    Coping With Depression with The London Psychiatry Centre

    Those who are trying to deal with depression should consult with a therapist, however, there are certain tactics that you can employ in your day-to-day life that can help when combined with advice from a professional. 

    These five tactics may be simple – but they can make a very real difference in dealing with the challenges of depression according to The London Psychiatry Centre. 

    The Value of Exercise

    Set aside 15 to 30 minutes to get outside and take a brisk walk each day. Or engage in other sorts of light exercise such as stretching, yoga, or dancing. People who are suffering from depression very rarely feel the urge to exercise, motivation is a problem. Take that first step even if it requires some extra effort. If you are struggling to get into the habit or to even start then take a friend with you. It is amazing the effect that simply getting some exercise can have on your mental state – the key is to get out there that very first time – and then keep it up. 

    Hydrate and Enjoy a Healthy Diet

    Great nutrition and plenty of H2O can make a huge difference to those who are suffering from depression. It’s common for sufferers to neglect their diet – sometimes that all-important motivation and a feeling of listlessness make even the thought of food disagreeable. However, what you eat has a direct influence on the way that you feel, and how much energy you have. If you are depressed try and make that extra effort to enjoy a healthy and balanced diet – don’t turn to junk food. Stick with a healthy balance of fruits, veggies, and the all-important whole grains. Avoid simple carbs like white bread and wheat pasta, and don’t over-indulge in sugary foods (again – avoid the junk), and that includes decadent desserts.

    Don’t spend long periods without eating. Even if you do not feel hungry enjoy something light and healthy. And do not forget to stay hydrated – water is still one of the healthiest beverage choices that you can make. Don’t go for soft drinks with all that added sugar (and pay attention to fruit juice labels – juice can contain lots of added sugar) – and avoid caffeine.    

    Don’t be Afraid to Express Yourself

    Depression can rob you of your sense of fun, creativity, and spontaneity. But exploring your creativity can make an enormous difference to how you feel. You don’t have to be a particularly gifted artist to enjoy doodling or drawing, painting can also be a great way to express yourself. If these options don’t appeal to you, what about baking, cooking, or sewing? You could also write (a diary is great or a short story to begin with). If you have the skills, compose music, or dance. Even limericks can exercise the mind. Reach out to friends or interact with a pet. Seek out activities that make you smile or even laugh out loud (your favorite comedy movie or book may do the trick). Each activity can help alleviate the symptoms of depression.

    Talk to your friends, and explain what you are feeling, however, don’t dwell on the negative. Talking with that special, caring friend can feel good. They say a problem shared is a problem halved. That may be simplistic – but there is some truth in it. Depression can cause people to blame others, complain endlessly, or go over problems again and again in their minds. A talk with that friend can help to keep you focused on the real problems.         

    Talk to a professional, they can help you formulate a plan to take steps to feeling better and offer a course of treatment such as depression treatment with RTMS.

    Don’t bottle it all up – talk about your feelings and thoughts – but also talk about good things. Positivity is key, rather than ceaselessly dwelling on the negative. Take note of the good things around you. Things may seem dark and dismal and negative – you can fall prey to hopelessness very quickly. Set yourself goals like noting three positive things a day. The more good things you notice the easier they become to spot.
