Wrong response to the correct signal

Have you ever tried drinking water when you feel Hungary? Whenever you find yourself starving drink water and see if it will do anything for you. Depression is like hunger, its an indication that you are in need of certain things in your life that you don’t have. (see Why am i depressed).

If you felt depressed then tried to deal with it by exercising or eating healthy food then you will be doing the same as the person who drinks when he needs food, yes drinking might fill his stomach but it will never help him get rid of the hunger.

Each one of the nice advices you will come across can provide a great mood lift that aids in combating depression but none of them can ever remove the root cause of depression.

In my book In my book, The ultimate guide to getting over depression I explained how depression can be nothing more than a signal sent to you by your brain in order to motivate you to fulfill some unmet emotional need.

Respond to the signal

Responding to the signal would remove depression while ignoring it will result in even worse emotions.

When it comes to responding to the signal people fall into different categories. There are those who build false beliefs like “Nothing can be done about it” and so remain depressed, there are those who try to fix themselves using other methods like medication and then end up depressed too and there are those who ignore the signal and act as if it not there then face a more severe depression later.

If you want to really get rid of depression then don’t do like any of these three groups and join the fourth group that responds to the signal.

Try to decode the message your mind is sending to you by examining your past. try to find how your life was before you became depressed and what are the changes that happened that resulted in depression.

After thinking for a while you will find the root cause and if you decided to fix it your depression will go away without medication.
