Psychologists call the depressed state of people one of the main psychological problems of modern mankind. You can try to cope with this problem yourself, but do not forget about professional medical care!
In simple terms, depression is an extremely depressed state of a person, characterized by a lack of mood, indifference to everything that happens, inability to reason reasonably and adequately, inability to communicate normally with people, etc.
One of the most common methods of dealing with a depressed person is to fortify his body. Actually, the absence of certain vitamins in the autumn-spring period in most cases provokes the occurrence of depression. Psychologists advise more to lean on fruits (apples, oranges, bananas, mangoes, pineapples) and vegetables (beets, tomatoes, carrots, greens).
Depression can occur due to the psychological imbalance of a person. Emotionally, health goes out of control, causing depression of the body, loss of vital energy and the “lethargic sleep” of the mind.
If there is no way to provide yourself with a natural vitamin diet, then you can resort to using special tabletted vitamin-mineral complexes sold in pharmacies. Doctors recommend using the following brands of drugs: Biorhythm Multivitamins, Revit, Aevit, Hexavit, Alphabet. It will not be amiss to include marine foods, chocolate, nuts and cottage cheese in your diet.
The next way to deal with a depressive state is to change life "scenery". Psychologists say that sometimes people can become depressed precisely because of the routine (uniformity) of their lives. Therefore, it is certainly necessary to make bright colors. For example, it would not hurt to go to the cinema, to the planetarium, to the theater. You can rent mountain bikes and ride in the picturesque areas of your city (for example, in parks and squares).
Adverse effects on a person of biological factors can make him depressed. For example, even the slightest hormonal disorder can lead to a sharp change in mood, and in the future - to depression.
An excellent way to get out of a depressed state is the so-called occupational therapy. No need to spend days on the couch with your face buried in a pillow and think about the inappropriateness of your own life. On the contrary, you need to find the strength in yourself to rise and do useful work. For example, you can carry out spring cleaning in the apartment with good music. You can help your friends dig up beds in the garden. You can play sports by signing up for the pool or in the gym.
If self-treatment does not bring the expected results, it is recommended to consult a psychologist. Only a specialist will be able to correctly assess the severity of the patient’s depressive state and prescribe the appropriate treatment: medication or psychological. If you do not consult a doctor on time, then otherwise depression may drag on and become an obsessive state.
Divorce is another cause of depression in people. According to statistics, more than 60% of Russian marriages break up, leaving their former spouses in an extremely depressed state. In this case, you should certainly consult a doctor.
This, in turn, is fraught with inpatient treatment in a closed psychological hospital. It is worth noting that for the medical treatment of depression, doctors prescribe a certain dosage of antidepressants (so as not to be addictive), and for the psychological - psychotherapy and a system of social measures aimed at improving the patient's condition.
