Sometimes, clients fuel their depression for the dumbest of reasons. One such example I remember well. Some background first. He was a man in his fifties; he has spent most of his life on the street. He was abused as a child and has suffered from depression his entire life. He has also consistently abused alcohol and many illegal drugs--including Meth and Cocaine. These drugs made it possible for him to medicate his depression and feel important. But now he is very much clean and sober--and unhappy as well.
He is clean and sober because he is on parole for shoplifting and other crimes. And he has to stay that way to avoid going back to prison. He once told me, in regard to his depression: "I've come to the conclusion that nothing can be done about my depression." This client then told me that--of all things--seeing interracial couples makes him angry. That is, when he sees an attractive white woman with a black man. He is white.
He has had hundreds of sex partners over the years--almost all of which were heavily involved in the drug scene. He explained that--when he sees a mixed couple--he is jealous of the black man and angry at the white woman for "betraying her own race." Can you imagine a dumber reason to give the Devil a stronger foothold? Can you imagine an easier sin to avoid?
Basic Emotional Needs As well as physical needs, all human beings have emotional needs, and it's just as important that these are adequately met if we're to avoid depression. The main thing to remember is that we're social, problem solving animals, and our emotional needs are a result of that. Thus, we all need a sense of connection to other people and to the wider community, a sense of security and safety, and a sense of achievement and healthy challenge. You can go a long way towards beating depression by making a list of these needs, and seeing which ones aren't being met at the moment. Look at ways in which you could improve your scores in each area. If you're feeling socially isolated, for example, is there some way that you could increase your contact with other people, perhaps by joining a club or society.
He said that was a "big step" and he'd have to think about that. However, the next session he said "I feel happy" "I haven't felt this good in a long time." "It's a miracle!"
Doing regular exercises has positive effect on the overall health of a person and can help prevent depression from getting worse. While there is no best or most effective exercise to overcome depression; running, walking or gardening can help you fight depression. Continuously and regularly do a couple of fun exercises to reap long-term benefits. Exercise may not be your first option for treatment. But the list of positive results of many studies done to prove that regular exercise and depression go well with each other is probably enough to encourage and motivate you to start doing fun physical activities. Once you start exercising, you'll discover that this cheap practice has a lot more benefits than any other treatment methods for depression. - 29881
