Depression Self Help: How to Deal with Depression, Overcome Depression and Symptoms and Signs of Depression

by Richard Foreman

We all felt sad in a particular time in our lives. We lost our job. We lost someone who we loved. Or something else tragic happened in our live. It is very ‘normal’ to feel sad or depressed when life struggles appear, it is the natural reaction from our brain to these circumstances. It shows that your brain is healthy and it is functioning fine. But what when the feelings don’t go away while the tragic circumstances went away or was a long time ago? This might be depression. Feeling depressed or sad can be a normal reaction to life’s struggles, loss, or an injured self-esteem. This is our brain ‘telling us’ that there is something wrong. But if the brain ‘keeps telling’ that there is something wrong, while objectively, there isn’t, it may be clinical depression. A very serious but also a very treatable medical condition. To summarize what depression is in one Feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness or helplessness that last for more than days, weeks or even months. About 5 in 100 adults have depression yearly. Sometimes it will last for just a couple of weeks. However, 1 in 4 woman and 1 in 10 men will get an episode of depression serious enough that requires treatment.

EXCEPTIONAL book!

Really helped me find out what is causing my low moods / Foods I should eat and shouldn't eat. The supplements that I coudl take instead of anti-depressants, when I was done reading this book, and after implementing what it taught, I already saw myself happier.

Practiced smiling more, giggling more, walking outside for afew minutes. I especially enjoyed the last chapter, refering to someone who had a terrible childhood, but how he was still able to be a successful person today married to a beautiful smart wife, healthy, financially doing well.
