    Depression is a serious mental and psychological illness that is unknown. May be related to genetic factors, psychosocial factors, and patient qualities. Depression has a high rate of ** and disability.

    The lifespan of a person with depression depends on the age at which the disease occurs, the severity of the condition, the outcome of the condition, and the presence or absence of serious physical illness. The average life expectancy of patients with depression is significantly lower than that of the general population, with an average of 50-70 years.

    The lifespan of depression is the same as that of a normal person, and depression itself does not damage any organs and systems of the human body, nor does it directly lead to death.

    However, if depression cannot be standardized and effective, the patient's symptoms will continue to worsen, and eventually a serious sense of inferiority and self-guilt will appear, thinking that his existence will affect his family, lose confidence in life, and may commit suicide, self-harm and other behaviors, resulting in the death of the patient. Therefore, once a depressed patient becomes ill, it is necessary to use antidepressants as soon as possible to control the onset or aggravation of the patient's symptoms and avoid accidents.

    If depression is treated in a timely and standardized manner, most people with depression will be able to recover their health and return to a normal state of life. In this case, his life expectancy should be close to that of the average person, at least at present, there is no strict data to prove that depression is shorter than the average person's life, of course, this is after depression**.

    However, if depression is not timely and effective, a persistent depressive state will still have a little impact on the health of the individual. This is also possible if some severe patients have strong suicidal ideation and eventually take action to cause suicide and die. Even if this is not the case, if chronic depression persists, the individual will develop other diseases, because the activity of his immune system, endocrine system, and other nervous systems will be in a relatively low state.

    In this state, the risk of other diseases in the body is greatly increased, which may affect the overall life span of the patient to a certain extent. As long as you are diagnosed with depression, it is the best way to recover your health by going to the doctor in time to cooperate with the doctor's instructions to accept the standard, and to achieve the best state as much as possible.

    The question of how long depressed patients can live is not good, but it is important to note that depressed patients often have suicidal ideation and even suicidal behavior, and 15% of depressed patients eventually die by suicide. The average life expectancy of a depressed patient may be lower than that of a normal person, and the main reason is that the depressed patient dies by suicide. For example, a patient who is young and is in adolescence suffers from depression and dies by suicide without being able to do so in time.

    Therefore, we must pay attention to the suicide situation of depression, and if a patient with depression has suicidal behavior and suicidal concepts, he must seek help from a professional institution, and a professional doctor will actively treat and deal with it, which will reduce the risk of suicide death for the patient.

    Depression is a disease with significant mood depression as the main clinical manifestation, and it is a very common clinical disease, known as the cold of the soul, that is, depression, which is very common and not very complicated, and is divided into mild, moderate and severe diseases. For mild and moderate patients, there is no damage to brain function, and the patient is unlikely to take the drug for life. For people with major depressive disorder, lifelong medication is required due to the development of an organic brain disorder.

    During the lifelong medication period, the patient's symptoms can be well controlled, and if it is combined with psychological ** and personal mentality adjustment, it generally does not affect the patient's personal lifespan. Therefore, the prognosis of patients with depression is very good, and they do not have to worry about their lives being threatened.
