Edited at 2023-10-24 11:25:12El cáncer de pulmón es un tumor maligno que se origina en la mucosa bronquial o las glándulas de los pulmones. Es uno de los tumores malignos con mayor morbilidad y mortalidad y mayor amenaza para la salud y la vida humana.
La diabetes es una enfermedad crónica con hiperglucemia como signo principal. Es causada principalmente por una disminución en la secreción de insulina causada por una disfunción de las células de los islotes pancreáticos, o porque el cuerpo es insensible a la acción de la insulina (es decir, resistencia a la insulina), o ambas cosas. la glucosa en la sangre es ineficaz para ser utilizada y almacenada.
El sistema digestivo es uno de los nueve sistemas principales del cuerpo humano y es el principal responsable de la ingesta, digestión, absorción y excreción de los alimentos. Consta de dos partes principales: el tracto digestivo y las glándulas digestivas.

depression definition stages
depression definition
Depression is a common mental illness
The severity of depression can be divided into mild, moderate and severe
Mainly manifested by persistent depression, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep disturbance and other symptoms
People with mild depression may have only some symptoms, while people with severe depression may not be able to live a normal life
causes of depression
The cause of depression is not fully understood
May be related to genetic, environmental, psychological and social factors
Depression can be divided into three stages: acute stage, consolidation stage and maintenance stage
The acute phase refers to the initial stage of depression and requires treatment as soon as possible
The consolidation period means that after the symptoms of depression are under control, treatment needs to be continued to consolidate the effects.
The maintenance period means that after depression symptoms are relieved, treatment needs to be continued to prevent recurrence;
