One of the most important factors to take into consideration when working out your coping resources for depression is addressing the actual issues that you have in your life.

These personal issues will be ongoing unless they’re dealt with head on. Once these issues have been dealt with, you can move on with your life and start repairing your mind.

I totally agree with a lot of Cyn said. I have lived with clinical severe depression for 16 years. I’ve tried nearly every combination of psychotropric medications there are with little to no success. I’m sorry but most people that aren’t clinically depressed, or don’t have a loved one who is, really just don’t understand what it’s like to live with tons of mental health issues. They are diseases. These steps are no where near enough to help someone who has been through what I have. I seek help from every avenue available yet I struggle every single day with things most people wouldn’t think twice about. I agree there needs to be a lot more research on MENTAL HEALTH in general and how all these medications effect the brain. I pray for the day that a Dr. can look at my brain and know just what to do to balance my brain chemicals out so I can live a life of happiness like so many others do. I agree you can’t feel sorry for the people who aren’t willing to work hard at beating the disease by getting all the help that is available to them and trying hard to apply what is learned. All I am saying is, take it from someone who has attempted suicide a few times, and lives with several different mental disorders like PTSD, panic and anxiety disorder, severe depressive disorder, and more. I hide it well from some people but the people who really know me know how much I have struggled and continue to struggle. I wouldn’t wish any of this on my worst enemy.

***** you and your positive bull*****! Do you have any idea what it’s like to be depressed? I doubt it based on your simplistic approach to the problem.

To be completely honest, isolating a person with an illness leads to suicide. It sounds more to me like someone that would do this clearly feels the infected person is a burden and should probably seek help themselves to deal with an old fashioned case of self-absorbed. Most people with depression are actually quite compassionate and will give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. They know their disease is difficult to deal with and they usually overcompensate with kind acts to “atone” for something they really can’t control.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been suffering with depression for over 7 years now and although I’m out of the woods I still have my “black dog” days. I wrote an article to help people who may be in a similar situation. You can find this article here http://www.squidoo.com/coping-resources-for-depression

Thanks

U are dense and so is jfrater this list is crap except for the ones about being proactive like exercising and eating right people are depressed because they ate fat lonely lost someone are poor and other various reasons all depression has an external cause and cyn u sound like the type to advocate anti depressants. The whole theory behind anti depressants is currently the most profitable lie in the world do the look at the research anti depressants are barely better than placebos search on google scholar also look up the chemical imbalance myth on google and jfrater u say because this list is based on an article written by a psychologist that it’s a good article how idiotic many psychologist know nothing about the brain and human behavior psychology today is disgraceful and it’s a shame psychologist consider themselves scientist and I have a bachelors in psychology so I know what this pseudoscience is all about
