Depression is a mental health condition that is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and emptiness.  In this post, we discuss Common Depression Causes and Treatment Options For Depression.

Pain, Suicidal Thoughts, Guilt Or Worthlessness, and Substance Use are some of the Symptoms Of Major Depressive Disorder. Keep an eye out for these signs and you may be able to prevent it from escalating further.

Prevention Techniques For MDD are listed in this blog, such as using Pets as a mood booster and to Eat Smart with Foods That Boost Your Mood. You should also make sure to Get Enough Sunlight, Make Time For Mindful Relaxation and maybe even Exercise With Others For Support. But these are only ways to prevent depression, they won't stop you from having it.

People who are depressed cannot simply “pull themselves together” and be cured. Without proper treatment, untreated clinical depression can last for weeks, months, or years. So Stick To Your Treatment or  even go for therapy. Types of Therapy That May Help Depression are Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).

Depression doesn't just stem from Early Childhood Trauma. There was multiple causes for instance Brain Chemistry, Hormone Levels, Family History, Brain Structure and any Medical Conditions. Living with depression isn't easy; it affects the way you eat and sleep. It affects the way you feel about yourself and those around you. It even affects your thoughts.

Going through it alone would be worse, so Keep Friends And Family In Your Life. The support definitely helps and the good news is that depression is treatable. If you have symptoms of depression, talk to your healthcare provider. The sooner you get help, the sooner you can feel better.
