| Depression And Food - The Link | | 2008-07-11 04:59:00 | | What we eat is a factor that greatly affects how we feel. Most people don’t really notice that what we put into our bodies affects our moods. Sure we know that if we eat too much sugar we get a rush, just to crash emotionally, or when we have too many Adult Alcohol Beverages we will feel hung over, but we are often unaware of how other foods may make us feel anxiety and depression.In our current fast food, over-processed food nation it's harder to eat the feel good foods. Over-processed foods do not supply our brains with the right nutrients for healthy mental health. Here are some thoughts about our processed foods:A hundred years ago food was grown without pesticides in naturally vital soil.

| Natural Depression Treatments | | 2008-06-13 02:57:47 | | by Jonathan AntenucciDepression is a serious illness, and it has been shown to affect no less than 6% of any sample population (America for example) at any given period. This means that many people in any given population, especially in the more industrialized countries, will be taking prescription drugs like Paxil or Prozac. These drugs have been out for many years now, even decades, and their production increased every year, yet there is also a steady increase in the number of depressed people in the U.S. and throughout the world. One can only infer from these facts that synthetic prescription medications for depression are not curing people of depression.What's more, most antidepressants have very serious, sometimes even fatal, side effects or withdrawal effects. Many studies have shown that large percentages of people will experience at least one side effect from any given depression medication, and one recent study found the average side effect rate for the most effective depressi | | By: Danta's Articles | | |

| Depression - How To Beat It | | 2008-06-13 02:48:36 | | by William McRandNo one can or should ignore this feeling. It is universal and the blues are very much ingrained in our world. Music and movies are legendary in handling this subject. If the feeling is too overwhelming, then sometimes professional help is the desired action. We will just talk here about the funk of depression, the knotted thinking that nothing is right and it will only get worse. The following things are suggested to help: 1. Laughing is the best medicine is an old adage, but so true. It is amazing how when you are depressed, just laughing about something and releasing the stress, can make you feel better. If you are having trouble finding something to laugh about, maybe you can find some people to keep close that cheer you up, that you can call when you feel bad, those who you know will let you apply the "strength in numbers" theory. Invite a few good friends over just to talk and have an appetizer and you will see how much better you feel afterwards. 2. Listening to | | By: Danta's Articles | | |

| Depression at Work Five Signs and Symptoms | | 2008-06-13 02:39:04 | | by Mitamins TeamDepression is one of the many mental conditions that seems totally mysterious to those who have never experienced it. And even those patients who have been diagnosed with depression symptoms often believe that it’s a “personal” dilemma that won’t be a problem outside of their households.However, the real truth is that depression can just as significantly affect you at work as it does at your residence or during your personal time. Here, we’ll examine just a how depression symptoms show themselves on the job; and why depression treatment, such as antidepressants or whole foods methods, are options you need to consider.Depression Symptom #1: Poor WorkYou’ve always been a good worker, and you’ve always been able to efficiently get any task accomplished on or before time.

Many depression sufferers are completely unaware of it. They just go about their lives with no idea that they could be feeling a lot better and enjoying life a lot more.Even though it's probably not something you think about, your mood is a huge factor in your life. Feel bad; you'll do less, be less motivated and create less opportunities to make life better. Thoughts can cause emotions. Seems obvious doesn't it? But what's not obvious is that by changing the way you think you can vastly improve how you feel. The main aim of CBT is learning to identify irrational, distorted and unhelpful thoughts and replace them with helpful ones.Negative Automatic ThoughtsThese thoughts often come from deep beliefs we have about ourselves and the world, and they are usually just one way of looking at a situation.

| How to Beat Depression and to prevent it from Coming Back | | 2008-06-13 02:21:44 | | by Alex MatisThe diagnosis “depression”, while it may sound terrible to the one suffering from this mental disorder in the first instance, actually has lost much of its scariness over the past decades due to much better means to beat depression than available in the past. In addition, the causes of depression are also known in much more detail leading to an increased likelihood to find further new treatments to beat depression within the next years. The first line of treatment for depression sufferers is without doubt the use of anti-depressants prescribed by a medical practitioner, usually combined with some kind of talk therapy by a psychotherapist. In cases of mild depression the use of alternative methods to beat depression, such as herbal remedies (in particular St. John’s wort) may be indicated. Apart of those treatment options, which are more or less driven by the patient’s doctor, there are many supportive measures a depressed patient can and should actively use in orde | | By: Danta's Articles | | |

Many times, depression may cause a person to spend less time with others, and to spend less time doing things that they once enjoyed doing. Depression is not good on your health! Those suffering from depression may face memory problems, sleep problems or a need to sleep excessively, a sense of hopelessness and an inability to join the rest of the world. As depressing as it may seem, there are around 19 million Americans who suffer from this. It could be due to a death of a loved one, a divorce, not being able to forgive someone, or just because you are overweight. Some feel depression as a result of learning that they have a health condition such as breast cancer, Endometriosis, Diabetes, Myasthenia Gravis, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Cystic Fibrosis, Fibromyalgia, or some other.

| Herbs for Depression: A Suitable Alternative to Depression Pharmaceuticals? | | 2008-06-13 02:02:18 | | by Alex MatisHerbs for depression are often seen as a viable alternative to pharmaceutical treatment of depression. However, actual data showing an effectiveness of herbs for depression is rare and thus it is currently hardly possible to make a final verdict on the usefulness of herbal treatment for depression in general. Also, there seems to be only limited interest from western medicine to study the effects of herbs for depression in a clinically relevant setting. So from a patient’s perspective the question remains: What is the evidence that herbal treatment for depression works?

If you ever suffered from depression as a patient or had to deal with depression as someone close to a patient having this mental illness, you most certainly will have had doubts like this in your mind or will have had arguments about this question. It seems that many depression sufferers, especially if they have been hit by this illness recently, have serious doubts about the effectiveness of depression medication. In many cases they can recall stories from patients who did not have success in treating depression via one depression treatment method or another.

| How To Treat Depression With Herbs | | 2008-06-13 01:41:41 | | by Michael HaydonDepression affects millions of people around the world. It is considered by experts to be on of the greatest hidden conditions affecting not only the lifestyles of sufferers but also their families, friends and employers. In fact, the condition can last from moments of simply “feeling down” or “a bit blue”, to weeks of worry and complete debilitation. Depression, What is it? At its worst, depression is labeled “Clinical depression”. This is best understood as a complete overwhelming emotion of sadness and helplessness. It can also be experienced as a period of utter despair without hope of escape. Sufferers lose the ability to express their feelings at this stage and the spiral continues to draw them into a seemingly endless spiral of fear. In this state, people can lose their appetite, and lose touch with friends and family. Their employment also suffers, and they may be at risk of suicide.

I sat there for what felt like forever and finally replied that I did not feel anything at all which was the only thing that I could come up with. Thinking back I realized that a very simple question required a rather complex answer.The goal of this post is to come up with a list of examples of answers that I could have used when my doctor asked that simple yet very important question.1. I feel that I am watching my life like it is a movie. Trapped in a theater seat unable to change the outcome of what is taking place in front of me.2. That I am dying. That pieces of my soul are slowly leaving my body and soon there will be nothing left of me.3. That I am in a battle for my life, a life I have no interest in saving.4. It hurts.

| Treating Depression And Battling The Demons Depression Can Bring | | 2008-06-09 22:25:19 | | Oh what a tough condition depression is to tackle. It can be very hard to treat depression because there are so many variables. First of all you must recognize that there is even an issue to address and then you must be willing to get professional help to help treat the condition. Then not only must you recognize the problem, and seek treatment but you must be willing to stick with the treatment for the long term. Treating depression is not a quick solution. One of the ways in which you may treat depression is with an antidepressant medication. This group of medications works on the neurotransmitters, known as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, which have an affect on your feelings of happiness, well being and overall emotion. Another treatment for depression typically used in conjunction with medication is counseling. This method is aimed at getting to the root of the cause of depression so that it too can be dealt with in hopes of a long term solution to depression. The | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| Two Types Of Depression: Major Depression And Dysthymia | | 2008-06-09 22:25:19 | | Apart of Manic Depressive Disorder (also called Bipolar Disorder) the two main known types of depression are Major Depression and Dysthymia. Both types of depression can easily be distinguished from each other although intertype episodes, especially of Major Depression in Dysthymia patients, are commonly experienced. So what are the differences between those two types of depression? Major Depression Arguably Major Depression is the mental disorder that a layman would associate with the term “depression”. As the name of the illness implies it is the case that patients suffering from this type of depression show many or even all classic signs of depression in their most severe form. Such symptoms include a change in natural sleep patterns leading to excessive sleepiness and / or insomnia; a loss of appetite, motivation and drive even for simple activities and ones, which had previously been enjoyed by the patient; (often unexplainable) deep sadness; anxiety episodes; the inability to | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| Depression And Essential Depression Treatment | | 2008-06-09 22:25:19 | | If you are depressed all of the time and don’t know why, then you need to seek medical care and see if you can find a way to get to the bottom of your condition which could be something serious such as depression. Depression strikes more women than men and is often a series of rapid cycling into mania and the deepest and darkest elements of depression. What makes matters worse is that people don’t realize why they are depressed and because they can’t seem to pin point it then they simply push it aside and accept it enabling the depression to get the upper hand in the depressed individual’s life. While you may want to understand why you are depressed, it may be more important to recognize that you have a deeper problem such as depression which is causing you to lose valuable time from work while missing out on a great number of life and family events.

The studies lead researcher Dr. Mercedes R.

Having spent six years of my life teaching in a high schook classroom, and five years of my life ministering to teenagers as a parish youth minister, I've seen all too many cases of depression among teenagers.In fact, in thinking back to my years working with teens, there were entirely too many kids who had serious bouts with depression. And, sadly, in most cases, the kids who were extremely depressed often didn't know what recourse they had to get better — and they often had no defining moment of life event to point to as a cause for their depression. For many, the depression had no root cause — but that hardly meant the depression was any more or less important than the depression identified with a trigger by others.I suppose one of the reasons I alwa | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |

| How To Make Depression Worse | | 2008-04-26 17:51:00 | | I was thinking that there are a lot of blogs and lists out there on how to overcome depression but I do not remember any on how to actually make your depression worse. The whole reverse psychology thing comes to mind here that or maybe I have finally lost my mind anyway on with the list.1. Completely isolate yourself - One of the worse things that you can do is complete cut off all ties with society so your completely alone with your own thoughts. Wonderful idea and boy does it leave a mark.2. Believing the depression is going to go away on its own - This may work with cases of the blues where the person just needs a little bit of time and a Kleenex box to work through it but this will not work with Major Depressive Disorder. The solution might be medication or therapy or a combination of the two but the second you sit back and wait the illness is going to kick your butt.3.

| Housing slump could exceed drop of Great Depression: economist | | 2008-04-22 20:41:00 | | NEW HAVEN (Connecticut) - AN INFLUENTIAL economist who long predicted the housing market bubble cautioned on Tuesday that the slump in the US housing market could cause prices to fall more than they did in the Great Depression and bailouts will be needed so millions don't lose their homes.Yale University economist Robert Shiller, pioneer of the widely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index, said there's a good chance housing prices will fall further than the 30 per cent drop in the historic depression of the 1930s.Home prices nationwide already have dropped 15 per cent since their peak in 2006, he said.'I think there is a scenario that they could be down substantially more,' Mr Shiller said during a speech at the New Haven Lawn Club.Mr Shiller's Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index is considered a strong measure of home prices because it examines price changes of the same property over time, instead of calculating a median price of homes sold during | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| Most Online Rx Drug Searches Are For Depression Meds | | 2008-04-20 06:07:00 | | Judging from their Internet searches of prescription drugs, American consumers are depressed and experiencing some form of sexual dysfunction. According to new research from comScore Pharmaceutical Solutions, five of the most frequently searched prescription drugs for the month of February were depression treatments, while two treated erectile dysfunction.Lauren Kreiberg, senior manager of marketing solutions for comScore, says the anonymity of an Internet search gives consumers a level of freedom to seek out information about highly personal problems. She adds that the anonymity translates to the most commonly searched health conditions, which were topped by pregnancy and cancer, but also included depression, herpes, HIV and HPV.

| " August 2007 has developed into the largest financial shock since the Great Depression," the IMF declared. | | 2008-04-12 10:20:00 | | According to the IMF the global economy is quickly tanking. Don't believe the hyperbole though and examine the facts. "Economic growth in the United States is expected to slow to a crawl of just 0.5 percent this year, which would mark the worst pace in 17 years, when the country last suffered through a recession", the IMF said. Now folks that statement alone is misleading. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. While 0.5% growth is not spectacular, it's not negative growth, it's not a recession and it's not even close to a depression. Let's continue with the IMF statements. "The United States will not fare much better next year (2009); the IMF projected the U.S. economy will grow by a feeble 0.6 percent in 2009, when measured by an annual average." First of all, no one, let me repeat no one can predict what is going to happen a year from now.

| Information about Yoga for Depression | | 2008-03-31 00:14:00 | | Yoga is a relaxing form of exercise that can help alleviate depression. Meditation and yoga poses can help you attack the root cause of depression - the feeling that you can't handle the demands of your life. It tones the nervous system, stimulates circulation, promotes concentration, and energizes your mind and body. The first thing a depressed person stops doing is moving. Regular exercise becomes intolerable. But Yoga exercise, starting with as few as three poses a day in just a few minutes’ time, coupled with correct breath patterns, can become so pleasant to you that soon you will want to do more and more. The heavy, unmoving feeling of depression will be on the run! Yoga exercises put pressure on glands and organs, helping them to produce the soothing, healing chemical balance that is needed to feel well and be well. Yoga exercises improve circulation, sending invigorating oxygen to your brain and all your muscles. The stretching and strengthening movements flush toxins fr | | By: Yoga Training | | |

| Study on Male - Female Depression- Women Seek Help - Men Die | | 2008-03-20 19:40:00 | | Have you heard of Andropause? It is a biological change experienced by men during their mid-life, and is often compared to female menopause. While menopause relates to a cessation of reproductive ability, andropause refers to a diminishment of the key male hormone testosterone which can lead to a severe loss of energy, concentration and depression, mood swings resulting in uneccessary nastiness and spiteful behaviour towards others.I know first hand about menopause, been there, done that! I didn't know men had their "change of life." I'm learning about this through fellow blogger Cathy. She wrote a shocking post -Women seek help - men die. "Women seek help--men die." This conclusion was drawn from a study of suicide prevention conducted by a group of international researchers. They found that 75% of those who sought professional help in an institution for suicide prevention were female. Conversely 75% of those who committed suicide in the same year were male.
