Can anyone suggest alternative treatments for depression other than anti-depress!
Question: Can anyone suggest alternative treatments for depression other than anti-depression medication!?
Answers:
As simple as it may seem exercise can be key!. The endorphins sent to your brain help to produce chemicals that react to help make you feel better and happier!. Another way I found through some research I've done is through expressive writing or something like a journal!.!.!. it's been found that people who write down their daily thoughts and feelings help to reduce depressive thoughts and are overall healthier generally so what could it hurt!? Combine the two and you may find it to really help you out in many different ways!! Also just to add in make sure you are getting enough sleep!.!.!. when you are sleep deprived the emotional side of the brain seems to over activate and can cause many depressive and anxiety like symptoms!. Hope it helps and feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
The millepertuis plant!. (I am not sure of the English spelling)
This is proven to be a very effective alternative to medication taken by patients suffering from light or medium depression!.
It is sold in capsule form or dried and used as an infusion!.
Dosage is important :
You need to take
3 capsules a day - morning/lunch/right before going to sleep!.
OR
3 infusions a day - morning/lunch/just before going to sleep!.
Put 1 tablespoon of the dried herb into a cup of warm water, let it infuse 10 minutes, drain the leaves and drink the infusion!.
I don't know the importance of your condition so you may want to check with your doctor first!. Anyway, if you are on medication, never stop taking it without consulting your doctor first!.
Having a healthy life style helps also :
-a balanced diet,
-reducing caffeinated drinks e!.g!. coffee, colas, etc!.!.
-exercising e!.g!. walking, swimming
-relaxation and meditation techniques e!.g!. Qi Gong, sophrology, Reiki, Yoga
-lots of rest, of sleep whenever possible to recharge your batteries
-being able to talk about your problem with someone whose judgment you respect and trust!.
Last but not least : try to figure out what is going wrong in your life because depression is the physical sign of an emotional imbalance, of a certain dissatisfaction with life, of unhappiness!. Maybe you are not totally comfortable or happy in your actual relationship be it professional, familial, sentimental or other!. Try to figure out the root of your problem and you'll feel better already!. Then try to find a solutoin that will appeal to you and enable you to feel happier with yourself and with whom you are!.
A Positive Mind Attitude is always a HUGE help but I also know it can be difficult to feel cheerful and positive when depressed!. Just try!.
Take care of yourself!
Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As a person challenged with depression, I'd like to say that regardless of what conventional or alternative method you use, to combat depression, the most important thing you can do IS TO DECIDE TO GET BETTER!. No, I'm NOT saying that "it's all in your mind, and you just need to snap out of it!." I have my own opinion of people who say that, and truly believe it, and it AIN'T nice!. Nor is this meditation!. Meditation is what you can do AFTER you decide that depression sucks and you want to get better!. People who decide that they will get better, are much more likely to do so!. They will usually have shorter recovery times than those who play the sympathy game, or those who are hypochondriacs!. Read carefully all the other responses!. Get help from a professional if your self esteem is in the toilet and you feel like giving the sun a middle-finger salute!. Above all, please do NOT consider suicide to be a viable option!. Suicide is not reversable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
