Language betrays depression:'Depressive sprechen anders'. Menschen mit einer Depression konnen mutlos und traurig sein. Das spiegelt sich in ihren Formulierungen wider. (Quelle: Getty Images/ Vladimir Vladimirov)

Depression does not only affect the behavior of the sufferer. Language can also provide valuable clues about the illness. Relatives should listen especially carefully to these phrases.

Overview

In 2018, a team of researchers from the University of Reading in the United Kingdom used computer analysis to examine the linguistic differences between people with depression and those without.

SSD installation resp. Exchange in the notebook – this is how it works

Solid-State Disks (SSD) are hard to come by. Although you still pay significantly more per gigabyte than for a hard disk drive (HDD), the speed advantages are enormous and turn every laptop into a speedy work device. We explain what is important when switching from HDD to SSD and what you should consider in the process.

SSD vs. HDD and SSHD – you can’t get any faster

SSDs are currently the fastest mass storage devices on the market. A laptop or desktop PC with an SSD not only boots the operating system much faster than with an HDD, but also increases the computer’s work speed at the same time. Why? Because the access times to data are much shorter with an SSD. Programs, music or videos can be opened faster. Even older devices can benefit from a speed advantage. Many an old computer becomes a fast everyday companion again.

Mass storage Average read and write speeds Access times
HDD 100 MB/s 10-12 milliseconds
Hybrid hard drive 100 MB/s 2.2 to 5 milliseconds
SSD 500 MB/s read | 250 MB/s write 0.1 to 0.5 milliseconds

(The data are average values and can differ depending on the model)

Trigger warning: This text is also about suicide.

If the partner is depressed, love is not always easy. Often the relationship is overshadowed by anger, sadness, despair, but also feelings of guilt. What can a relationship withstand? How to help the person with depression? And where should relatives draw their own boundaries? Gabriele Pitschel-Walz, senior psychologist at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Technical University of Munich, explains this in a telephone interview.

The contraceptive pill is the number 1 contraceptive and, with a Pearl index of 0.1 to 0.9, is considered a very safe method of contraception. In terms of safety, it ranks ahead of condoms and IUDs, provided that it is used correctly.

An unwanted pregnancy despite taking the pill is quite possible, although it is usually due to application errors. By taking the pill very conscientiously, pregnancy can almost always be avoided. However, in the case of any miscarriage, there are several ways to maintain protection.

The morning-after pill may be a way to prevent pregnancy in the event of a pill breakdown.
