Normal peaks & valleys in life mean that
everyone feels sad or has "blues" from time to time. But if emptiness
and despair have taken hold of your life & won't budge, you may be having
depression. But the question arises - How do you break through this phase
without eve consulting a psychiatrist? Being depressed can in fact make you
feel helpless.
Gets
a Little Closer with Every Step
- Get in a routine. If you’re depressed, you need a routine.
- Start small. Make your goal something that you can succeed at, like doing the dishes every other day.
- Set goals. When you're depressed, you may feel like you can't accomplish anything. But trust me, set a goal to get diverted.
- Exercise regularly. It temporarily boosts feel-good chemicals called endorphins.
Depression affects nearly 16 million
Americans annually, & a large portion of those people take antidepressant
drugs. While antidepressants have been shown to help those with moderate to
severe depression, they are usually less effective for those with mild depression.
If you don't respond to antidepressants (or even if you do), you may want to
explore nondrug remedies to lift your depression.
Depression is Curable With Naturopathy
A science-based tradition, Naturopathy promotes
wellness by identifying unique aspects of each patient & then employing
non-toxic natural therapies to restore his or her physiological, psychological,
& structural balance. Two of the

Bio Therapeutic Drainage via UNDA Numbers
This system of medicine from Germany,
Holland, & France has been around since about the 1920’s. UNDA numbers have
combinations of herbs & minerals that are system & organ specific;

Thank Homeopathy
Deriving experience from several cases, doctors
consider this to be the most corrective & permanent solution to mood
disorder spectrum. Literally seen Homeopathy works as “miracle”, one important
aspect of this treatment is that through extensive research it has been
recorded what each remedy does to the mind of an individual. Besides drainage
is essentially “Green Allopathy" which uses a natural substance in lieu of medication. This format of treatment can be helpful & effective as relief, but rarely permanent.
Life-Saving
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Usually recommended when symptoms are severe
or other forms of treatment are ineffective. It is a great therapy for patients
who do not respond even to the high stimulation actions of antidepressants. A
carefully-controlled electrical current is passed through brain, affecting the
brain’s electrical activity & producing an improvement in depressive &
psychotic symptoms.
With ECT, an electric current is briefly
applied through the scalp to the brain, inducing a seizure. ECT is
one of the fastest ways to relieve symptoms in severely depressed or patients
with suicidal tendencies. It's also very effective for patients who suffer
from mania or other similar mental illnesses.
- Depression is a readily treatable illness.
- There are many treatments available.
- Even people with most severe & difficult to treat depressive illnesses can normally be helped.
