depression treatment (dealing with depression)

in addition to depression medication There are many things that can be done that can help you to feel much better, even if those actions didn't solve the main problem. Still they will carry a good amount of the burden you are carrying.

The first thing you can do is exercising. It has been proven that exercising provides a very good mood lift when done regularly because of the release of endorphins. When you run or exercise while being depressed the release of endorphins acts like a pain killer that may help to provide relief for some of the aches and pains which accompany depression. Endorphins have a similar structure to morphine, they are thought to be involved in controlling the body's response to stress, regulating contractions of the intestinal wall, and determining mood. The greatest challenge to that is that the depressed person usually lacks the energy and the motive to exercise which may prevent him from doing so.

Depression in many cases may be associated with feeling worthless that's why building self esteem can be of a great help especially if one of the external stimulus that caused depression was due to loneliness or being rejected.
Depression is sometimes caused by suppressed emotions. Don't suppress them any more. Cry, scream or shout, do whatever you want to get your suppressed emotions out. Some research has proven that suppressed emotions can leak out somewhere else by defecting some of your internal organs!!Contrary to the common belief that men should not cry, crying is very healthy due to the chemicals it produces which helps you feel much better, just see how you feel after crying. It's our ignorant culture which taught us words like "men don't cry", forget about that, and get out your emotions.
Depression sometimes can be the result of a prolonged period of stress, if the nature of your work forces you to be under stress for long time then you must learn more about stress management.
Laugh!! Laughing is healthy and produces endorphins too, although you may not feel like it or you can do it but still feel that you are faking yourself, think of it as a natural pain killer until you get rid of the main problem.
Make sure you get enough sunlight. Sunlight stimulates your body to produce serotonin which is the hormone that is responsible for making you feel happy!! People who don't have enough serotonin in their bodies may feel down for no apparent reason. Walking 30 minutes each day in the sun could provide a very good lift to your mood.
Usually when you are depressed, everything seems dark, it seems then that there is no way out, it seems that there is no solution to any of your current problems and even more you may expect new problems. hope usually is at bottom level .if you can do anything to trigger your hope like making any small achievement , the situation may turn around to your side, you may have not solve the problem but at least you will start to see opportunities instead of blocked paths.
Sometimes your depression’s direct cause is a fake belief that you have built throughout your life, an example of fake belief is thinking that you have no chance in succeeding or thinking that your problem does not have a solution. If this is the case then you are lucky because as soon as you get rid of the fake belief your depression will fade away.

depression can happen because of a strong external stimulus which may be a loss of a beloved one, unmet goals or expectations, feeling lonely or being rejected. Any of the previous methods mentioned before will help to make you feel better but on the short term, in order to get rid of the root cause in this case then you should deal with the external stimulus, by either fixing the problem or accepting it
