Fight Back Against Depression
Depression attacks slightly more than one in ten people. Almost everyone will be affected by depression in their lifetime, either their own, or that of someone close to them. The rate at which it is increasing is phenomenal. Even small children are being affected by it.
The sad thing is, most people feel that their depression is their fault and something to hide. They often are too embarrassed to seek help. This is especially true of women. 15% of the people who suffer from this illness will commit suicide.
Depression is an illness, not a fault or weakness in the person suffering from it, and there are things that can be done to ease the symptoms. For some people, especially those with severe depression and/or thoughts of suicide, a doctor must be consulted to make sure appropriate treatment is provided. Mild to moderate depression may be helped by less stringent means, including herbs.
Herbs that may help deal with this problem include St. John’s Wort, rosemary, hops and kava kava. Some studies suggest that the first two may have antidepressant actions, while hops is a mild sedative. Kava kava is frequently used for anxiety, which can accompany depression.
Keeping a journal may also have some help in dealing with depression. The act of writing down moods and incidents, both happy and sad, can help deal with them. Talking about your depression with someone trained to council can also help. If you don’t wish to speak to your doctor, speak to your pastor or other religious leader.
Depression is a serious problem, and should be addressed. It is not shameful, and should not cause embarrassment to those suffering from it. You don’t have to suffer in silence.
As with all herbal preparations, before beginning to take the above herbs, check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure these herbs are right for you. Some herbs have interactions with medications or negative impacts on some conditions.
