Task 2 caus of depression
Hello, everyone. Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the caus of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some derve special attention.says
Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidendeepocean
ce that this disorder may run in families.
Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increa levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increa brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.
Rearchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently obrved that low lf-esteem and lf-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cau and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and lf-esteem.
Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and vere physical abu can increa the likelihood of depression later in life.
Some prent experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spou or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.
It is worth noting that tho living with someone suffering from depression experience incread anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depresd.

Task 3 happiness index
Australians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market rearchers. They conducted
door-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30 countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expresd optimism about their future. Following them in the "very happy" group was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and
Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "very unhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.
The rearch demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.
The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of tho in their 50s said they were very happy.
The factors that make us happy include good health, financial curity and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.
