When a dark mood takes hold and threatens to ruin everything in its path, take steps and learn how to beat depression fast.
Exercise: Depression is a serious medical condition caused by a combination of an imbalance of brain chemicals and other factors. Severe and prolonged depression can damage the limbic system, so anything you can do to reduce the length of the depression will contribute to overall wellness. Exercise releases endorphins which counter the effects of the chemicals released into a depressed body. Even a little exercise is better than none. If a long workout seems more than manageable, any movement will release endorphins.
Tactical operations: Nutritional deficiencies have a negative impact on mood as do unstable blood sugar levels. Avoiding sugary foods will lessen the likelihood of an artificial drop in blood glucose levels. Vitamin C also helps counteract the effect of stress hormones on the body, and helps stabilize blood sugar. Vitamin B deficiencies are also a contributing factor in some people. Nuts and seeds, cashews or walnuts for example, are a good source of B vitamins. To minimize sleep disturbances, avoid caffeine.
Psychological operations: Depression is a physical illness. Like other medical conditions such heart disease or diabetes, your state-of-mind does influence your recovery. In depression, making the decision to fight the low mood has value and can influence the length of illness. No one can cure your depression. You must take an active role in getting better.
Social interaction: Studies have shown that people who have contact with others in a social setting tend to fare better when treating depression. Even a book discussion group or church group can increase an individuals ability to cope with depression. Family support can also be a positive influence.
Lay of the land: Recognize where you are in your emotional landscape. A range of emotions is healthy, and expressing those emotions rather than bottling them up is key in beating depression.
There is no magic bullet to slay depression, but these tips can get you started. If your depression lasts more than three weeks, you will want to consider seeing a professional. Studies suggest that a combination of medication and talk therapy is the most effective combination for managing depression long term. - 30415
