Nk’uko bitangazwa na Dr. Yvonne Kayiteshonga, ufite indwara y’agahinda gakabije agira ibimenyetso birimo kwigunga, kugira umubabaro n’amarira menshi, ibintu yari asanzwe akunda n’ibyamushimishaga arabizinukwa, acika intege zo gukora akazi yari asanzwemo bikaba byitwa indwara iyo ibyo bimenyetso abimaranye ibyumweru bibiri.
Agahinda gakabije ni indwara yo mu mutwe ishobora guterwa n’ikintu kibabaje nko gupfusha, guhohoterwa ku kazi, kutabana neza n’umuryango, n’ibindi bigoye kwihanganirwa

Nk’uko Dr. Kayiteshonga akomeza abisobanura, indwara umuntu akunda kubana na zo igihe kirekire nka diyabete, umuvuduko w’amaraso, Virusi itera Sida n’izindi’ ziri mu bikurura indwara y’agahinda gakabije bitewe no kuba zituma umuntu ahindura uburyo bw’imibereho nk’imirire, gufata imiti igihe kitari gito n’ibindi.
Gufata ibiyobyabwenge cyangwa inzoga mu buryo bwangiza ubuzima umuntu akaba imbata yabyo na byo bishobora gutera indwara ya “depression”, kwiyahura ika ari imwe mu ngaruka zayo.
Nibura 90% by’abiyahura ku Isi baba bafite indwara zo mu mutwe; muri bo 60% baba bafite Depression. Nubwo bimeze bityo ariko iyi ndwara iravurwa igakira nk’uko Dr. Kayiteshonga abisobanura.

Ikibi ni uko iyo yihebye aba yumva kubaho ntacyo bimaze, atari we ufata icyemezo cyo kujya kwa muganga bisaba ko abamuri hafi bamufasha.”
Mu kuvura iyi ndwara hifashishwa imiti yabugenewe n’ubujyanama bufasha uyirwaye gusohora ibitekerezo bibi, akumva ko ibibazo ari rusange mu bantu, atari we wenyine bigeraho, afite agaciro mu muryango we ikaba ari yo mpamvu aba akeneye umutega amatwi.
Mu rwego rwo kwirinda depression, ni ngombwa gukora Siporo ituma umubiri ukora umusemburo uyirinda. Ni byiza kandi kugira ubuzima burangwa n’ibikorwa bitandukanye umuntu akagira umwanya wo gukora, kuruhuka, gusenga, kubana n’abo mu muryango we aho guhugira mu bintu bimwe nk’uko Dr. Kayiteshonga abitangamo inama.
