what is the best way to cure depression?

Question

my depression is accompagned with head pain

Answer 1

Get away from whatever it is that is depressing you. Sometimes the same thing everyday starts to feel like a prison almost, you start feeling trapped, smothered, worried and hopeless. Whether it be your home, work, bills, love or health. Your health starts to slip mostly from no activity or lack of energy. Without Prescription Medicine it is so so hard, but it is "doable". You have to leave the thing or place that is haunting you and surround yourself with happier, newer, different reasons other than the same old same old!!!! If you are not in constant worriment of stuff in general, you will feel better and be more active physically and mentally stronger... You will actually want to!
If you can't get over the great hump, on your own it's OK, but you should see your doctor about getting a Prescription for something like Prozac, Zoloft etc. there are lots of kinds... I found the Wellbutrin to be the absolute best for my anxiety and depression.
Don't be ashamed, there are so many people around you that are on meds. You don't even know about. It's not like doing drugs as some people label it. It is help with coping , because like is so so short, you should spend it being at least somewhat happy don't you think? We are here and we must make the best out of our time! I am so much better, but I have been on meds for about 7 yrs. I have to say I probably would have not exist if I had not gotten help. But on a scale from to 100, 100 being the best I am 80% which ain't bad at all considering my age, my kids growing & gone, my health & loss of loved ones. And the horrible way I was feeling years ago. I am doin good. You should try to do it without the meds first, to do that you have to get an "I don't give a damn attitude" stop worrying about senseless useless things, & be able to destinguish between things that are actually worth spending your precious time and thought on!!!!!!! I think that is the KEY>>>>>

You should see a doctor. When you discuss your symptom with a doctor he/she can discuss a plan that will work for you the best as Everyone experiences the symptoms of depression a little differently.

Healthcare professionals have identified some common emotional and painful physical symptoms of depression.


Here is a website on exactly that. Depressionhurts.com . There is a body map where your physical symptoms are explained. There is a Self-Assessment Checklist
The first step to recovery from depression requires talking to your doctor or healthcare provider about how you've been feeling. Only your doctor can make an appropriate diagnosis of depression. If you are diagnosed with depression, you will probably have many questions, including the science behind depression and its treatment.
The Science Behind Depression
Many researchers believe depression is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine, in the brain and the body. In the brain, these two chemicals are thought to be associated with mood. These same chemicals are also thought to be associated with regulating and reducing feelings of pain that come from the body.

In order to be healthy and free of depression, you may need a treatment program that addresses both the emotional and painful physical symptoms.

Medication
If your doctor recommends medication, be sure to talk to your doctor about medications that affect both serotonin and norepinephrine. Cymbalta is one such medication. Cymbalta is in a class of medications called selective SNRIs (selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), and is FDA-approved for the treatment of depression. More than 725,000 patients have been prescribed Cymbalta for any indication.

Print these Frequently Asked Questions about Cymbalta and discuss them with your doctor.

Talk Therapy
Therapy typically means that you spend about an hour a week talking with a mental health professional. Treatment can continue for several weeks or up to 1 to 2 years. Every person's situation is different.

Depression can negatively affect the way you think and feel. Talk therapy can help you learn to manage your depression and help relieve your symptoms of depression.

Lifestyle Changes
Depression can affect several areas of your life and as a result, your physician may recommend specific lifestyle changes, which may include exercise. Also, reach out to friends and family for support and try to find more social opportunities and activities in which you can participate.

Take that important first step in getting help for depression. Don't wait — depression is an illness that can, and should, be treated.

Talk to a loved one or a friend today about how you are feeling so they may help you in talking with a doctor and getting on the road to recovery. In fact, print out your results from the Symptom Body Map and/or the Checklist to help start the conversation with a friend or loved one.
Hugs to you for getting the help you need. I will be praying for you and your strength. Keep your faith during the good and bad days you have.

Answer 3

Hi,
I've been dealing with depression for many years now and medication and therapy has helped me tremendously. I guess I've also had physical symptoms such as neck pain and headache. They're now selling a medication for depression and the physical symptoms that come with it. I can't remember the name of it but the commercial for it is on all the time. Your headaches could be stress, also. I know from my experience that I am easily overwhelmed which not only give me headaches but also makes me depressed.
Give medication and therapy a try. I wish you luck.

Answer 4

First - seek the advice of a professional.

Food - serotonin makes you feel good, look up sources of this which include turkey, chicken and avocados.

Exercise releases feel-good hormones.

Wake up to uplifting happy music and read some jokes in the morning.

Keep busy - it takes your mind off bad stuff.

Wear bright colours and try to remember the good things rather than dwell on the bad.

Watch comedy films.

Write down words with a happy theme on a sheet of paper - like happy fun exciting good great excellent - just keep doing this until the page is full - you reinforce this in your head.

Tell yourself in the mirror that you are great and life is good, feel that you have control over your life.

Avoid excess - quit nicotene, caffeine and eat small meals often. Avoid heavy meals that tire you and strain your body.

Answer 5

Move your body don't let it go down and keep your head up.

Do not focus in what provokes your depression, focus in good feelings and opposite to the ones provoke it your depression.

Review what you said to your self, if you notice somethings that push you down removed from your thoughts and tell your self positive things and remember you are unique.

Ice bag for 2 minutes by 5 minutes until is gone.

Answer 6

Treat your head ache with Acupuncture first.
Fear and failures, criticism, increase the depression. Be a bold and hard working person. You should have a self confidance. You should avoid some of your habits for which you are criticised.
You should follow meditation or Ram Nam Japa.

Answer 7

Hey, I know the best cure (in fact, I always use it myself :) ):

"Just Don't Take Your Problems Seriously".

here's why:

"99% of our problems are made by our own heads (not by other people). So, if we could use our heads to solve those problems - that would be cool. Thus, use your head to solve all your problems :)".

Really! Depression is just a way to run away from your problems, but they will pursue you. But, if you do not take them seriously - they won't be interested in you, and they will run away. :)


A psychologist ...
