How Many Types of Depression Self-Help Are
There?
Exploring alternative depression self help
treatments
Depression
help is usually divided
into two categories. The first is help using medicines or going the
medical route. This is usually the first course of treatment. The
second part is using
self help. You can find out about medicines from
your medical practitioner, psychologist, therapist. Since this site is
dedicated to alternative
forms of depression self help, we’ll
be
discussing that.
As you already know, there are several forms of
alternative depression help. Some are also country specific. They have
developed as part of the traditions in certain countries. Others are
alternative medicinal, cognitive and also stuff that other
‘normal’
people do. You might wonder why I say ‘normal’
people…you see, everyone
in this world, and I mean everyone, has their own little kinks. But of
course you and I both know that there is still a difference between a
‘normal’ person and a depressed person. Coming back
to alternative
therapies, all are proven to work to alleviate depression.
We’re now
going to see an overview of these alternative treatments.
Remember
that we talked about country specific treatments? These were not
developed to cure depression. But they were developed to help people
live better. The following treatments are known and have been developed
over 1000s of years.
One of them is Acupuncture.
This is a
Chinese technique. Here the focus is on puncturing specific points of
the body with needles. This helps to release energy and help the energy
system of the body flow better. A more contemporary treatment is Reflexology. This
is a treatment using massage to relax the various
pressure points of the body. Another contemporary therapy is Aromatherapy. The
fragrance of Lavender is calming. Aromatic
oils can
also be used for massage. Another ancient treatment is Yoga. This was
developed in India and there are various forms. However the basic
premise of Yoga is a mind-body synergy. Yoga is basically a lifestyle.
But maybe you don’t want to change your whole lifestyle.
We’ll now talk
about other alternative depression help treatments that don’t
require
you to do that.
How about some fun
things you can do to
alleviate depression. One of them is Art therapy. This
consists of
painting, or drawing; acting, theatre, or also writing. Art therapy is
good because it allows you to freely express your
feelings. Especially
painting and drawing. But you might not be into painting, so this is
something you can try next.
Music therapy
has also been proven
to work. As you know Music consists of sound. All sound produces
certain brain
waves in us. Certain music makes us tense, others make us happy.
“I
use the music to vent, and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about
or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety, stress and
depression, so that's how the album came out so dark.”
Vanilla Ice
Put on some happy music and see how you feel.

was a quick overview of some alternative depression self help
treatments. I hope that you’ve found this article useful. If

few alternative treatments for depression, I’ll be writing
