Recovering from depression requires action. But taking action when you’re depressed is hard. In fact, just thinking about the things you should do to feel better, like exercising or going out with friends, can be exhausting.

It’s the Catch-22 of depression recovery. The things that help the most are the things that are most difficult to do. But there’s a difference between difficult and impossible.

   Self Help Tips:

   1: Cultivate supportive relationships

   2: Take care of yourself

   3: Get regular exercise

   4: Eat a healthy, mood-boosting diet

   5: Challenge negative thinking

   6: Know when to get additional help

When the Economic Depression Turns Medically Depressing

It is no accident that the word “depression” can be applied in an economic context, as well as a psychological one.  The pathology and prognosis of an economy on the ropes and of a mind under siege have similarities that we can learn from. In both cases—whether an individual or a nation is depressed— the mood is low, or irritable, or both.  But when people become clinically depressed, they suffer more than a loss of joy or sense of peace. They often lose concentration, energy and self-esteem. The greatest danger comes when they can see no future. For losing hope is even more toxic than deep personal losses that may have sparked the depression, to begin with.

The Road to Recovery from Psychological Depression
