I know people who suffer from
depression. They’re usually intelligent and gifted, but this dark affection
hovers intermittently, leaving them shattered. Doctor explains that imbalances
in certain brain chemicals, often a sudden drop in their levels, are a cause.
So pills to boost those chemicals are often prescribed. One in ten of us suffers from depression at some point in our lives,
reveal epidemiological studies done by The National Institute of Mental Health
and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Banglore (India).
There’s good evidence that some of them really help, especially if you
have mild to moderate depression. Drug-free treatments can also be
useful complement to antidepressants and may help prevent you developing mental
health problem too.
Here are seven of the best:
Get
Moving: Do exercise, if sport doesn't grab
you, dancing might. One study suggested that Salsa can be an effective
pick-me-up.
Do
something out of doors: One of the best things is that looking
at trees & flowers, So called “green” exercise, also known as ecotheraphy,
covers tending animals, environmental work, cycling and gardening as well.
Follow
the game: Watch Football or Cricket or any other
game that create sense of belonging.
Get
on the virtual couch: Free on the internet
Eat
properly: Mediterranean diet rich in fruits,
nuts , whole grains and fish cut chances of becoming depressed by over a third.
Sing
your heart out.Sing a song loud
