In the first place let’s discuss what depression is? Various forms of psychological problems occur commonly in our country and all over the world. Depression mainly comes about one of them, and emotional state marked by sadness, feelings of worthlessness and guilt also withdrawal from others, loss of sleep, appetite, interest, and pleasure in usual activities. Depression often, associated with other psychological problems, in particular, panic attacks, substance abuse, sexual dysfunction, and personality disorders. People with depression are complete without hopes, anxious much of the time. They often love sitting alone instead of with someone else, remain silent, tend to behave in an abnormal manner, etc. Suicidal thoughts may also arrive in their mind.
People with depression don’t seek professional assistance or ask someone to hear their problem because they feel will they hear my problem? What if they judge me? Depression worst of all kills a person inside out. Henceforth, below mentioned are some of the procedures, a technique to reduce depression.
1. Building a Social Network
As can be seen, a healthy and supportive relationships can reduce and improve your overall health and sense of wellbeing as well. Building a network of supportive friends, or even just one supportive relationship, after all, can be vital to your wellbeing. Sharing problems, insecurities with your close friends often reduces stress. It involves helping people to evaluate and make sense of their troubles and problems. Altogether, try as much as you can to make a strong and supportive relationship with the best ones. This form of social support ultimately encompasses the concrete, direct ways people assist others.
2. Positive Attitude
On the whole, Positive health and well-being can be realized by having a positive attitude. Mainly some of the factors leading to a positive attitude are: having a fair accurate perception of reality, a sense of purpose in life and responsibility, acceptance and tolerance for different viewpoints of others, and taking credit for success and accepting blame for failure. Positive behavior thus especially enables an individual to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Finally, being open to new ideas, and having a sense of humor with the ability to laugh at oneself helps us to remain centered and see things in a proper perspective.
3. Self Care
Keeping oneself healthy, fit, and relaxed helps to reduce stress. Inaccurate beliefs can have a significant impact on self-care. Thinking about negative things all the time can kill a person internally and externally. Following daily routine specifically, consuming a proper diet, exercising, a supportive relationship, sharing problems, doing things rationally helps to reduce stress and mental illness. When a person seems stress-resistant he/she shows certain characteristics, for example, commitment to work, family, hobbies and social life, etc.
4. Improving Relationship
In the first place, what does a relationship mean? A relationship is primarily a connection between two people or more than two people. Which thereby includes, close connection, sharing of problems, insecurities, joys, and sorrows, etc. This relationship is known as a helping relationship. For a healthy relationship, communication is the best of all amongst all different terms. Communicating problems is affective in nature involving mild to strong emotional relationships. Always lend an ear to a friend or anyone who is going through a difficult phase instead of ignoring. When you communicate, share everything with your closed ones, it eventually helps to build a good and improves relationships bond. Especially, it occurs meaningful because it is personal and intimate.
5. Communication
The key to a sound lasting relationship is communication. This consists of essential skills mainly, expressing how you feel and what you think, accepting the other person’s opinion and feelings even if you don’t feel but, their opinion is quite the correct ones. Communication also requires us to avoid misplaced jealousy, sulky behavior, and misunderstanding. When you find a person in depression asks him straightaway what happened? Lend a hand. Appreciate him/her. Communicate, make them believe that you are with him/her when the whole world isn’t in support. To overcome such issues, communication eventually the best option to remain stress-free.
6. Request for help
At times, everyone feels depressed at a certain point. Some people prefer to sit alone and remain silent whereas others are agitated and cannot sit still. When depressed people confronted with a problem, it’s solution may not occur to them and may make numerous complaints. We may find some people overreacting to simple statements and situations while some may not. We perceive that they have some kind of psychological problem. These people who are often filled with depression tend to have suicidal thoughts running through their mind, they may feel the end is near. But, this isn’t the way to end a life so early where you have many friends. Sitting alone, not asking for help doesn’t make you get rid of depression but it kills inside out. Instead, seeking help from your friend, sharing all problems you face helps to deal with depression.
7. Family Members Help
A family is a group of people where there are 4 members or more than that. Often, we feel asking parents to help won’t be the easy way to get out of depression. Instead, we feel, we will get scoldings, we might no longer get to do things which we love too. We feel parents have almost total control over the young child. Instead, the experience is what plays a role. Our parents are an experienced person because they know what life is and how to overcome such situations. Parents also know how to tackle such situations. Being a coward instead of brave in front of parents won’t help to get out of mental illness.
8. Natural Therapy
Provided that, psychological help is available to a person who is emotionally disturbed to a person who is attempted suicide. This ranges from simple advice by a teacher or a wise person, consolation from a friend, parents, or relatives to a discourse delivered by a saint, priest, or a clergy person. All of these likewise make some impact on emotional healing. All these acts of people around us contain some elements of psychotherapy. This can be done by a trained person who deliberately establishes a professional relationship with a client, having problems of an emotional nature.
9. Meditation
Why do we support meditation? Because we not only make time to silence our mind but also bring to the fire a real feeling of relaxation. Meditation mainly helps to learn to control the relentless flow of thoughts. The main aim is to keep the mind still which brings clarity and inner peace. This is what the best type of relaxation is because we become free from relentless worries and anxieties of our own making. Everyone whether they are depressed or not should definitely find time to meditate for 10. To 15 minutes each day. Meditation thus detaches ourselves from the pressure of the world.
10. Environmental Influences
The environment in which one lives affects the way in which one perceives the stimuli. The surrounding has a continuous impact on the way we feel. The pleasant scenery of beautiful trees full of flowers, the range of mountains with the rising sun popping out from behind, birds flying in the sky in a symmetrical pattern, the sound of the ocean , the cool breeze, etc brings us in a blissful tough of nature. Such experiences are quite mesmerizing. We feel you and ecstasy. On the other hand, when we see a sudden landslide causing the death of people or destroying a house, we feel sad.
To sum up, I would like to say that whether whatever may take place, don’t ever lose hope. Don’t feel what others talk about you. You are a gem itself and nobody could replace you. If you feel depressed talk to a friend or whoever you feel is the good person to talk with. Ask for help and also lend a hand to whom you feel is not going through good times. This is what I want to conclude.
