Depression is the body's signal that it can no longer overcompensate for
something in life. It is the body's cry for help and doing something is
always better
than doing nothing. Enough 'somethings' will begin creating a shift.
Diet can play a contributing role to depression as does not getting enough
deep REM sleep. Sugar and wheat are 2 major culprits, so looking at what
he/she is
eating and making some adjustments there really helps. Also the supplement
5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin and also helps promote deeper sleep.
Any kind of movement of the body helps as well, whether it is regular
walking, exercise or even stretching & moving in place. Time spent outside,
reconnecting
with nature is a big help. Barefoot in the grass or dirt, sitting near a
body of water. I often step outside at night and lean against my favorite
tree (OK-I hug it
actually!) and reconnect with the earth right before going to bed.
Body work such as Reiki treatment or massage work well. Finding a coach or
practitioner that does belief change work is one of the best ways to shift
out
of depression.
Each emotion or thought we have creates a specific chemical response.
Thoughts of depression (its chemical response) can actually become
addictive, so changing any part of your pattern can help break the cycle.

Subject: [AlternativeAnswers] Re: Anxiety and ways to deal with depression
Well, there is a lot to exercise, but there seems to be more to depression
than exercise and drugs.
Seretanine is the neurotransmitter of wellbeing, and it also controls the
five senses (so we can get impaired sensiomotor together with lack of
wellbeing. (Antidepressants today are mostly ssri - suppressing seretanine
uptake) . As far as I understand opaids and endrophins compete for the same
seretanine receptors. A good workout will give relief, as will excitement or
pain - endorphin relief instead of seratonine wellbeing. Part of it is in
your mind, if you think happy the brain will produce more seratanine,
nutrition also plays a part. Exercise is great, but not the only part of the
puzzle.

can be judged based on their severity. Depression treatment can ease your
problems. Start with daily healthy habits at home to cure depression.Control
your breath. Breathe deep inside and release your breathe leisurely. Undergo
