RE: Do depression and anxiety always need medical treatment? I say NO! Part 1.

in #health6 years ago

First of all, that's the same caveat I tell my patients. I hate it when people dismiss other forms of cure while preaching theirs as superior. There are some cures that are no doubt questionable, but there are a lot of viable cures out there that are dismissied because of misinformation. The body can cure itself, it's so wonderful like that, but there are things that could help support it.

Depression is such a touchy subject, isn't it? Quite too often, people are ridiculed for having it because it's almost always misunderstood. People who use "depressed" as a substitute for sadness doesn't help it one bit. Maybe because it's unseen, that's why it's hard to nail down. The best thing people could do is to listen and understand. There are many who are suffering out there that refuse to speak up out of fear. I do hope that one day there will be a magic bullet that cures it, but for now the thing we can do is to just help each other out. These are really helpful tips, Deb. Thanks for sharing them!

I think there are so many different causes, and so many potential "cures" that there will never be a magic bullet. But the more we can talk about different things to try, the more people who might be able to help themselves. The key thing is keeping an open mind about what the best remedy might be.

Yes! I couldn't have said it better myself!
