Depression
is a normal response as part of our daily lives, such as the loss of a
job, the death of a loved one, or illness. Over 30 million Americans
suffer from depression and the amount is increasing in an alarming rate.
Depression may be a mental health disorder that can affect the way you
eat and sleep, and the way you feel about yourself. In this article, we
will discuss how to treat depression with common sense approach.
1. Reduce intake of saturated and trans fats
Saturates
and trans fats cause the increase of levels of bad cholesterol in the
blood stream, blocking the circulation of blood and reducing the levels
of oxygen that are essential for brain cells resulting in mood change
and low interest for daily function.
2. Reduce intake of fat food, simple carbohydrates, and artificial sweetener
The above food causes chemical and nutritional imbalances and contribute to depression.
3. Be careful with conventional prescription side effects
Conventional
medication while common can produce negative side effects and tends to
treat the symptoms rather than the cause of depression. Some
prescription medication may cause side effects to only some patients but
not others. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you have some depression
side effect.
4. Moderate exercise
Exercise helps to increase the circulation and oxygen level in the bloodstream, gives body energy and produces feelings of revitalization and accomplishment triggering the release of certain hormones that help to boost your mood.
5. Join a social group or club
Joining
a social group or club is the best way to climb out and learn something
new. It is the proven way to keep your brain active and increase your
confidence and self esteem.
6. Get enough sleep
Over half of people with sleep disorders are found to have some mental disorder such as depression. In fact, study shows that insomnia may be the cause of depression.
7. Light therapy
If
you have season affective disorder, the body chemistry is thrown off by
a decrease in the amount of day light. Light therapy will help to
increase energy levels and overcome difficulty in getting out of bed.
