Need my medication - medication
I've suffered with depression for years and also went to college to become a therapist. I don't think depression can be cured but it can be managed with therapy and medication. I know from personal experience that if I didn't have both I wouldn't be able to get through a day.

I suffered from really bad clinical depression for over 10 years to the point of not wanting to wake up in the morning and a couple of overdoses, went through talkie therapy which didn't work for me, but I have got through it and out the other end and wake up in the morning feeling good about life. I went through hypnotherapy, got everything out of my system and dealt with things and the depression has lifted. In my personal experience depression can be cured, hypnotherapy mightn't work for everybody but it worked for me

Well for depression, medicines are not solution. Do Meditation, try breathing exercise, it will help you balance and handle depression.

I think depression could better be managed by the one who is experiencing it than having to rely to medications. Medicines could only relieve some effects of depression but it can never cure it so its better to examine one's self deeper or seek professional help when needed.

treatments such as antidepressant medications and phsycotherapy can reduce teh symptoms caused by depression and sometimes eliminate them too.a treatment must be soughted out for depression patients.they should try to mix with other people and try to talk to them about your fears and worries,it helps than staying alone and secretive.you should also try for some exercises or fun activities like yoga,mediaction,dance classes.

I had a treatment done called "Thought Field Therapy". Luckily a relative of a friend of mine practiced it, otherwise I would have never heard of it or believed it would work. It worked and I was able to quit taking the medicine I was on for a year, which wasn't helping. Now I take a vitamin called 5-HTP and it keeps it from coming back.

Depression can be cured through multi-pronged therapies. In less severe cases perhaps we can manage relief from the symptoms. A well balanced lifestyle, both physically and mentally, is required for a healthy living.The main problem with depression is that we can not see the depressive thoughts that are going on in a person's mind clearly. often they are misunderstood a lot. Why not read the web log: http://sripedia.blogspot.com and look at various links and posts for more information.
