Help Keep Depression at Bay With These 3 Tips




Depression is a condition that is frequently misunderstood. Many times, people who have never experienced it mistake depression for sadness. But the fact is that you don’t even have to be sad to be depressed. And those suffering from the condition often find it difficult to trace their feelings back to a root cause. 


To help clarify, depression is a mood disorder that can manifest in a number of ways, including, but not limited to anger, loss, or sadness. Many do not experience crying jags or bouts of melancholy. Instead, depression is felt as an extreme feeling of lethargy and emptiness. The condition is not uncommon. An estimated 8.1% of adults are depressed—and this is likely to increase as a result of the current pandemic. 


However you experience depression, there is no universal cure. Some recover from the condition, while others learn to live with it for the rest of their lives. A treatment may work for one person, yet have no effect on another. Therefore, managing your symptoms can be a process of trial and error. You may need to try several different options before you find one that works for you. What’s important is that you try to remain as patient and optimistic as possible. 


To get you started, here are three options that can help to keep depression at bay.

Self-care 

Depression can worsen when you have stress or worry in your life, so self-care is crucial. If you have a high-pressured job, consider speaking with your employer about your concerns and find a way to lighten your workload. Time management strategies are also beneficial to help create more relaxing downtime. Whenever you can, indulge in a bit of self-care to brighten your mood. This could include relaxing baths, exercise, a massage, or spending quality time with friends and family.

Therapy

Many people find that taking about their depression is an effective way of relieving their symptoms. Speak with your doctor about options for counseling or cognitive behavioral therapy. If this isn't possible, find a close friend or family member to share your concerns with instead.

Medication

There are several types of medication used to treat depression. Depending on your symptoms, your healthcare provider might prescribe a course of antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, or antipsychotic medications. It’s important to note that all medications affect people in different ways and their benefits and side effects can vary from person to person. Along with prescription drugs, there are also many natural solutions used to treat depression. These can include herbal supplements, essential oils, vitamins, and medical marijuana, which can be purchased at outlets such as Harvest House of Cannabis. Whichever you choose, it is important to discuss any new medication with your doctor before use.

Cannabis dissolves cancerous tumor in young infant, deemed a 'miracle baby' by physician

Instead of opting for chemotherapy and radiation in an attempt to shrink an inoperable brain tumor, the father of an eight-month-old baby pushed for alternative treatment with cannabis oil. The baby's physician, Dr. William Courtney, was initially skeptical early in his career about cannabis as medicine but has since seen such impressive results that he's now a staunch advocate for its use.

"They were putting cannabinoid oil on the baby's pacifier twice a day, increasing the dose... And within two months there was a dramatic reduction, enough that the pediatric oncologist allowed them to go ahead with not pursuing traditional therapy," said Dr. Courtney in an interview with The Huffington Post.

At four months, the tumor was completely gone. And after eight months of treatment, the brain tissue was considered completely normal. Continue »
