Dr. Daniel Amen Shares Natural Tips to Help with Depression
Depression is a common mental health condition that impacts millions of people worldwide. Its symptoms can include feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and hopelessness. There are a variety of treatments available for depression, including medication and therapy, but Dr. Daniel Amen shares some natural tips to help alleviate the symptoms.
Exercise regularly
One of the most effective ways to reduce symptoms of depression is by exercising regularly. Dr. Amen recommends at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. Exercise helps release endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers. It also helps reduce inflammation in the body, which can contribute to depression. Exercise can include anything from walking, swimming, or participating in a yoga class.
Take Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Another natural remedy for depression is taking Omega-3 fatty acid supplements. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that our body needs but cannot produce on its own. A deficiency in Omega-3s has been linked to depression and other mental health conditions. Dr. Amen suggests taking 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams of Omega-3s per day.
Kill Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTS)
Automatic Negative Thoughts, or ANTS, are those negative thoughts that creep into our minds without any provocation. These thoughts can be self-defeating and can worsen symptoms of depression. Dr. Amen suggests that one of the natural ways to reduce depression is by killing ANTS. He suggests writing down these thoughts and replacing them with positive ones instead.
Seek Professional Help
While these natural tips may help alleviate symptoms of depression, it’s important to seek professional help if symptoms persist. A mental health professional can provide therapy, medication or additional treatments to help manage depression. Seeking help is an important step in getting better and can help with long-term mental health.
Stay Connected to Loved Ones
Depression can often cause people to withdraw from social interactions. However, staying connected to loved ones is a vital aspect of mental health. Dr. Amen suggests making an effort to spend time with friends and family. Engaging in social activities can improve mood and distract from negative thoughts. Even a phone call or video chat can provide that vital connection.
In conclusion, depression is a serious condition that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. While treatments such as therapy and medication exist, Dr. Amen suggests that natural remedies can help alleviate symptoms. These tips include exercising regularly, taking Omega-3s, killing ANTS, seeking professional help, and staying connected to loved ones. Remember, depression is treatable, and there are resources available to help.
