FIGHTING STRESS AND DEPRESSION


In our daily and stressful routine, we tend to neglect the needs of our mind. Our mind is tuned to do many straining tasks in the day but at the same time, it is very important for the brain to get proper amount of rest as well. That is why doctors recommend that we get a sleep of 7 proper hours, undisturbed. This is necessary so that the brain can relax and get refreshed for the functioning of the entire next day. A proper sleep is important for the health of not just the brain but also the body. The more you strain either the mind of the body, the more it affects the other and also your daily life. 

This process that we mentioned above is called stress management. Having a good amount of time dedicated to relaxing in our busy schedule is also very important. You can meditate, do yoga, play some sports, listen to good music, exercise and little, read books, dance and there are so many other activities that you can do to relax both your body and mind. As we are raising awareness for stress, it is also important to raise awareness about depression help. Depression is a mental condition in which a person tends to feel sad and helpless almost all the time without even any specific reason.

Studies have shown that many depression patients have confessed on feeling numb and bearing a feeling of nothingness in their hearts. Even if the world around them is happy, their life is supposedly successful and very happening, they feel a sense of void, an emptiness from within which they might not be able to tell the world about, for the fear of being judged or laughed at. All they need at such times is a non-judgemental ear who listens to them patiently and empathetically and then provides a solution to them. In some extreme cases, the therapist might have to prescribe medicines to the patient along with some exercises to help them out.

A family therapist in Mumbai suggests that always look out for symptoms of depression in a person if they seem to behave oddly all of a sudden. Not everyone goes silent and not every is all chirpy. Different people have different ways of showing symptoms. As close ones to someone you care about, it becomes important to watch out for these symptoms. Unfortunately, sometimes people do not even know that what they are going through is depression and it can be curable. For this raising awareness all over is very important. Other than this, it is important to make them feel comfortable and also make them believe that help is very easy to get if they take one step ahead. Acceptance is the first step towards liberation from this misery. 

There are many NGOs today that work for the welfare of these patients. Fighting against depression is not an easy battle, but it does not mean that it cannot be won.

HOW CHILDHOOD SCARS AFFECT ADULTHOOD

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives.

But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it.
