depression

Holllaaaaaa. At this time I'll share about the negative spin of depression, understanding depression, and how to treat depression. Let's check it out! 


Negative 'Spin'

"Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so." -William Shakespeare

Depression is partly maintained by how we interpret reality. The 'spin' we put on things. Knowledge about how this happens can turn lives around. Remember from the cycle of depression that too many negative, emotionally arousing introspections lead to over-dreaming, which leads to exhaustion and depression. So, to recap, events don't have any intrinsic 'meaning' until human beings add it. Depression can turn good things into bad by applying a meaning that harms us. For example, if I phone someone and leave a message and they don't get back to me I can tell myself this may be because:
  1. 'Maybe they are away'
  2. 'Perhaps they haven't picked up their messages'
  3. 'Their machine isn't working or they phoned back when I was out'
  4. Or: 'They didn't phone back because they don't want to talk to me because they don't like me!

How to best treat depression?

Recent depression research shows that how we perceive our depression, what we actually think it is, is actually important in the efficacy (efficiency) of the treatment we undergo. What this means is that knowing all the facts about depression, really understanding depression, is incredibly important. Treating depression with drugs. It's possible that, like millions of others, you may be taking drugs (antidepressants) of some kind to treat depression. Antidepressants are often the first treatment option prescribed by health professionals. By understanding that antidepressants actually treat what is a common symptom of depression, rather than the condition itself, we can begin to understand some key facts about antidepressants, namely:
• Why antidepressants are only effective in around one-third of cases, and partially effective in another third. The other third of cases get no benefit at all.
• Why the rate of relapse is so high when depression is treated with antidepressants alone?
• For many people, the side effects are more unpleasant than the depression itself, so they discontinue treatment.

Treating depression with psychotherapy or counseling


All psychotherapies are not the same, and some can worsen depression, rather than improve it. When discussing using the treatment of depression with psychotherapy, it is important to make some distinction in the types of treatment. While some have been shown to have high success rates, others are shown to be less effective than actually leaving the depression untreated.
