Great Tricks in Depression addressing
According to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), 322 million people are fighting depression, or about 4.4% of the world’s total population.
Depression is an often creeping disease, manifested by symptoms such as:
- sadness
- loss of interest in the assets
- low self-esteem
- poor appetite
- difficulty sleeping
- apathy
- Insufficient concentration.
The slogan “Depression, let’s talk about it” is the one chosen by the WHO to celebrate World Health Day 2017, with the aim of representing an encouragement for those suffering from this disease to talk about their own experience and also to seek help, because the best thing to do if you try some of the feelings and symptoms described above, is to go to specialized doctors and maybe evaluate the hypothesis of a path of psychological therapy.
However, it must also be said that life is not always rosy and it is absolutely normal for all of us to experience some moments of sadness or depression.
These can be transient moods, which manifest themselves for different reasons and can also be counteracted by activating certain self-help attitudes that can help you keep these mood fluctuations under control.
Read the practical and mental tips to combat depression in a natural way: use a change in your behavior, in your physical activity, in your lifestyle and in your way of thinking as an anti-depression treatment. For the proper local therapy this is essential now.
Combat depression with diet
Eating in a healthy and balanced way helps to regain a good mood naturally.
Furthermore, there are some foods that have therapeutic virtues and that can help you fight depression at the table.
These are foods that contain stress- regulating substances and help to naturally raise serotonin levels, such as chocolate, salmon and all fish rich in Omega 3 or eggs.
Stop being catastrophic
A mental attitude that leads straight to self-sabotage and depressive moods is to always think of the worst possible scenario and everything that could go wrong in a given situation.
Instead, take a step back and try to look at life in a realistic way : after all it’s never the end of the world and sometimes the implications of certain situations can surprise you in ways that you don’t even expect.
Do not continually “ruminate” negative thoughts
Does something bad happen to you and you relive it in your head almost obsessively? This means ruminating: continually “rehashing” what happened to you, thus reliving the sadness and disappointment.
Reflecting on the things that happen to you is healthy, because it allows you to read them and to understand how to avoid finding yourself in the same situation in the future.
However, rumination does not have these characteristics and it is a simple re-living of the negative experience within itself.
By some it is considered one of the attitudes that most likely to throw you into depression.
Focus on positive things
The way you decide to look at the world and everything that happens to you, has a great influence on the management of depressive anxiety attacks.It could be that without realizing it you have begun to focus more on negative things than positive ones.Stop now and get into the habit of looking for what’s good in every situation.
