"Big Brother" ex-Kazem Khaliliya has disappeared from social media in recent weeks, and now he bravely reveals the depression he suffers from and his dealings with the questions of those who meet him on the street.
In a post he uploaded to his Instagram page yesterday (Sunday), Kazem shared tears: "Whoever sees me outside, please let me go. I am diagnosed with dysthymia. Dysthymia is a depressive illness. In Hebrew it is called "the quiet depression". , I'm not with them. I remember one of my friends, while we're sitting in a restaurant, texting me 'what's up with you' and 'why are you a snob?'
And I tell myself, I'm not a snob, I just have depression."
"At first I thought it was possible to treat it alone and leave it to myself and I said 'well it will pass', but it really won't. I have a heart disease and I take a pill every day, I live with it and I will live with it, but the soul has no pill. I really feel I'm tired, I've lost the desire for everything, I've lost a lot of weight," Khaliliya continued in the collaboration and told what made him shoot the video: "I'm not making this video so that you feel sorry for me, I'm making this video to tell you that there are people who are depressed and you need to contain them. Stop it to ask them personal questions. I'm sure that the intention of people outside who see me is a good intention with the questions of 'Kazm where did you go?', 'Kazm why didn't you do it?', but then I have to deal with your questions at home."

What is dysthymia?
"Besides the major depression that we all know, there is another type of depression, which has become a more common phenomenon than ever before and has been given the unofficial name - high-functioning depression," Lavala previously explained!
Itamar Pascal, clinical psychologist and director of the Tel Aviv Institute of Psychotherapy.
But for years they live with the feeling that they are doing all this on the last gas fumes."
Nothing succeeds in recharging those suffering from high-functioning depression emotionally and physically. Not professional successes, not family or relationship vacations. They do not find rest or satisfaction and they feel frustrated and lack energy. All the time. To an outside observer, their life looks perfectly fine, maybe even desirable. But they themselves constantly feel frustrated, depressed and exhausted from their lives.
In the professional literature, the DSM, it is called dysthymia, and in order to be diagnosed with it, you must accompany the sufferer for about two years. Most The people who suffer from dysthymia live with a feeling that something in their life is stuck, they describe the feeling that for years their life looks great on the outside but they themselves continue with the strength of routine. The motivations and dreams that once motivated them have disappeared, and have been replaced by a feeling of frustration."

How is dysthymia diagnosed?
"In order to diagnose dysthymia, several conditions must be met," says Pesak.
"First, the patient must not answer the diagnosis of major depression. Second, the period of depression must last for at least two years. The problem with diagnosing mild depression is that most people do not know exactly when this feeling began for them. They come for treatment after a crisis or a turning point, but You don't always know how to chart the path that led them there over months and years.
High-functioning depression can happen in adults, in teenagers, and even in children. According to a study by the Harvard University School of Public Health, the average length of time that this depression lasts in teenagers is About two years, while for adults, the average is over 5 years."

What are the treatment options?
"There are several treatment options for high-functioning depression, depending on the patient's preferences, the presence of additional co-morbidities (such as anxiety, OCD, etc.), and the patient's health status. This depression can be treated with medication for depression (drugs such as ciprofloxacin and the like) given by a specialist psychiatrist in an appropriate dose," explains Pascal.
"For those who prefer to avoid drug treatment, there is the option of CBT treatment, which has been proven to be an effective treatment for depression, as it helps to change frustrating thoughts (for example, eliminating self-criticism) and to change the modes of response. Another popular option is psychotherapy, in which the patient tries to get to the root of the depression and understand why He is caused. He resolves his internal conflicts and achieves his peace of mind through the psychological treatment."
