How To Overcome Depression Naturally (10 Simple Effective Ways)

Coming from someone who has faced the struggle of postpartum depression, this is extremely valuable information. I was in a job at the time where I could not afford to be on medication that made me at all foggy or anything that was full of side effects. I was worried about taking anything because of this! I ended up having no choice and some of the things I was worried about ended up coming to life! I wish that when I was going through this, I had thought to look at something like this to find alternative ways to help me through what I was going through. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! This is something that many people could benefit from knowing for their overall mental health.

Depression is one deep down illness that effect millions of American’s world-wide. Studies have shown that kids, even in their early teens, are affected. Some are depressed enough to want to commit suicide.

It’s good how you broke things down regarding images of the human brain and how signs of depression target certain areas. I was also surprised that, certain food can make you depressed. Again, we learn new things everyday.

It’s good how you point out things that can help beat depression. But the way things go down in our world today, I’m not surprised many more Americans aren’t stuck in a depressed mode.

Hi Kenny, an excellent article on how to beat depression.
I am due to changes in life circumstances for some time been depressed and pulled in a way that you describe. Since I am a supporter of natural things, did not want to take medication, because I believe that they just cover up the problem without being deeply tassels. The only thing I would add that in your post is that it is very important to leave the house and walk. Make yourself at least a half-hour walk on the air every day.
Another thing that has helped me every morning glass of squeezed lemon and a teaspoon of honey. It gave me extra energy and at night we would teaspoon of honey to help sleep.
And the third thing I am instead of hypnosis and meditation practiced prayer. Because prayer is toward God, I will be greater than us that is beyond us and can help us from outside. Meditation is facing the inside of us, and we were already sick inside hard to ourselves we can help.

Hi Kenny

Thank you for a very informative article! I’ll certainly look into some of the links you have provided too.

Another way to recognize severe depression which may require treatment (as opposed to that which you recognize early enough for self-help), is that you lose all interest in things you used to love, and become extremely apathetic. You hardly have enough energy to lift your head off the pillow. Whilst you may not seriously seek suicide, you may be uncaring of being in accidents or other harmful situations which may lead to serious injury or death.

Also, giving up your coffee in my opinion is a sure way to become enraged or more depressed once the caffeine withdrawal headaches set in:( Drinking too much coffee is never a great idea, but probably best to curb it when you’re in a good place mentally…

My pennies worth is all…

I’ve never suffered depression myself, but I’ve walked beside someone very close to me as he battled this demon. It’s not pretty and I hate to think of how he would have coped without the loving support of his family and friends. There is no quick fix, you can’t just snap out of it, but what we all did for our friend was to keep him as healthy as could be. Eating properly, exercising, getting sunshine and fresh air are vitally important and go a long way toward bringing back the happiness. Thanks for such a great post.

i admit i get depressed a bit , it last about 4 days , because i do dialysis, while waiting for a transplant it can seem that there is no end in sight to this torture, i use one of these methods the most -SLEEP , dialysis can leave you very tired, so i found it a good one, tell do you have a quick recipe for a good anti depressant meal?

Great article, thanks for taking the time to publish this. I am going to bookmark and keep this for future reference and to share.

Great article. You have provided so much information about depression and how to overcome it. I did not realize that food is a factor. I have written down some of the pointers that you listed, and I will share some with a family member that suffers from depression. Better yet, I might just send this link to her. Excellent post and very informative.

Hi Kenny
Not long ago one of my friend had a depression. Before he went into that state of mind I never knew such thing existed. It can literally ruin someone’s life. Luckily for him he realized the situation, excepted this fact and took action. My friend was willing to go over this. He overcame his problem with help of friends, family members and a qualified doctor. Some people deny that they have depression. And it is only going deeper and gets worse.
Society needs to be more educated on this subject in our modern world.
Great information, Kenny!
Cheers,
Vitaliy

I find out the perfectionist always end up with depression. I am a happy go lucky guy, I do not understand why people suffer depression one of my stuff too on one-month medical depression leave. I was told by a psychiatrist that depression people need to take whole life drug. Is that true?

Thank you for producing this well researched article on a topic that unfortunately affects so many people in this modern day society. There were a number of trigger points in my life that led to depression the main ones being when I was retrenched at the age of 57 from a senior management position I had held for 20 years and secondly when I was later diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Fortunately with a very supportive wife and family I was able to fully recover from my depression.
