La Settimana nazionale di sensibilizzazione al dolore si tiene dal 2 dicembre all'8 dicembre per aumentare la consapevolezza e sostenere coloro che stanno attraversando perdite personali.<\/p>\n

Molte volte, le persone desiderano sinceramente aiutare qualcuno che soffre, ma la mancanza di conoscenza del processo e l\u2019incertezza su come comunicare in modo efficace possono trattenerle dall\u2019offrire supporto. Questa settimana, raccogliamo dagli esperti alcuni preziosi spunti su come aiutare qualcuno che sta soffrendo.<\/p>\n

Jessica Eiseman, consulente certificata e proprietaria\/direttrice clinica di Ajana Therapy and Clinical Services a Houston, in Texas, definisce il dolore come un ottovolante di emozioni vissute da qualcuno dopo aver perso qualcosa o qualcuno di importante.<\/p>\n

Secondo Eiseman, \u00e8 un'esperienza del tutto normale che porta una persona attraverso fasi di negazione, rabbia, contrattazione, depressione e accettazione.<\/p>\n

\u201cIl lutto \u00e8 intensamente personale e nessuno dovrebbe determinare cosa \u00e8 'degno di dolore' per un altro. Ci sono anche molti strati sottostanti di dolore. \u00c8 anche importante notare che il dolore non \u00e8 un processo lineare. Possiamo pensarlo come onde che vanno e vengono. Non esistono due persone che soffriranno allo stesso modo, e il calendario di guarigione di ciascuna persona sar\u00e0 diverso", ha detto Eiseman Quotidiano medico. <\/em><\/p>\n

Fattori che influenzano il lutto<\/strong><\/p>\n

La risposta di una persona alla morte di un individuo pu\u00f2 essere influenzata da molti fattori fattori<\/a>, compresa l'et\u00e0 della persona in lutto, la relazione con la persona deceduta, la causa della morte, il background culturale e i sistemi di credenze. Anche la situazione finanziaria, la salute e l'entit\u00e0 del sostegno da parte della famiglia, degli amici e della comunit\u00e0 di un individuo possono influenzare la risposta.<\/p>\n

In che modo il dolore \u00e8 diverso dalla depressione?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Secondo Jessica Rabon, una psicologa autorizzata della Carolina del Sud, dolore e depressione<\/a> pu\u00f2 essere difficile da differenziare a causa di alcuni sintomi sovrapposti come estrema tristezza, difficolt\u00e0 di sonno, perdita di appetito e irritabilit\u00e0 o rabbia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIl dolore \u00e8 la risposta emotiva che si prova dopo una perdita significativa. Sebbene la depressione possa derivare anche da una perdita, molto spesso viene concettualizzata come derivante da una combinazione di fattori biologici, psicologici e sociali. Nel dolore, il dolore emotivo sperimentato tipicamente circonda il desiderio per la perdita, la preoccupazione per la perdita, l\u2019evitamento dei ricordi della perdita e un potenziale intorpidimento emotivo\u201d, ha detto Rabon. Quotidiano medico<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sebbene i sintomi esteriori possano assomigliarsi, la causa sottostante sar\u00e0 diversa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIl dolore generalmente diminuisce con il tempo o arriva a ondate, come quando la persona in lutto si trova ad affrontare ricordi della perdita; tuttavia, la depressione tende ad essere pi\u00f9 pervasiva e costante nel tempo\u201d, ha aggiunto Rabon.<\/p>\n

Un modo per distinguere tra dolore e depressione \u00e8 che il dolore \u00e8 legato a una causa specifica e in genere diminuisce nel tempo, mentre la depressione tende a persistere senza una ragione chiara, ha detto Eiseman.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa depressione spesso provoca letargia emotiva prolungata, difficolt\u00e0 di concentrazione, interruzioni del sonno e dell\u2019appetito e un disinteresse pervasivo per le attivit\u00e0 che a qualcuno piacevano. Quando \u00e8 grave, possono accompagnarsi pensieri suicidi. A differenza del dolore, la depressione non ha sempre una causa specifica e identificabile, rispetto alla natura pi\u00f9 chiaramente definita del dolore. La depressione non \u00e8 solo un caso di blues. \u00c8 un abbassamento dell'umore pi\u00f9 prolungato e intenso che pu\u00f2 avere un impatto sulla qualit\u00e0 della vita di una persona", ha spiegato.<\/p>\n

Come sostenere una persona in lutto<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c8 importante notare che il lutto \u00e8 un'esperienza altamente personale. Ci\u00f2 che una persona vuole sentire o non sentire mentre soffre pu\u00f2 essere individualizzato.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuando ti presenti a qualcuno che sta soffrendo, va bene non avere le parole per esprimerglielo, a volte essere presente \u00e8 pi\u00f9 vantaggioso che parlare. Per quanto riguarda gli argomenti di cui non parlare, ancora una volta si tratta di argomenti altamente individualizzati; tuttavia, ci sono spesso cose da "non dire" alle persone che stanno soffrendo, come "So esattamente cosa stai attraversando", "Sii forte" o "Sono in un posto migliore". Sebbene tutte queste cose siano dette con buone intenzioni, possono invalidare la persona che sta soffrendo o minimizzare le emozioni travolgenti che sta vivendo\u201d, ha detto Rabon.<\/p>\n

Anche se non sei sicuro di come parlare, a volte essere presente per la persona in lutto potrebbe essere sufficiente. Riconoscere la perdita di una persona e conversare con lei senza reprimere le sue emozioni dovrebbe essere la chiave.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuando le persone soffrono, tendono a ritirarsi e a isolarsi, quindi pu\u00f2 essere utile invitare la persona amata ad attivit\u00e0 che le piaceranno, sapendo che potrebbe non venire. Un altro modo per sostenere la persona potrebbe essere quello di aiutarla con compiti tangibili. Quando le persone soffrono, lo sforzo e l'energia per compiti come cucinare, pulire o fare commissioni spesso diminuiscono, quindi offrire di fare qualcosa di tangibile per loro pu\u00f2 essere utile. Inoltre, invitare la persona a parlare della perdita, condividere storie e persino condividere i propri ricordi (supponendo che il dolore riguardi la perdita di una persona cara) pu\u00f2 essere utile\u201d, ha spiegato Rabon.<\/p>\n

Se qualcuno che attraversa un lutto ha bisogno di ulteriore supporto, pu\u00f2 essere utile ottenere un aiuto professionale attraverso la psicoterapia e i gruppi di sostegno al dolore. In alcuni casi, quando i sintomi del dolore interrompono il normale funzionamento di una persona, gli operatori sanitari possono prescrivere antidepressivi.<\/p>\n

Se tu o qualcuno che conosci siete in difficolt\u00e0 o in crisi, l'aiuto \u00e8 disponibile. Chiama o invia un messaggio al 988 o chatta <\/em>su 988lifeline.org<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week, let's get some valuable insights from experts on how to help someone who is grieving.Jessica Eiseman, a certified counselor and owner\/clinical director of Ajana Therapy and Clinical Services in Houston, Texas, defines grief as a rollercoaster of emotions experienced by someone after losing something or someone important.According to Eiseman, it is a completely normal experience that takes a person through stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance."Grieving is intensely personal, and no one should determine what is 'grief-worthy' for another. There are also many underlying layers of grief. It is also important to note that grief is not a linear process. We can think of it as waves that come and go. No two people will grieve the same way, and each person's timetable for healing will differ," Eiseman told Medical Daily. Factors that influence grievingA person's response to an individual's death may be affected by many factors, including the age of the person grieving, relationship with the person who has died, cause of death, cultural background and belief systems. An individual's financial situation, health, and extent of support from family, friends and community can also affect the response.How is grief different from depression?According to Jessica Rabon, a licensed psychologist from South Carolina, grief and depression may be difficult to differentiate because of certain overlapping symptoms such as extreme sadness, sleep difficulties, loss of appetite and irritability or anger."Grief is the emotional response one experiences after a significant loss. Although depression may also arise from a loss, depression most often is conceptualized as arising from a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. With grief, the emotional pain experienced typically surrounds yearning for the loss, preoccupation with the loss, avoidance of reminders of the loss, and potentially emotional numbness," Rabon told Medical Daily.Although outward symptoms might look alike, the underlying cause will be different."Grief generally decreases with time or comes in waves, such as when the grieving person is faced with reminders of the loss; however, depression tends to be more pervasive and consistent over time," Rabon added.One way to distinguish between grief and depression is that grief is linked to a specific cause and typically lessens over time, while depression tends to linger without a clear reason, Eiseman said."Depression often causes sustained emotional lethargy, difficulty concentrating, disruptions in sleep and appetite patterns, and a pervasive disinterest in activities someone used to enjoy. When it is severe, suicidal thoughts can accompany it. Unlike grief, depression does not always have a specific, identifiable cause, compared to the more clearly defined nature of grief. Depression is not just a case of the blues. It's a more prolonged and intense low mood that can impact a person's quality of life," she explained.How to support a grieving personIt's important to note that grieving is a highly personal experience. What a person wants to hear or not hear while grieving may be individualized."When you are showing up for someone who is grieving, it is okay not to have the words and express that to them, sometimes being present is more beneficial than talking. As for topics not to talk about, once again that is highly individualized; however, there are often things 'not to say' to individuals who are grieving such as 'I know exactly what you are going through,' 'Just be strong,' or 'They're in a better place.' Although all these things are said with good intentions, they can be invalidating to the person who is grieving or minimize the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing," Rabon said.Even if you are unsure how to talk, sometimes being there for the grieving person might be enough. Acknowledging a person's loss and having a conversation with them without putting down their emotions should be the key."When people grieve, they tend to withdraw and isolate, thus, it can be helpful to invite your loved one to activities that they will enjoy, understanding they may not come. Another way to support the person may be to help with tangible tasks. When individuals grieve, effort and energy to tasks such as cooking, cleaning or running errands often declines, thus offering to do something tangible for them can be helpful. Further, inviting the person to talk about the loss, sharing stories and even sharing memories of your own (assuming the grief is around the loss of a loved one) can be helpful," Rabon explained.If someone who goes through grief needs additional support, getting professional help through psychotherapy and grief support groups can be beneficial. In some cases, when symptoms of grief disrupt a person's normal functioning, health professionals may prescribe antidepressants.If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

No two people will grieve the same way, and each person's timetable for healing will differ,\" Eiseman told Medical Daily. Factors that influence grievingA person's response to an individual's death may be affected by many factors, including the age of the person grieving, relationship with the person who has died, cause of death, cultural background and belief systems. An individual's financial situation, health, and extent of support from family, friends and community can also affect the response.How is grief different from depression?According to Jessica Rabon, a licensed psychologist from South Carolina, grief and depression may be difficult to differentiate because of certain overlapping symptoms such as extreme sadness, sleep difficulties, loss of appetite and irritability or anger.\"Grief is the emotional response one experiences after a significant loss. Although depression may also arise from a loss, depression most often is conceptualized as arising from a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. With grief, the emotional pain experienced typically surrounds yearning for the loss, preoccupation with the loss, avoidance of reminders of the loss, and potentially emotional numbness,\" Rabon told Medical Daily.Although outward symptoms might look alike, the underlying cause will be different.\"Grief generally decreases with time or comes in waves, such as when the grieving person is faced with reminders of the loss; however, depression tends to be more pervasive and consistent over time,\" Rabon added.One way to distinguish between grief and depression is that grief is linked to a specific cause and typically lessens over time, while depression tends to linger without a clear reason, Eiseman said.\"Depression often causes sustained emotional lethargy, difficulty concentrating, disruptions in sleep and appetite patterns, and a pervasive disinterest in activities someone used to enjoy. When it is severe, suicidal thoughts can accompany it. Unlike grief, depression does not always have a specific, identifiable cause, compared to the more clearly defined nature of grief. Depression is not just a case of the blues. It's a more prolonged and intense low mood that can impact a person's quality of life,\" she explained.How to support a grieving personIt's important to note that grieving is a highly personal experience. What a person wants to hear or not hear while grieving may be individualized.\"When you are showing up for someone who is grieving, it is okay not to have the words and express that to them, sometimes being present is more beneficial than talking. As for topics not to talk about, once again that is highly individualized; however, there are often things 'not to say' to individuals who are grieving such as 'I know exactly what you are going through,' 'Just be strong,' or 'They're in a better place.' Although all these things are said with good intentions, they can be invalidating to the person who is grieving or minimize the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing,\" Rabon said.Even if you are unsure how to talk, sometimes being there for the grieving person might be enough. Acknowledging a person's loss and having a conversation with them without putting down their emotions should be the key.\"When people grieve, they tend to withdraw and isolate, thus, it can be helpful to invite your loved one to activities that they will enjoy, understanding they may not come. Another way to support the person may be to help with tangible tasks. When individuals grieve, effort and energy to tasks such as cooking, cleaning or running errands often declines, thus offering to do something tangible for them can be helpful. Further, inviting the person to talk about the loss, sharing stories and even sharing memories of your own (assuming the grief is around the loss of a loved one) can be helpful,\" Rabon explained.If someone who goes through grief needs additional support, getting professional help through psychotherapy and grief support groups can be beneficial. In some cases, when symptoms of grief disrupt a person's normal functioning, health professionals may prescribe antidepressants.If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
