Easy Cures For Depression
Monday, October 25th, 2010There are many varied types of depression. Many Americans are affected by depression and they don’t even know it or they are not willing to accept it. Studies estimate that at least 14 million Americans suffer from depression. ~It is also estimated that less than a third of those affected will ever seek treatment~Fewer than 4.7 million of those, about 1/3, will seek medical help~Unfortunately only a very small percent, less than 1/3, will go for treatment}. Why is this the case? Mental illness is a scary concept, and that’s where depression has been filed. Nobody wants that label applied to them. It wasn’t that long ago that society shunned those unfortunate enough to be categorized with mental illness. It was common to lock away people in facilities for the mentally ill when they exhibited signs of depression. The good news is things have become different. However, old stereotypes have not. This influences many Americans to keep their illness to themselves.
Many elements make up depression. It is not a simple diagnosis. Chemical balance in the brain, DNA, biology and even environment have to be considered. Depression can stem from drug or alcohol abuse, or even from simple everyday stress. Depression can come from all of these elements. So what are some of the treatments and cures available for those that are inflicted? Fortunately the treatments and cures are as numerous as depression causes. It comes down to a case by case consideration as to which options are best for someone who suffers depression
There are many supposed cures for depression. A cure for depression is realistic when safe and effective treatments are considered. Here are some of the factors considered when these options are examined. Is the treatment proven clinically to be effective for depression? Does it have an appropriate dose to be effective if a drug or herb? Have high quality control standards been used when accepting the method? Let’s examine some of the more popular cures.
To treat many forms of depression doctors have typically prescribed a combination of drugs and psychotherapy. Prescription anti-depressants like SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often prescribed as a treatment for depression. In 1988 Prozac was first used and today it is one of the most popular. Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa, and Luvox are just some of those that followed it. All of these work. These drugs have a lot of side effects. That’s the reason natural treatments are gaining popularity. St. Johns Wort extract is one of the more popular herbal cures on the market. In order to work it must contain between 3 and 5 % hyperforin. Studies and actual cases show it to be as effective as Prozac but with fewer side effects. If those who have the disease don’t seek treatment, a cure does no good. If you think you have depression, or if someone you know shows the signs, visit a doctor.
