Diagnosis is
a tool that the doctor uses when he
or she has to find out which disease
you are suffering from. If you for
example present with some symptoms
that could be indicative of depression,
the doctor will on the basis of your
symptoms and his or her own examinations
make a diagnosis which is used to
find the answers to the following
questions:
- Do you suffer
from depression or not?
- If the answer
is yes, what type of
depression – mild, moderate
or severe?
- Are you suffering
from anything else - physical
disease, anxiety, abuse, psychosis?
- What will the
course of the disease be - is
there any risk of suicide? Depression
always needs to be treated! Do
you perhaps need to be admitted?
- Which treatment
is the best in this case - medicine
and/or psychotherapy? Or electroshock?
- Which complications
can occur - for example side-effects
and/or abuse?
- Can relapses
and new depressions be prevented
- do you need to take preventive
medicine for a long time??
Diagnoses
are also a prerequisite for being
able to do research and obtain new
knowledge. By using diagnoses we can
compare a group of patients with another
group of patients and see which one
of the treatments is the best. By
following patients who have the same
diagnosis we obtain new knowledge
about
- the cause of
the disease
- the course of
the disease
- possible complications
- which treatment
is the best
- how the disease
can be prevented
