The expression “I’m depressed” can be heard on almost every corner.
At the same time, it would be a mistake to call a normal bad mood caused by piled-up tasks or other reasons a depressive state.
Depression is a serious and complex illness that can be influenced by factors such as genetic vulnerability, stressful lifestyle, poor mood regulation in the brain, financial difficulties, health problems, etc.
As we know, prevention is better than cure, so we suggest you find out what you should do (and what you shouldn’t) to prevent depression.
To maintain health and well-being (both physical and mental), it is worth turning to sports, self-expression and positive thinking.
Start your day with positive thoughts and self-motivation.
Anti-anxiety medications and psychological exercises may also be helpful.
Listen to music, practice breathing exercises, and try different hobbies. Avoid stress and communicate with those who are close and comfortable to you.
Even what you eat is important: for example, psychologists advise adding greens, whole grains, fruits, yogurt and dried fruits to your diet to avoid depression.
If you suspect depression, do not hesitate to seek medical help. Visiting a psychologist or psychotherapist is a normal process of taking care of your health.
