How can you get rid of depression?


In our lives we all have such moments that break us apart and some of us recover and others are so sensitive that they get mentally disturbed (also known as depression).

What is depression:

Depression is the mood disorder that causes us to feel worthless and creates suicidal thoughts.

Conditions in depression:

•Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
•Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

Premenstrual Dysphoric(PMDD):

PMDD occurs in women after child birth or before menstruation and end in menses. In this depression a woman has low energy, fatigue, eating too much, irritability, tension, and bloating.

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder:

This depression occurs in children from 6 to 18. It causes difficulty in making friends and aggression in school and home. It occurs frequently 3 to 4 times a week.

Persistent Depression Disorder:

Persistent depression disorder is more common in adults. It stays for a maximum of two years. Patients face trouble sleeping, guilt, lack of worth, and lack of mental peace.

Bipolar disorder:

Bipolar disorder is called manic depression. It is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania, you may feel, full of energy and irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.

We all need some trustworthy person to talk with but if no one is trustworthy enough you should go and see a therapist because he/she can help you with your problems along with some medicines. This is also known as psychotherapy.

Electroconvulsive Therapy:

If no treatment makes you better than doctors provide your brain a small amount of electric current; it helps you by changing your brain chemistry. Do not worry you will not feel pain because you will be in an unconscious state.

Summary:

Depression is a serious mental illness and it can be treated. It causes you to leave the things that you once enjoyed and captures you in a long period of sadness.

How can you control your emotions?

Have you ever been with a person who is caring, polite, calm, heart warming and gentle? If yes, then you have met an emotionally intelligent person.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is an ability of a person to control emotions and it is more important than IQ in practical life. If you only have high IQ, you can do well in your college but u can’t do well in your practical life.

But don’t worry, you can also become emotionally intelligent by following: Self awareness, self management, empathy, socially skilled.

Self awareness: Self awareness is creating a good relationship with your own emotions. How? For creating this relationship, you need to understand what caused your sadness, anger or anxiety. Let’s say, someone hurts you then besides crying or hurting yourself, you need to find a solution. Try to look with others views and if you find out their reasons forgive them or wait until they realize their mistakes. This is how self awareness works.

Self management: It’s about knowing how you can get over certain feelings like: if u are sad you need to do things that make you happy or make you feel better. Try meditation or write your feelings on paper and throw it away; you will feel good by doing this.

Empathy: Showing your kindness to others is called empathy. We all make mistakes but understanding the reasons for mistakes, you can make a better decision. So be kind to others and give them a shoulder to cry on.

Social skills: These are the skills that make your bonds with others. If you’ll help others, they’ll help you. If you understand others, they’ll understand you. And in this way, you’ll be able to make your bonds with others.

Disadvantages: sometimes, we become very emotional and we say things that we don’t want to say. And we make decisions that we don’t want to make. As a result, we face stress, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and trouble sleeping. So to avoid these things, you should be emotionally intelligent.

Take aways: Try not to hurt anyone because if you hurt someone he can also hurt you. Be good to others if u want them to be good with you. Try to understand others, it will help you to be less stressed, anxious and depressed. It will also be peaceful.
