Depression Before It Starts!!

Prevention of
Depression : Stop Your Depression Before It Starts
Until we can find out for certain what chemical changes occur when
someone becomes depressed, and find out what triggers them, we will not
even begin to be able to discover whether one can prevent depression. As
with a tendency towards anxiety, it does appear that some people are
more inclined to become depressed than others. We cannot say, however,
that anyone has actually prevent depression until we are able to expose
people to its causes and observe their minds and bodies resisting it as
a result of some kind of preventive action. Nevertheless, if we consider
what depressed people regard as the causes of their illness, it may
offer some guidance as to possible preventative measures.
What are the ways for the Prevention of Depression?
Prevention of Depression -through the way we think:
We already know that two people can experience identical events and yet
one may become depressed as a result whereas the other does not. The
only difference between them is the way in which they think about what
has happened and how it affects them. The way we think affects the way
our body behaves and this in turn influences the way we feel.
Depression Prevention - through the balance theory:
Whether it is treated or not, depression seems to disappear quite
suddenly. It may take weeks or over a year, but it happens. It may come
back if the conditions which caused it are repeated, but it seems that
the body adjusts itself to the imbalance in the system and rights itself
- until the next time.
Prevention of Depression -through the state-dependent theory:
It has been found that we remember incidents according to the way we
felt at the time. This is called state dependent memory, and it means we
do not remember the past in neutral terms, seeing both sides of any
situation. The rule is therefore to try and allow yourself to see
something positive in everything. If you find something positive in even
the worst that befalls you, then you have cracked it!
Depression Prevention -through the acceptance theory:
We only have the power to control our own thoughts and actions. No
matter how much we try and control others, we cannot. We must accept
other people just as they are; it is up to them to change themselves if
they want to. Nobody has the right to control another. The only possible
exception to this is a parent's right to hold control of a child in
trust until that child is able to take over. What we have to learn is
acceptance.
