How can depression be better treated without medication?
1. Cognitive Behavior Therapy
It is a kind of therapy for our brain. It changes the way we think and act on our behavior.
2. Exercise:
Exercise 30 minutes every day for 5 days a week. Such as cycling, jogging, swimming, brisk walking etc.
3. Proper diet:
# Don't eat: Processed foods, refined carbohydrates
# Reduce eating: sugar and caffeine
# Eat: Lots of fruits, vegetables and non-vegetarian food.
Routine: 18: 6 formula (18 hours of drinking only water and the remaining 8 hours of eating)
4. Sleep: If you have depression, you need 8-9 hours of sleep. Try to go to bed before 10 pm.
5. Control your stress:
- Give some work responsibilities to others.
- Reduce work pressure on yourself.
- Work on your relationships.
- Combine expectations and realities.
- Learn to forgive.
. Avoid the company of negative people
Find a friend or sibling or neighbor who is not judgmental or who will easily judge you or make you feel bad. If you do not find such a person, go to a trusted counselor.
. Try to reach people
Do something very simple, feed 2 poor people every day and take good care of them. Do this for 1 month.
. Find a purpose in life:
Find your passion / favorite place and skills. If you can't find it yourself, get help from a parent, friend, teacher or someone close to you. If no one can help, find your passion / favorite place and skills with the help of your counselor.
If you do these things for 1 month, then most of the mild to moderate depression will go away or go away.
However, it is best to consult a psychiatrist for severe depression
