How To Prevent Depression by EmmanuelBenard(m): 9:41pm On Sep 12, 2018 |
Try the following tips: 1. Seek sufficient social support: Depression is not very common amid circles where there exist strong relational ties – marriage, family, work, friends. It is, therefore, necessary to attain a happy family, be surrounded by good friends, and have a good professional environment, as all these are preventive measures against depression. 2. Keep active: It is amazing how a low mood can vary so quickly when one gets busy with some activity. To avoid depression, become active. It may seem difficult to go and visit a relative or run some errands, but only at the beginning. Once you start the activity, it will be easy to continue. Put your hands to work on tasks you enjoy and that are productive and edifying: tidy up your room, repair something at work, and make a few phone calls to show care for others. If you can, practice a sport or aerobic exercise. Exercising is a source of health and good mood. 3. Think correctly: Depending on how people focus on either the dark or the bright side of things, they have more or less proneness to depression. Thinking is like any other habit and must be cultivated in order to avoid negative analysis of situations. 4. Look sanely at the past: The past may be a source of depression but also the cause of emotional well-being. Instead of focusing on past adversities, enjoy thinking of happy events and stages. If there is a past trauma (sexual abuse, natural disaster, etc.), consult a psychologist or psychiatrist instead of falling into negativism and irresponsibility. |
