Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism?

If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc...

I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day.

There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy' again.

Here are some remedies that I've found helpful and that have been recommended by Dr. Oz:

**Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oils). There are no known side effects and they can be purchased over the counter and may be effective for treating mild depression. (found naturally in sardines, salmon and walnuts)

**Increase your intake of St. John's Wort - also available in most grocery stores or drug stores.

**"Sammy"...technical term: S-Adenosyl Methionine (possibly also good for treating arthritis and joint pain http://arthritis.about.com/od/same/a/whatissame.htm )...I found this product online for as much as $69/bottle or as little as $12/bottle.

Of course, do your research, talk to your pharmacist and your health care provider. The Omega-3 happens to be my favorite, but I am not on any other medications and have no health problems. This is just some random thought sharing and I am in no way an expert or a physician. (that's my disclaimer)

May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and happy thoughts....and when your thoughts aren't so happy, may you always find a shoulder to lean on and a listening ear.

  2. The most obvious signs of depression is withdraw
    and sinking moods. Doctors have been noticing that often when a patient's depression is cured, the insomnia still remains. Diagnosis can be difficult and Manic depression is classed as a chronic relapsing illness so it best to work with an experienced Psychiatrist and continue treatmet even when you're feeling better.

  3. And Ouya, which is about the size of a Rubik's cube. A bowler who can consistently pick up his spares can easily hold a 180 average without getting any strikes. It is recommended that the golfers select those putters with which the golfers feel good and works well with their gaming pattern.

  4. Needless to say this lifestyle was not kind on my body or my mind, and one day my body decided to let me know.
    Following guidelines regarding eating habits and the diet

  5. As the medium is not limited to any particular geographical or
    demographic region, advertising on internet radio would give the business an international audience
    base. As business owners recognize the swaying power of using audio to
    communicate the value and quality of their products and services, online audio will
    come of age in a big way. Organizing employees, maintenance of radio station as well as layout and other details are very simple and therefore
    creating a radio station online is a lucrative deal for those who
    want their own stations.

  6. What you want to discuss and how you discuss various issues is
    left to you, which again is an advantage especially if you are creating an online talk radio station.
    Listening to Internet radio is a breeze for anyone who's familiar with the World Wide Web. Turn on iheartradio and then look at a different app, your station will keep playing and you can control everything from the "running apps" menu (double-click the home button).

  7. Both drugs have also been denied FDA approval the
    first time around and are awaiting news on their second attempt.
    Vinson had participants keep their normal diet and exercise routines (or lack thereof) and
    merely added the green coffee. Expect to lose all that extra flabbiness as you melt off all your unwanted
    fat.

  8. The new EP Pure Wet is a masterclass in experimental baselines and echoey, breathy
    vocals all underpinned by varying funk and R&B-based
    rhythms. I know a lot more music now than before and have changed my tastes.
    Quicker to produce and available in lower costs, they often
    feature a lot of complex designs.

  9. Signing up for the particular Wilton Process Redecorating Principles Study course is good for those people thinking of getting a jump in cake
    adorning. Couples only fool themselves if they think guests only care
    about the cake. Typically overlooked as practically nothing far more than just dessert belittled as a symbol that
    provides nothing more than a location to stick the candles, the birthday cake has lengthy been relegated to 2nd tier status in
    the realm of get together arranging.

  10. Once you have done this, set the burn speed to
    4x and click Burn and wait for it to complete. Imagine never having to worry
    about what to wear to work, and even the infuriating traffic jams that never seem to end.

    The most unique thing about Ouya is that it is said to be "open"
    -- although what this means is up for interpretation.

  11. Not only will your child be in awe of all the bright colors of his favorite cereal transformed
    into a birthday cake but your guests will absolutely love your creativity.
    Later, during the Middle Ages, many guests would bring small cakes to the
    wedding celebration. You may even love them more than this classic cake recipe.

  12. The internet is fueling the success of music because it can be listened
    to at any time of the day and anywhere in the world. Often, long term schedules with a bit of breathing room work best.
    Perfect for long trips and for up to date information on road
    conditions ahead.

  13. For example, if you just moved from Miami to Chicago,
    there are probably not a lot of Salsa radio stations to listen to in the Windy City.
    Tens of thousands of people all across the United States are starting their own
    Internet radio shows - for free. There are several things that differentiate it
    from the traditional radio, but the first and foremost is the sheer variety that it offers.

  14. And when you begin tossing $20 at clientele for spreading the word about your DJ business,
    they will commence marketing for you a lot more often.
    Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger There's something intriguing about a robotic voice egging you on. I don't
    know if the vocals sampled are from some old song because it has got a really 80s vibe to it.
