How to deal with depression at home

The causes of depressive states, their signs and methods of elimination

To understand how to deal with depression, you must first decide what it is. After all, this state is comprehensively and methodically spoils the life of a person: relationships with relatives, close and colleagues deteriorate sharply, the efficiency of work falls noticeably, and just in everyday life «Fatty» All habitual cases.

Any depression as a pathological condition in the human body consists of three components:

1. Negative mood fluctuations;
2. Vegetative disorders;
3. Pathological fatigue.

Racing mood

The first component is not just dried mood, a person becomes sad and depressed, and remains so more than two weeks. He has a mood jumping throughout the day, and not necessarily equally every day. In the life of such a person «Murknut» All paints. Life becomes gray, dim and uninteresting.

Bad mood can be very different shades: longing, anxiety, despair, irritability or indifference.

Sometimes the mood in humans may be more or less stable, but pain appears in the body, the reason for which it is not possible to establish. Quite often, anxious depression occurs as an answer to the protracted stressful situation.

The man in such a state is afraid to fall asleep, waiting for nightmares, is all the time in fear of relatives and loved ones.

In some cases, the so-called obsessive states arise (on the chair on the chair or walking from the corner in the angle). Very severe alarm can be transformed into panic attacks (a person lacks air, he has a heartbeat, a trembling, chills or heat appears).

With other types of depression, except anxious, man, on the contrary, slows down. It becomes harder to think, he seriously worsens memory, attention, is missing, as a rule, concentration.

There is fatigue from simple things, such as viewing TV or reading books. It becomes extremely difficult to force yourself to perform everyday duties: to clean up or spend, wash the dishes or prepare food and t.NS. Moreover – these processes seem «victim» inexpedient or completely unbearable.

Brake processes cover the whole body. It becomes difficult to focus, read, think and memorize. And even resting at half a day, a person does not fall out and feels broken.

Vegetative violations

The second component of depression is vegetative violations. If the therapist, a cardiologist and a neuropathologist excluded the objective diseases of the respective organs in humans, then dizziness or pain in the head, frequent urination or false urges, diarrhea and constipation, lack of appetite, jumps of pressure or temperature and the most common pain in the heart – all vegetative signs Depression.

Asthenia

The third component of depression is asthenic. It implies fatigue, meteo-dependence, irritability, and sometimes a plasticity.

Here is such a multi-faceted and multifaceted depression, which may spoil the life to you or someone from your loved ones. If you «identified» the enemy for some signs, then, first of all, it is necessary to understand what caused her appearance.

Provoke the occurrence of this state can anything: a protracted stress of the house or at work, sad events in the family, a human disease or his loved ones, even just a change of seasons. And sometimes the reason for depression can be a joyful event.

Postpartum depression

Often, this is how the postpartum depression arises. This condition causes the hormone difference, experienced pain, fears and fears caused by a new role «Mom» And, of course, the infinite requirements of the kid.

Especially the high risk of postpartum depression in women who impose a certain sample behavior. So, often a young mother can before childbirth or after presenting a certain ideal (mother, grandmother, mother-in-law), which three (five) children raised or alone without her husband climbed, or lived in a house without water and with stove heating.

Not able to cope with one child, the new Mom feels its inferiority relatively with heroic «samples for imitation» and flows into a depressive state. It is emphasized that precisely hormones play an important role in such a situation, which are very distorting the normal perception of events.

Let’s try to figure out how to deal with postpartum depression. To that «Beast» You can approach different sides:

1. To begin with, Vysaitsa! It is clear that the baby will not cease to wake up at night and ask to eat, and sometimes just talk. But whoever prevents you from rarely, when your happiness turned off after another happy communication at night;
2. Everyone will not have time everywhere, and it’s not worth striving for this too. Who said you should blame? Perfect Mom, Mother or Sister? So let them come and show you a negligence as it should be. Connect them and husband to your homework;

5. Join your husband’s problem. Do not be silent! Very often a woman arouses himself guesses how much she «Weight» For him, and he, on the contrary, admire his wife as Madonna, but does not touch her in bed for her for herself so that she slept;
6. Learn to relax or remove tension. You can do yoga or self-sufficiency – remember the movie «The most charming and attractive»? Here and repeat! You can wash cold water or climb the pillow. And you can, together with your husband, fight pillows or together to send plates in the kitchen. All problems are solved, believe me;
7. Find assistants. After all, very often all problems can be solved by just hiring a nanny or housekeeper. Or just to invite the neighbor Babu Dosu, who will gladly look with your little while you are a household dish, floors or finish any other «necessary»;
8. If you didn’t help you – walk to the specialist, because your depression can affect your child’s mental health.

Autumn depression

There is another cunning type of depression that lies almost every person – Autumn Handra. In the period when all nature is slow down and falls asleep, a person, like her part, is quite natural, too, starts slowing down.

Sometimes it is caused by objective reasons, such as vitaminosis, nonlands in the family or at work, and sometimes such a state arises due to a sharp cooling. But, most often, such a process is associated with the subconscious reluctance to let go warm, bright and so interesting summer.

As fighting autumn depression or prevent it? In fact, in this case, everything is very simple.

Make your life brighter, give yourself a maximum of pleasant:

1. Lack of vitamins can be replenished with pharmacy tablets, and can be fruits and vegetables. Yes, in the autumn they cost a little more expensive than in the summer, but they are such bright, juicy, tasty – do not deny yourself;
2. Add brightness to your life. It can be anything, new curtains, through which even the most dull morning light will be bright. You can buy warm clothes for the winter in bright and juicy colors, draw a sun marker on the window;
3. Listen to pleasant music, preferably calm;
4. Do the needlework or start drawing;
5. Give your body work. Physical activity is the best medicine. The tired body will once be thought of and even more so about the bad.

Because probably mom or someone close (girlfriend, husband, children) will help you get rid of the negative and return to normal life. Be cheerful, full of strength and happy!
