Childhood events like abuse or neglect
Death of a friend or relative

Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism ,cancer, or hepatitis
Nutritional deficiencies
Overly negative thoughts about one's self and life, self blame, and ineffective social problem solving skills

Sleeping problems
Social isolation (common in the elderly)

Self care steps are

Get enough sleep.

Exercise regularly.
Avoid alcohol, marijuana, and other recreational drugs.
Get involved in activities that make you happy, even if you don't feel like it.
Spend time with family and friends.
Try talking to clergy or spiritual advisers who may help give meaning to painful experiences.
Consider prayer, meditation

Conclusion

Top Five Pregnancy Symptoms

Top Five Pregnancy Symptoms

If you have any of these pregnancy symptoms, be sure to take an at home test. If it is positive, it is important that a mother-to-be receive prenatal care early in pregnancy.

Missed Menstrual Period

A missed cycle can be a sign of pregnancy . It is usually the first indicator that conception has occurred, although some women claim to know they are pregnant before they miss a period.

Fatigue

Extreme fatigue can be another indicator of pregnancy, especially if other symptoms are present

Tender Breasts

Tender swollen breasts are another early symptom. While tender breasts are a symptom of an impending cycle, enlarged breasts are not. Sore and swollen breasts with a tingling sensation can be an early indicator of pregnancy.

Nausea and Morning Sickness

Nausea can be a sign that a woman is pregnant. Many women say that they've had nausea up to two weeks before an expected monthly cycle and before any other symptom. Eating crackers before getting out of the bed in the morning can help and eating several smaller meals instead of larger ones can help with nausea.

Frequent Urination

An increased urge to urinate can be an indicator and usually occurs between 6 to 8 weeks out.
