Depression and Anxiety

Those who suffer from anxiety and depression can feel as if the only way out is to take prescription medications.  The difficulty with this option is that many people are prescribed drugs when they have mild depression or anxiety symptoms, which don’t need medication at all.

Prescription medications used to treat anxiety disorders can take up to 12 weeks to be fully effective in some cases. They are also known to be habit forming and in many instances, cause problems when a person has to stop taking them. This must usually be done over a period of time.

Therefore, instead of facing potential side effects that are detrimental to your health, why not try a natural approach to stabilizing your moods?  You certainly have options that can help you stay calm and in control of your emotions.

Depression

When suffering from depression, taking regular exercise and eating well will get you off to a great start. Add that to a good night’s sleep, and you may begin to have your anxiety levels under control. Do simple exercises such as walking or be more proactive by attending yoga classes. You could also reap enormous benefits from relaxation techniques such as meditation and deep breathing.

You will soon become calmer and remain in control of any occasional bouts of depression or anxiety.

This may all sound simplistic, but there is a good reason for this simplicity. Our bodies run on hormones, and if they are out of kilter for any reason, they can cause you to experience depression and anxiety.

If you need an extra boost, there are natural supplements to help raise your dopamine and serotonin levels.  A supplement that works to increase your body’s ability to produce the necessary chemicals, serotonin and dopamine, will help you feel good without harmful side effects.

Anxiety

If you suffer from anxiety attacks, it may cause depression or even turn into a horrendous emotional roller coaster. Fighting depression and anxiety can be done naturally, so you can get off the bad ride and start to feel in control.

Should You Take Medication?

If you aim to treat anxiety and depression naturally, then you probably are not interested in this form of treatment. Taking medications may not be the best way to solve your problem either. The vast majority of my clients have enjoyed a complete recovery without even taking a single pill. The cause of anyone’s depression or anxiety is usually associated with his or her past experiences or emotional patterns.  These cannot be corrected singularly with the use of medications.

Seeking professional help is one of the best ways to deal with any mental health disorder. However, most of the effort for recovery has to come from you as well. You should take it upon yourself to learn as much about your condition as possible. This should help you overcome your anxiety and depression in a way that suits you.

While managing and minimizing symptoms is essential, the ongoing goal is obviously to find and treat the underlying cause. Unfortunately, most prescription medications only treat the immediate symptoms, allowing the problem to recur continually, and even increase in intensity and duration.

Alcohol and Depression

Alcohol and depression often appear to go hand in hand. It is all too common for many people to drink alcohol when they are feeling down, or are overcome by the events of their lives. Unfortunately any perceived benefit of ‘drowning one’s sorrows’ will be very temporary. Dec 12, 2016Abid Pasha
