A Great Way Of Relieving Depression

By Amy Williams


Depression is a very common disorder that folks battle with. Medication can be an option, but there are many natural ways of relieving depression as well. Psychologists recommend that clients turn to these options as they can be very helpful. Sometimes you can become addicted to mediation. There are also side effects that you may suffer from and this is obviously undesirable.

Overcoming depression naturally can come in a number of different ways. You may not be able to cure the disorder completely. It will depend on the severity. Some people suffer from a chemical imbalance and they will need medication to help them cope during the day. However, these natural approaches will definitely be helpful as well. They can help raise the mood.

A lot of people also believe in brainfood, which will improve the cognitive process and improve skills, such as short term memory. Things like blueberries and walnuts as well as eggs and chicken are particularly good for the brain. Don't forget about things like omega-3 fatty acids which can be found in salmon as well as your healthy fats which can be found in olive oil.

People find that when they increase their serotonin levels, their depression starts to improve as well. However, you have to make the effort. It is important to set goals for yourself. Of course, you can't push yourself, especially in the beginning. Your friends and family may not understand what you are going through and it is important to have the support.

Spend some time by yourself in the morning meditating or simply just being quiet. You can right down your thoughts in a journal. You can think of writing down a couple of things that you are grateful for. You may have to get up a little earlier than you usually do, but it is worth it. It can take some practice to meditate, but you will learn the ropes sooner or later.

Besides the support, encouragement and motivation, there is a lot that you can do on your own. For example, things like exercise, diet, sleep and the avoidance of alcohol can be very useful. You will benefit hugely by going for a walk in the forest or on the beach every day. Just making sure that you get out in the fresh air for 20 minutes every day can be very helpful.

A lot of people find that the creative process can also be incredibly helpful. You learn to focus on the body and this in turn helps the mind. You can start to paint or draw. You don't have to be a Picasso. Just get the acrylics out along with a sheet of paper and start to express yourself in a non-verbal way. You will start to feel that this promotes a great sense of freedom in your life.

When you feel that you have put in the effort and you need extra support, it may be worthwhile turning to a professional who will be able to guide you through the process. There are often natural vitamins and minerals that can be helpful. It can also be helpful to talk to a therapist who specializes in the disorder.
