Treatment of Depression
Treatment of every illness is to remove all possible causes whether they are mental, physical, psychological or social. Depression caused due to genetics reasons can be cured by medicines but it is highly advisable to consult a doctor or medical professional before assuming the cause and treatment of depression. Here I am providing simple treatments for depression that are more and more psychological in nature:
- Losing a Job is not an uncommon phenomenon nowadays. Accept this reality at the beginning itself and develop skills for future prospects. It is an opportunity if you are pre-prepared for this. Even if you are not prepared, no need to worry, be positive. You have tremendous hidden skills and talent inherited that need to be explored and put into reality. Always remember-What you want, you will get with a positive attitude.
- Relations are made by mutual consent to respect, co-operate and dreaming a bright future with togetherness. Break-up happens only due to diverse interests and intentions. One can not go long with poorly bound, purposeful, mal-intentioned built relations. Break-up is a hint that matching relations are still abundant that need to be explored.
- Failure is one of the major causes of depression. But we can deal with it by molding our attitude. Failure always comes with lots of opportunities to test your patience and approach. Greet the failure, keep smiling and fight until you win.
Treatment of other types of depression can be cured by removing the immediate cause of depression and taking a fresh start. Avoid living in isolation and dark. Develop any skill or habit that was never before with you. Keep yourself busy with friends, family, and colleagues. Do not over involve, over-rely on social media. Keep believing the process and people. They are assets in your life, learn to manage them and acquire the abilities other people have that you like most. Keep smiling, play with kids, connect with new people and improve social gathering. All the above activities will definitely take you out of depression.
One final say to you, Believe in yourself and your abilities. Things are waiting for you to act to poping out wonders that were never before and you never expected.
All the very best!
