自己治療自己憂鬱症的方法
It's not unusual to experience some of the signs of depression from time to time. But if the feelings are very strong all the time, there are things you can do to help yourself.
* Notice 'thinking errors'. Are you overgeneralising. For example, do you imagine every pain is a deadly disease? Do you tell yourself everything is going wrong when only one thing has gone wrong? Do you forget about the good things in life and concentrate on the bad?
* Balance frightening thoughts with reassuring statements.
* Occupy your mind. Concentrating on something can lift your mood.
* Exercise. Physical activity relaxes you and makes you feel good.
* Pay attention to the way you look.
* Eat a regular diet of wholefoods. Vitamin B6 supplements are helpful too.
* Try a herbal antidepressant. St John's Wort can be effective (but you shouldn't mix it with other medication - consult your GP or a professional herbalist for advice).
* Avoid alcohol. It's a depressant, even if it makes you feel temporarily better.
* Investigate alternative and complementary therapies.
