How To Beat Depression Without Medication

People often become depressed about marital, romantic, or family problems. For example, one study found an unhappy marriage increased the risk of clinical depression 25 times over untroubled marriages. A personal loss often triggers depression: divorce, separation, loss of a job, the end of a love relationship, physical or mental problems from old age, the death of a loved one, etc. Many stressful events or major changes may also help bring on depression. Going away to college or moving far away from family and friends after getting married may lead to depression. No matter how much you wanted to have a child, the resulting loss of freedom may cause depression. When children grow up and leave home, you may become depressed. Retirement can lead to depression because of loss of work activities to fill the day and loss of friendships with coworkers.

People often wonder how to beat depression without medication, the treatment is a process! First you should start with this simple 7-steps:

5 parts to start on how to beat depression without medication

Part 1

Choose whole grain, such as quinoa or oatmeal. You really should avoid simple sugars from refined carbohydrates sources such as candies or soda. Research shows that carbohydrates promote the release of mood-elevating serotonin in the brain, but simple sugars cause a sharp spike in blood sugar and followed by a crash. This could have a negative influence on mood.

Part 2

Eat 2 1/2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day, especially those rich in folic acid, such as dark, leafy greens. Low folic acid intake has been associated with depression and a lesser effectiveness of antidepressant medications.

Part 3

Eat fish three times per week, especially fatty fish, such as salmon. The omega-3 fatty acids in these types of fish provide mood-protecting benefits. A fish intake of less than once per week has been associated with mild to moderate depression.

Part 4

Participate in regular physical activity, such as walking or biking which can ease the symptoms of depression. Aim for 30 minutes, three to five times per week. The exact reason physical activity benefits depression is not fully clear, but it is associated with enhancing feel-good endorphins, reducing the stress hormone cortisol, relieving muscle tension and improving sleep.

Part 5

Pay attention to your dietary intake and understand that foods have the potential to affect mood, which can enhance the effectiveness of other treatments for depression, such as medications.

Then what? How to beat depression continuously?

Once you could follow the 5-part mentioned above, then there is such a cure! And it only involves the use of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) techniques which can be done at home, and some dietary and lifestyle changes.

You see, the pharmaceutical and medical industry is driven by profits, not benefits to patients. That’s why they keep designing drugs that are expensive, of limited effectiveness, and that need to be taken continuously for years.  That’s the perfect combination for ensuring ever-increasing profits.  

An example of such shameless profiteering on a large scale is the wide prescription of statins for anyone with even borderline high cholesterol. Statins actually have very limited effectiveness, are associated with a number of side-effects, and…guess what…once a person starts taking them, they will need to keep taking them for their whole lives! Not so surprising is it?

If you think about it, when was the last time a pharmaceutical company cured anything? It is the same with the drugs they prescribe for depression – no medical professional or anyone involved in the industry will want you to discover that you can cure yourself of depression for just a few dollars, when they can get you to pay thousands upon thousands in your lifetime for their “latest wonder-drug”, or charge you a small fortune just to sit in a leather chair and listen to you talk for one hour a week, without ever offering any solutions or guarantees.
