In this article, we shall discuss about early warning signs of depression and how to treat it naturally, without going to a doctor or taking medicines for it. A big mistake which a lot of people make when diagnosed with depression is that they start taking medications for it. You may be surprised to know that in more than 50% cases, medication is not at all effective. Patients don't seem to feel much relief even after continued use of medicines.
Another negative is that medications can cause harmful side effects which can spoil your health. Patients, after taking the medications for many days, report problems like insomnia, weight gain or weight loss, hypertension, feelings of nausea etc.
Apart from these, the results gained by taking medications are usually limited. Many patients do not feel any improvement at all in their depressive condition. So we should try to avoid medication and only take them if the depression condition becomes extreme.
Almost all of us experience depressive or negative thoughts and emotions sometimes. This is quite normal. However if these feelings persist for a long time, then we need to consider getting it treated.
If you continue to feel depressive and sad thoughts even after many days and weeks have passed since a disturbing event occurred, then you need to consider getting some form of treatment.
There are various treatment options available. You can consult a doctor or a psychologist for help. But the problem is that most people cannot afford to hire the services of a psychologist. They also feel hesitant to approach one as they fear that other people might make fun of them.
In such cases, they can go for self-help treatments. There are many techniques which people can learn and start applying on their own without much outside help. Such self help treatments are usually inexpensive, but they require will power and discipline on the part of the patient.
Before start any treatment for depression, make completely sure that you indeed are suffering from this problem. How can you be sure? You can look out for some common symptoms and warning signs. There are many forms of depression. You also need to classify what form of depression is affecting you.
Here are a few early warning signs and symptoms of depression:
feelings of sadness and grief,
anxious thoughts,
feeling lonely,
feeling sad without any reason,
extreme tiredness and fatigue
difficulty in sleeping,
difficulty in concentrating ,
getting irritated easily
Conclusion:
Let me repeat this important advice again don't take medication in the first instance. Avoid them as much as possible and opt for natural treatments. Use medications only in extreme cases.
