Facts And Natural Treatments For Depression

October 2, 2013 By Jenny Richards

Are you tired? Do you feel sad all the time? Do you feel down and you just can’t put your finger on the reason why? Have you ever been diagnosed with depression? Perhaps a friend or loved one suffers from depression? Depression is a serious disease that has no cure. Depression has a wide variety of symptoms and therefore finding the right course of treatment can be difficult and frustrating. Each person experiences different symptoms of depression and there is not one “textbook” form. When treating depression it is important to stay in constant contact with your doctor. Some symptoms of depression can be more severe and even life threatening than others. Depression doesn’t effect just your mind as most people think. Depression effects every aspect of your life.

There is a great difference between feeling sad or lonely. If you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, a job loss or perhaps suffered an injury, these events can cause you to feel melancholy. That doesn’t mean you will be diagnosed with depression though. Depression is a number of chronic symptoms. Recognizing the symptoms of depression and being properly diagnosed is often the biggest hurdle of the process. Unfortunately, suicide is a product of depression. More than one out of ten people who suffer from depression will commit suicide when left untreated.

1. Symptoms Of Depression According To The National Institute Of Mental Health

Ÿ Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions

Ÿ Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings

Ÿ Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness

Ÿ Overeating or appetite loss

Ÿ Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism

Ÿ Fatigue and decreased energy

Ÿ Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping

Ÿ Irritability, restlessness

Ÿ Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment

Ÿ Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex

Ÿ Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

2. Treatment For Depression

There is talk or psycho therapy. You go to your psychiatrist, psychologist or counselor and talk to them. Most of the time you are in complete control of the conversation while they give you little bits of insight or suggestions on how to deal with or handle certain situations that effect your depression.

There are also medications that help treat depression. Often times finding the right course of medication can take some time.

Ÿ Prozac

Ÿ Zoloft

Ÿ Elavil

Ÿ Wellbutrin

Ÿ Celexa

Ÿ Effexor

Ÿ Abilify

Ÿ Lexapro

Ÿ Cymbalta

Ÿ Moringa capsules

Some people who suffer from depression choose to try more natural and non-addicting remedies. Making sure that you’re not deficient in vitamins really helps with depression. Depression relates to the chemicals in your brain getting to where they’re suppose to go and being produced in the appropriate amounts. A lot of people chose to take Moringa because they’re natural, non-toxic and non-addicting. They help boost energy without caffeine or sugar. They help mental clarity and enhance memory. They also help to suppress the appetite which is excellent for people who are emotional eaters due to depression or anxiety. They have been found to cure acne as well. They help performance in athletes, as well as treating Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The benefits of Moringa are endless.

Recognizing Signs of Suicide

October 30, 2012 By Angela

Life is not easy. Everyone has their ups and downs regarding what life throws at them. Some of us are able to handle tough events, while others struggle with certain things. Unfortunately, some people resort to suicide when they feel they can’t cope with life anymore. Although it may seem like an easy way out, it impacts everyone. Loved ones are left to cope with the loss. It can be prevented if you know how to read the signs of someone considering suicide.

Referencing Suicide

If you know someone who is referencing suicide, chances are, they are really considering it. Whether it’s mentioned on their social media account or in a conversation, it is not something that should be taken as a joke. They need help, and it’s important you get them help before it’s too late. Seek help from a mental health professional immediately. Don’t worry about your friend or loved one getting mad at you because you are only helping them.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse

If you find a friend or loved one is drinking more than usual or abusing drugs, they need help. The sooner you can get them help the better; otherwise the addiction can become a much larger problem. Their actions can lead to even greater consequences including jail time or even a deadly overdose. Seek help from a rehabilitation specialist.

Severe Depression

Chances are several of your friends have struggled with some form of depression throughout their lives. It’s normal and there are ways of coping and getting through it. If you find that a loved one is sad all the time or in pain, let them know they aren’t alone. Depression is one of the worst feelings in the world, and while you can’t make the pain go away in one day, you can still let them know you are there for them.

Isolation

If you consistently hang out with a friend or loved one and find they are isolating themselves, there is something wrong. Some people love alone time, but if it’s out of character for them, keep an eye out for other signs. This doesn’t mean concern for a person that doesn’t want to go to a party. People that are isolating themselves from class or work are what you should be worried about. Let this person know you are concerned about them, and you are there for them. In some cases, you should let your professor or boss know you are concerned about your friend’s mental health status.
