Question:
What is the best way to beat depression?
Answers:
Depression is both a pschobehavioural disturbance and a neurohormonal problem.
Basically, it depends how serious it is, and what effect it is having on your life.
Classical depression symptoms are: Low mood, weight change (can be up or down), change in appetite (also up or down), early morning wakening.
The first step is to look at your life, what is it that is making you feel low, Work, money, relationships?
Try and talk to friends family about your problems. Even your Doctor if you dont feel comfortabel talking to these people.
Unfortuneately the world we live in now is very stressful.
Make time for you, you need to make sure you have enough relaxation time, sports, hobbies.
If these options fail, there are a multitude of drugs that can be used to help control neurotransmitter imbalances, also simple chanes of your diet can change your mood drastically.
Depression is serious, if it has a serious effect on your life and/or you have suicidal ideation or just not caring about yourself.
If this is the case you must see your GP immediately.
Remember depression is common, life is stressful, there is no shame in anyone saying that they are having difficulty coping.
If you are still having problems or if things get seriously out of hand, please see your doctor, dont think that you are wasting their time because you dont have a cough. I am a doctor myself and it is very important to me that we take care of people both physically and mentally, and its good to get things off your chest.
All the best.
