subject: How To Relieve Depression From The Inside Out [print this page] We all get down and experience our low moments from time to time, which is all part of a natural day to day process. Some people however stay long on their low moments and seriously get depressed to a point of not being able to come out of the condition and cope with day-to-day life, or better still lead their life in something that looks like a normal fashion. The condition of depression has received so much awareness and great understanding, but one thing that is continually undermined is the treatment of the depressive disorder. The market has had a great share of drugs on depression, most of which have far worse and life threatening side effects compared to the condition itself. No wonder there are as many lawsuits against drug manufacturers as there are depression drugs in the market.
It is globally agreed that depression is a condition that deserves early treatment, but one thing that is yet to be agreed upon entirely is the method of treatment. Just recently is when a shocking revelation was unearthed linking depression to not only mental pain but also excruciating physical pain. Some pundits are of the opinion that depression should be treated using medication, others believe that therapy and counseling is the way out of depression, while still others believe that both medication and therapy and counseling are the most effective ways of combating depression.
What many people, health care professionals included, fail to realize is that the root cause of the depressive condition should be established in order to effectively treat the illness? Sadly, finding the cause of depression is often part of finding relief from depression. One thing that is for sure is that depression is as a result of life events, and most of this category of depression will go untreated since it's a natural process.
A very good example, when a family is faced with the death of a loved one, the surviving members are left experiencing a period of grief and depression. A loss of job can also be a source of huge stress, with some people staying depressed until they find a new job. As mentioned, this depression is quite normal and natural, as long as the feelings of depression aren't very severe.
There are those kinds of depression that are triggered by a chemical imbalance in the brain, basically under-production or over-production of serotonin in the brain leaves someone depressed. One thing that many people do not realize, or don't care to realize, is that the accumulation of harmful toxins in the body can also cause depression. Toxins naturally make one feel down and not 'normal'.
What this means is that all vital signs show you aren't sick and have no reason for depression but something somewhere is making you not sleep well, making your energy levels plummet, which can lead to bodily aches and pains. Such are indications that depression is looming. Antioxidants are known to detoxify the entire body and cleanse the body cells. These are natural anti-depressants and have no side effects.
In case you are suffering from depression, ensure you visit a doctor at the earliest possible time. Even mild depression calls for urgent medical attention as it may worsen.
