is there anyother way apart from meditation to overcome the Depressions..?

Answer 1

Exercise, healthy diet and St. John's Wort (can be purchased at any health food store or Wal-Mart). It helps by stabilizing your hormones to get you back on track.

Answer 2

I am assuming you mean medication? Everyone gets depressed, it is that simple, however, to be diagnosed with depression is another matter. The National Institute of Mental Helath (NIMH) writes:

"What is Depression?

Depression is a serious medical illness; it’s not something that you have made up in your head. It’s more than just feeling "down in the dumps" or "blue" for a few days. It’s feeling "down" and "low" and "hopeless" for weeks at a time.

Signs & Symptoms
Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed

Treatment

A variety of treatments including medications and short-term psychotherapies have proven effective for depression."

So the severity of your depression will dictate your treatment. Depression is a hormonal inbalnace and many times the medication is needed to get the hormones back into balance. Seratonin is the mood regulator. If your body is not getting enough, it will suffer depression. The medication allows for the uptake of seratonin. Most perople who suffer from depression will also do counseling. Many will be able to eventually stop taking the medication, but not all. I personally have taken Prozac twice and have a tendency towards depression. Therefore, I and my husband do watch for any personality changes taht may occur in me. In addition, I exercise often as that helps to combat depression. Depression is a genetic disorder and so my son has a higher possiblity of deveolping depression than someone with no family history of the disease. I found that taking the medication was a god send and after three years was able to stop after weaning off. There are side effects but they were minor in comparison to the very real threat of suicide that I had faced. You have to make your own decision and it should be based on facts and not misiformation. Do some reasearch and talk with your doctor.

Answer 3

Yes. I've suffered through depression throughout my life. When I was in my teens and twenties the feelings would last for months at a time. Yes, I had thoughts of suicide.

I now know that many other people have severe depressions also. I found the answer in activity. You have to get up out of bed, get out of your room and your house and do something. It really doesn't matter what you do. Just get active!

In the last ten years I've discovered medication. It can be very good. I've had so much depression that I can now feel it "coming on" almost like a scratchy throat precedes a cold. When I do I take Wellbutrin and it goes away. After a few weeks I stop taking the medicine and the depression usually is gone.

Mention your depression to the next doctor you see. He'll take it seriously. PS: Don't tell him you've considered suicide (unless you are serious about it) becuase doctors are required to refer you to mental health for that.

Answer 4

During the winter time when the sun is in hiding, i go out and buy a full spectrum light bulb as known as a plant light, it omits all the colors of the rainbow, i sit under it when i read or do my crafts. I also use it for light therapy.
sit in front of the light with your eyes closed for one minuet and rub your eyes and repeat, at the beginning of each day. Some days i see the red, others the yellow, and other days i see the blue, it helps to raise my mood. I suffer from SAD ( seasonal adjustment disorder) and this helps to get my day started on a good note. You may also want to eat sun foods. Oranges, clementines, grapefruits, etc.

Answer 5

There are a lot of ways to overcome depression. What is causing your depression? Is it seasonal? Or related to an incident that recently happened in your life, or is it just long going (chronic)? How old are you? Have you seen a physician for treatment? Have you tried any of the prescription medicines used to treat depression? Is the reason for writing here today because you want to go only natural methods? For one thing you need someone to talk to about this. Please write back and tell us more about yourself.
