campania L. Vanvitelli e presidente della European psychiatric association, intervenendo alla presentazione della campagna di sensibilizzazione "Out of the maze – Oltre il labirinto della depressione", promossa da Johnson & Johnson, con il patrocinio di Fondazione progetto Itaca Ets e di Cittadinanzattiva Aps.

00:00What is major depression?
00:04For major depression, we mean a systemic disease,
00:07a multi-organ disease that can affect all organs of the human body
00:12and is determined by several factors, genetic, environmental, biological, psychological.
00:18The basic temperament of the person who can develop depression is also important.
00:24The topic of depression also concerns some groups,
00:28young people, there is a topic in which depression is often attributed to other causes,
00:33so both medical and psychological, a bad emotional relationship,
00:38a school difficulty, a quarrel with friends.
00:42This is, let's say, wrongly attributed instead of giving the real responsibility to depression.
00:49This often also concerns the relatives who,
00:52until the marked, evident symptoms of risk appear,
00:56do not attribute the symptoms to depression.
01:00Then there is the issue of going elsewhere,
01:02it is preferred to go to the basic doctor,
01:04it is preferred to go to the neurologist in many contexts,
01:07to go to the psychologist instead of going to the psychiatrist.
01:10The psychiatrist is the right person to make a diagnosis and set up the therapy,
01:15which can then be done by the various professional figures involved,
01:18clearly the psychotherapist, the psychiatric rehabilitation technician
01:23and the other figures who can help.
