Finding the right Depression Treatment

by Hari om Agrawal Retired engineer & websites owner

Studies show that approximately 300 million suffer from depression all over the world. The symptoms of depression are constant and they affect all aspects of life from work to home and food to sleep! Sleep disorders or issues are major signs of depression. One should understand the connection between sleep and depression

Starting with depression, the person suffering will have a persistent sense of loss of interest, sadness, inadequacy, and hopelessness in this medical condition. The worst part about depression is that most of the people suffering from it are not even aware of it. Apart from this, if a person is depressed, he would be very less inclined towards maintaining good health or physique, in other words, he will not be much keen to look after his body. In addition, some people avoid treatment even after knowing their condition just because they feel it be awkward or embarrassing.

In the world of research, the relationship between obesity and depression is a two-way road because while some people argue that depressed people are at a higher risk of becoming obese. The reason behind this is said to be that the chemical imbalances in the brain that are induced by depression lead to obesity. Here the primary hormones involved are serotonin and cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that enhances the appetite, stores fats, and produces glucose in the body. It is secreted when the person is stressed. This means if someone is stressed out, he will have a constant secretion of cortisol in his blood leading to a strong urge to eat that would further lead to fat storage and eventually obesity.

Treatment for depression: 

This illness may seem quite simple to treat but in reality, it takes more than a little cheering up to actually cure depression. Depression treatment actually starts with the patient openly acknowledging his or her illness, by just being honest with one’s self, it’ll be a lot easier not only for the doctor but for the patient most of all, to actually cure depression and find an appropriate depression treatment for him or her. Constant visits to cognitive behavior therapy is a must as well as taking all the prescribed medicines that the doctor will ask the patient to take and face depression head-on through the various depression treatments that are available today.

Psychotherapy, a popular type of depression treatment actually includes short-term therapy sessions, usually from ten to twenty weeks promising to actually be able to make positive results for the depression patient. This type of depression treatment actually helps the individual by slowly making them to actually open up about their feelings, the root of their problems, more so, the root of their depression. Healthy verbal exchanges between the cognitive behavior therapist and the depression patient are great depression treatment that’ll positively affect the depression patient by helping him or her discuss and talk about whatever they’ve been keeping inside.

 Yoga for inner peace is one of the most effective and healthy ways that may also help to get relief from depression
