Dealing With Depression By Dr. Rita Louise Far more common than you may think, one in five women and one in ten men
can expect to experience some form of depression in their lives. Depression can influence every aspect of your life. Although the cause of depression is unknown, depression can leave you feeling
sad, irritable, indecisive, pessimistic, hopeless or empty. Sufferers can also experience insomnia, fatigue, memory loss, restlessness,
anxiety and even rapid weight gain or loss. Today, many people are aware of the drug therapy that is available for
depression. This includes pharmaceuticals such as Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin, and Prozac. These drugs, while helping to eliminate the depression, can cause emotional
“flatness”. Instead of coming to terms with the underlying causes of their depression
these medications suppress it. Fortunately, there are a number of natural therapies, which can help you
manage mild to moderate depression. If you are currently on anti-depressive drug therapy, it is important to
work with your primary care provider before incorporating these recommendations
into your life. Recommendations For Wellness Exercise! Regular physical activity has been shown to release endorphins, the feel
good chemicals in the body. It can also help to reduce stress and build self-esteem. Meditate! Meditation and other relaxation techniques work to calm the mind and help
to reduce stress, muscle tension and anxiety. It can also promote emotional health and balance. Many forms of psychotherapy have been shown to help depressed individuals
by helping them gain insight into and resolve their problems. Avoid alcohol, sedatives and antihistamines, as well as substances that
can alter ones mood such as caffeine and nicotine. Increase consumption of omega-3 fatty acids such as found in salmon. SAMe is an essential amino acid that helps the body manufacture certain
neurotransmitters, which promote the feelings of well-being. 5-HTP is a precursor to seratonin. Low seratonin levels have been linked to feeling “down”. B-vitamins have also been shown help to protect against depression. It is best to take a B-complex that contains folic acid. Never stop taking an antidepressant without consulting the doctor for instructions
on how to safely discontinue the medication. (c) Copyright 2004 Body, Mind & SoulHealer, All Rights Reserved. Dr. Rita Louise Body, Mind & SoulHealer Rediscover Your Wholeness
