People often is in a state of depression.
Plans for the future, live chat with friends, refusal (briefly) from the social networks… These and other such simple actions will help keep symptoms of depression.
1. Review your vision for the future
It is considered that because of the depression we tend pessimistic about the future. But recent studies show the opposite: a really bad mood and cause depression. So it makes sense to try to withdraw (once and for all) of these thoughts:
“Tomorrow there will be nothing good.”
“No matter what I did, nothing happens.”
“In the future I do not Shine.”
It is our vision of the future as utter horror causes apathy, depression, and the result is a vicious circle. To avoid this, you need to look at everything that happens to you, from a different angle. And then you probably will find something good.
2. The Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet, which includes fruits, vegetables and legumes, prevents depression, as one of its possible causes can be lack of essential nutrients.
3. Live chat
Meetings, trips or visits reduce the likelihood of depression by about half. At the same time (attention!) phone call or active message forwarding has no such effects. Says the psychologist Allan Theo (Alan Teo): “First, we have assumed that any social contact can be beneficial to mental health. But the survey found that conversations with family and friends on the phone or the Network does not have such significance.”
4. Find a company
Quite a long time it was believed that contact with people is not suitable for those prone to depression. Now, however, these assumptions are refuted by new information. To cope with the symptoms of depression helps identification with some group of people. Those who clearly identified themselves as part of some group (therapy group or book club), told me that you feel the support and they are pleased that they are not alone.
5. Do not use social networks at least a week
The sociologist May-Lee Steers (Mai-Ly Steers) believes that comparing myself to those with whom you communicate in the Network can lead to depression. It is obvious that no one puts in social networks reports of their failures. All talk only about the good without mentioning how much they had to endure on the way to victory. Reading these messages in social networks, one begins to think that life is made of successes and achievements. And comparing your life with someone else, depressed. In real life rarely happens one successful startup every day.
6. Resort to the “method of Socrates”
A technique called the “Socratic Method” helps many to get rid of the symptoms of depression. It is a dialogue in which both parties have in advance the answer to seemingly obvious questions. For example, if a person is uncomfortable because of the divorce, you can ask:
If divorce is bad?
Think of someone for whom divorce would be a mistake.
How exactly do you bind yourself for divorce and failure?
