Depression Free Tip: Get Outside

Get outside and enjoy the outdoors to help beat depression. Spend time with nature. Gardening, walking or just sitting and breathing in the fresh air early in the morning will make you feel thankful for the created world around you. It will definitely improve your mood.

Depression Free Tip: Walking

Yup, go for a walk. Walking is the best thing to do when you are depressed because you don’t need tons of motivation. So, get out and walk. Stop thinking about negative stuff while walking. Enjoy nature including the fresh air. If you need help with motivation, find a buddy to walk with you or use an ipod to play upbeat music.

Make exercise a part of your daily routine. Exercising releases the endorphins of the body and helps you feel positive and makes you feel happier.

Depression Free Tip: Limit Caffeine

The Depression Free Tip for today is limit caffeine. Too much caffeine bogs you down and having too much coffee becomes a depressant. So, if you cannot do without it, limit yourself to a couple of cups everyday. Consider tea such as Ginger tea which improves the blood and oxygen circulation of the body and keeps you feeling good. Peppermint tea relaxes you and improves your mood. Give it a try. You’ve got nothing to lose and more to gain. For a depression free life, limit caffeine.

Depression Diet Proven

A recent study has AGAIN revealed that there is a depression diet. As I’ve stated many times before, a healthy diet high in certain vitamins, minerals and monosaturated fatty acids has been found to beat depression. A recent study in the October issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry again revealed that those who followed the Mediterranean diet – one associated with heavy fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and moderate alcohol use – had a more than 30 percent reduction in the risk of depression than those who did not closely follow the diet.

What are the symptoms and signs of depression and what should you do?

The first symptoms and signs of depression can be a red flag in your life letting you know that you are not taking care of yourself properly. Find out what you are missing. Get that nail out of your tire so your engine can pur! Below I will share with you what symptoms and signs of depression to look for and what to do…

A few signs, symptoms of depression are trouble sleeping, having no motivation to do anything, constant negativity or even a desire to abuse alcohol or drugs. The bottom line is if you feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, or uninterested in life – you may be on the verge of entering depression.

What do you do when you suspect symptoms and signs of depression?

1. Find someone who can help you figure out what is causing you to be depressed. Find a trusted, mature friend, a counselor or therapist.

Or you may want to start by getting out your pen and paper and start writing down what you are feeling. Just write! Just write like you’re talking to an imaginary friend.

Perhaps you can start by answering the following questions…

• What are you upset about?
• What makes you frustrated, sad, angry?
• Who are you upset with?
• Who has caused you a great deal of sadness, anger, frustration, etc?

Then, step back and look at what you’ve written. If it’s absolutely dark and negative, then find someone to confide in and help you walk you through it. Your answers can often give you a clue of why you are suffering symptoms and signs of depression.

2. See your doctor and ask them if they can determine if your physical lifestyle is causing it, such as your diet and exercise habits. Those two individuals are a good start.

At the first sign of depression, if you are keen on picking up on it and taking care of yourself, you are apt to save yourself unnecessary illness. What do I mean? Well, its like if your tire gets a nail in it. If you notice it immediately and get it fixed, you save yourself from a potential accident. But, if you don’t notice the nail and keep driving, the nail can work itself deeper and deeper into the tire eventually causing it to blow and perhaps causing you an accident.

Early detection of depression is important!

Learn about the top 6 ingredients that if you are lacking them, can cause depression.

The most important thing is to move towards answers to your symptoms and signs of depression, instead of moving towards substance abuse, suicidal thinking, continued negative thinking, etc.

Job Loss: Depression or Hope?

What happens when you lose your job? Here’s one man’s story. I love this guy’s attitude. His wife is having trouble not being able to buy $300 boots anymore but he’s got a great attitude… Watch the Job Loss: Depression or Hope video…

What we can learn from Barak Obama?

What does Barak Obama have to do with curing depression? Let me jog your memory a bit… Not so long ago black folks were seen as scum, dirt, filth.  Can you imagine the depression they went through?

But many found hope in a black preacher who had a dream. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot for his dream that one day blacks and whites would have unity. And yet, today we saw the first black American president sworn in. And the festivities and attendance has blown above superstar status. Today, the dark cloud of racism and hatred saw bright light shining through.

Never think your depression is so big a mountain that you cannot defeat it! Think of these words: “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

There is hope! You are worth it!

Childhood Depression Stats

Girls With the Blues?

Another report from Iconoculture…

# First the bad news: More than 2 million U.S. teens suffered serious bouts of depression in 2007, according to a nationwide survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (Reuters 5.13.08).

# Now the worse news: Teen girls are especially vulnerable. Nearly 13% of young women age 12 to 17 reported being hard hit by depressive episodes, as opposed to 4.6% of the boys.

# That’s a huge gender gap, even if boys are less willing to admit their own unhappiness, as many experts surmise (Jezebel.com 5.14.08).

Don’t Overlook the Boys!

My experience, totally anecdotal, is that boys are not only less likely to self-report, they tend to present differently than girls. The boys I know who suffered depression had behaviors such as angry outbursts, aggression and angst, which are characteristic of ALL teens from time to time, but I learned with depression these behaviors are pervasive and long-term. The teen boys I know who are diagnosed and treated early thanks to insightful pediatricians, bounced back to lead happy productive lives.

What I’m afraid of is that too many boys are going untreated and abusing alcohol and drugs, which is a common coping behavior with un-diagnosed depression.

I’m concerned that these statistics could be misleading and encourage parents and professionals to continue overlooking depression in boys.
