How To Help Someone With Depression

How To Help Someone With Depression

Many times a depressed person may not recognize the
symptoms of depression. And they don’t realize how far
they have sunk down into a depression.

It is good for family and friends to speak up. Gently speak
to the person about the possibility of depression. List the
signs of depression, talk about what can be done about
it and ask how you could be of assistance.

Encourage the person to actively journal to get their thoughts
out on paper. This will help them pin point some of what is
going on.

If it is a minor problem, this can be worked through. If it is a
major problem, they may need to consider talk therapy.

In addition, Emotional Freedom Techniques have helped many
people to overcome thoughts that lead to depression.

Sometimes something as simple as a change of diet can do a lot
of good for those who have eaten poorly, which can lead to
depression, as the protein, vitamins, minerals and good oils
from nutritious food can balance the brain chemistry.

Depression And Nutrition

Depression is at epidemic proportions. Many
people would like some natural remedies that
can assist them. Here is one:

Depression Help - Start Eating Fish

Oily fish, such as sardines, mackerel, trout,
tuna and salmon, contain Omega-3 fatty acids,
vital for a healthy brain and nervous system.
Eat fish often.

A survey commissioned by the British Trout
Association, showed that one-fifth of the
population eat no oily fish, rising to one-third
of those aged 15 to 24. Most people eat half the
amount they would have eaten 50 years ago.

Your brain cannot run at peak efficiency when it
does not have the fatty acids it requires. So what
to do if you do not eat much fish? Take a fish oil
supplement. These can be found in capsules or
flavored liquid at the health food store. I
generally suggest fish oils be taken at a meal.
Big nutrition can make a big difference

Dealing With Depression

Dealing With Depression

Water can make a difference with dealing with depression.
Let me give you an alternative health idea that helps your
brain to function better:

For the next month, drink plenty of water and leave out all
soft drinks, diet drinks, colored and flavored drinks from
your diet. These have chemicals that can adversely affect
your brain chemistry. Out of balance brain chemistry can
lead to depression.

I suggest drinking one quart of water for every 50 pounds
of weight. So if you weigh 150 pounds, that would be three
quarts of water a day.

The brain needs to be hydrated to work at optimal level.
As a health consultant I see people who only have a glass
or so of water a day. Your body and your brain cannot
function very well with dehydration going on. Your nervous
system is a conductor of electricity and nerve impulses.
Water is an electrical conductor. Drinking enough water can
help with depression.
