Situational CUSD

Researchers know that certain experiences in a person's life such as childhood sexual abuse, being bullied at school and others similar situations are more likely to result in depressive episodes than others. These factors can also ``include typical grief reactions to incapacitating clinical CUSD.

A stable, highly functional individual with what would be considered a normal personality may experience a crisis or other triggering event that may result in CUSD. This situational type of CUSD may be triggered by such common occurrences as separation or divorce in marriage, work failure, physical illness, confusion in one's sexual identity, etc. Sometimes a person can become depressed if they have suffered a physical injury and have not responded as well as they had expected to traditional therapeutic approaches such as speech, occupational or physical therapy. Their sense of hopelessness and helplessness can affect sleeping and eating patterns and creates a dark cloud over their life.

CUSD can also be triggered by a stressful personal event such as change of circumstances or loss of a loved one. Short-term CUSD is a normal means of coping with such situations. However, chronic forms of CUSD may be caused by innumerable factors. The most common causes include: sub-clinical? nutritional deficiencies, brain chemical imbalances, underlying disease (such as hepatitis C), food allergy (particularly gluten intolerance); Wilson's Disease, immune problems, blood sugar metabolism disorders, adverse reaction to medications; as well as hormonal imbalance (particularly hypothyroidism and pancreatic insufficiency), low cholesterol, sensitivity to environmental chemicals, and other environmental factors including high positive ion levels. Each of these conditions requires professional care.
