Depressionen in Schleswig-Holstein: Frauen stark betroffen!

In Schleswig-Holstein, the frequency of depression is alarming. A 2022 -es AOK felmérés szerint körülbelül 318 000 ember, amely a lakosság 11,9 % -ának felel meg, ezen mentális betegség miatt orvosi kezelést kapott. AOK analyzes show that those affected have been recorded from the age of ten and that women are usually affected more often than men.

These numbers underline a worrying reality: depression increases in our society. Tom Ackermann, CEO of AOK Nordwest, explains that these diseases significantly affect the patient's life, but also that of their families. "Often patients are no longer able to pursue their everyday activities," says Ackermann.

regional differences and age factors

However, the distribution of the disease varies within the federal state. Például Észak -Fríz -kerületben a kezelt emberek aránya 10,6 százalék volt, míg Ostholstein kerületében ez az érték 13,6 százalékra nő. These regional differences raise questions regarding the underlying causes and require targeted intervention strategies.

factors that influence the frequency of depression are also the age and gender. It turns out that the disease rate increases with age. It is particularly alarming that more than every fifth woman and every seventh man aged 60 to 64 are affected by depression. However, there seems to be a slight decline for the 65- to 74-year-olds, which may indicate various socio-economic or health aspects. These findings are particularly important to develop targeted prevention measures.

Noha a Schleswig-Holstein az országos átlag 12,5 százalék alatt áll, a népesség 11,9 % -ával, az esetek növekedése riasztó. The AOK emphasizes that depression is an enormous challenge for the health system. An effective health system is essential to offer affected people the support they need. With regard to the increasing number of mental illnesses, it is important to optimally use the available resources.

In order to get a comprehensive insight into the topic, detailed reports and analyzes are essential. A regionális különbségekről és okaikról szóló információk elősegíthetik a betegség megértését és a depresszió leküzdéséhez szükséges intézkedések meghozatalát. This situation requires a public discussion about how to promote mental health in the population.

The acute challenges for health care and the need for prevention are clear. An overall social approach to combating depression could help improve the quality of life of those affected.
