Depression :- Symptoms and Treatment
A prolonged sense of melancholy and a loss of interest in things and activities you used to enjoy are symptoms of the mood disorder depression. It may also make it difficult to eat, sleep, remember things, or think clearly. It's acceptable to experience sadness or mourning about trying circumstances in life, including losing your job or getting divorced. However, depression differs in that it contains more symptoms than just sorrow and lasts almost every day for at least two weeks. Depressive disorders come in various forms. Major depressive illness, often known as clinical depression, is sometimes referred to as "depression." This kind of despair is the worst. In the absence of therapy, depression may worsen and persist longer. In extreme circumstances, it may result in suicide or self-harm.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
