Cures for Depression That Can Help Anyone

 

When the dark cloud of depression looms on anyone it's hard to believe that it will ever lift and there will be light again. However, even the most severe, chronic and acute depressions are treatable, so don’t lose hope just yet. If your depression has badly affected your personal, professional and social life then it's time to battle it heads on. Don’t let it get the best of you and your life, there are many diverse treatment options available like; medication, diet, magnetic therapy for anxiety and by making healthy lifestyle changes. Having said that, no two people go through the same journey, symptoms and problems.

“One size fit all” is not the case here, one treatment might work for someone but not for the other one. It’s imperative to be knowledgeable about the diverse options of treatment, be as informed as possible and work out what really works for making your days better, happier and full of life. One of the go-to ways of treating depression that gives instant relief is anti-depressant medicines, they have side-effects that can further damage your personality and mental state. Try to include some natural ways along with your OCD medication to annihilate the side effects and to double the rate of the healing process.

Now depression isn’t a temporary bad mood or bad day, it’s a lasting, more impactful wave of sorrow that hovers over the person for a few seconds to a few weeks or even months. Don’t take the symptom of depression lightly and also don’t try to do the treatment through internet searches. Get information about various other forms of cures, then talk to your doctor so that he can amalgamate natural treatments with medication to get the best possible results. Here are some cures/ways that work for most of the people suffering from depression.

Get the Sleep you Want

Sleep, mood and depression go hand in hand, each one has a predominant effect on the other one. Getting too little sleep can make even a normal person feel agitated, lethargic and tired, but in the case of a depressed person these effects further intensify. The relation between sleep and depression is way more complex, as poor sleep routine and timing can cause the depression onslaught to last longer and acute depression severely meddles with the sleep patterns. In order to have a good sleeping pattern while suffering from depression, you need commitment, persistency and courage. Don’t try to fall asleep the minute you hit the bed, do something that makes you feel at ease, keep the negative thoughts at bay and avoid screen time.

Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol

Now it’s a known fact that caffeine hinders your sleep patterns especially if taken in the later part of the day. In order for you to treat your depression you must cut back on caffeine. If you’re craving chocolate, soda, coffee or tea then take it with your breakfast. Another thing that can intensify the symptoms of depression is alcohol, which is a depressant in itself. You might feel that it takes away all your worries and makes you feel good but it actually makes everything even worse. For any treatment like magnetic therapy for anxiety or OCD medication, to work it needs your support to be successful, so do it by these measures.

Workout to Burn the Depression

I can’t emphasize enough on working out at least 30 mins a day with or without depression. But if you’re suffering from depression it's imperative to get involved in some kind of physical activity. I know, in depression the mere task of getting up is a whole effort in itself but the benefits of exercise are worth it. You can make it happen by reminding yourself the advantages it will have on your mind and body. You can also take help from a friend and ask him/her to join you and start slowly, just try to build up a routine.

Eat Right

Comfort food is a thing; when a person is depressed, he craves sweet, fatty carbs which instantly helps release hormones called dopamine and serotonin. The sudden outburst of these hormones acts as a drug addiction which makes us desire these foods more often. Eating right plays a very important role in the cure of depression. Have a well-balanced diet which has the right amount of nutrients from each food group. Also take supplements, vitamin-D and omega-3 fatty acids to build your immunity and keep to strong.

Try to Communicate and Interact

Depression can confine you to your room and bed, but you need to break those shackles and seek help from friends and family. Talk to your loved ones, make plans with them, join a club, volunteer or sign up for a support group but please don’t sit alone in your misery.

Summary

Depression can take you to some pretty dark and gloomy places but with these cures/ways/lifestyle changes you can negate many impacts of it. Just try doing different things, don’t give up!

How to Put an End to Pure OCD with No Therapy or Medication

When we talk about obsessive compulsive disorder, we mainly emphasize on the compulsions that the person has no control over. Actions like repetitive hand washing, bathing, cleaning, putting things in symmetry or checking if they are in order, is mainly associated with OCD. While these compulsions are a more prominent and more explored aspect of OCD, the obsessive thoughts are often overlooked. These intrusive thoughts are the first link of the chain that leads to the compulsions as well. Sometimes people only suffer from these obsessive thoughts and not from the compulsions and this form of OCD is known as Purely Obsessional OCD or Pure O. The best OCD medication like serotonin reuptakes can be effective in the treatment of this. A sufferer of Pure O is imprinted with unwanted, uncontrollable and meddlesome thoughts.
