Risking Existence: The Experience and Handling of Depression

Sammendrag

Despite considerable research into depression, we know little about how people experience and overcome depression, and there is limited research on the existential significances of a depression. This study examines the complexities of being and managing life when suffering from depression. Twelve participants, both inpatients and outpatients at two mental hospitals in Norway, and six persons who have recovered from depression, were recruited through healthcare workers. The participants were interviewed individually and the interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Data were analyzed through constant comparison in accordance with classical grounded theory method. An existential resonance was evident through-out the data material and The grounded theory of Risking Existence with four phases emerged: 1) Ungraspable processing, 2) Giving clues, 3) Daring dependence and 4) Courage to be. This study provides insight into peoples experience with depression by enabling us to better recognize the process depressed people go through and the existential meanings that often remains elusive
