What I do to cope with down days is to pump iron, take vitamin B complex, omega 3 foods. For depression, I recommend that one sees a counsellor to ascertain the source of the problem first.

You would not want to do anything that would harm you in any way. I have had clinical depression all of my life and only had it under control for the past two years. My blog for instance suggests some of the the things that I have done to make a recovery, but I don't want you to go do things like exercise unless you are capable of it. <strong> What I do want you to do is search the internet, like you are doing and then take what you find to a trained medical professional and ask their advice on the idea based on your condition.</strong> I wish you well and want to let you know that you have a lot of courage telling your story on a blog! Scott Becker Lataya,

How about exercise - I just wrote a post about an alternative method to relieving depression being exercise over on my blog at <a href="healthfitnessvitamin.com" rel="nofollow">http://healthfitnessvitamin.com</a> How about just forcing yourself to smile by doing something fun. Ever try to smile and feel depressed at the same time? it dosn't work. And yes supplements are also a great idea. I remember one bout I had with depression all, I wanted to eat for dinner every night was chocolate shake - that would not have been so bad if I had gotten my nutrition from supplements at the same time. Being I didn't take supplements I lost a lot of weight which was so unhealthy and just contributed to my depression. Thanks for the post!

Good nutrition can spell a lot of difference over a depressed state of mind and won't give you the side effects typical with psychiatric medicine. Fueling the body with Omega 3 nutrients can help treat depression and this can be done through the regular supplementation of flax seed, which is considered as a brain food. In fact, Omega 3 is being considered today as a possible treatment for depression by the APA. Low levels of the hormone seratonin on the brain is linked to depression. According to CNN's Dr. Gupta, low levels of Omega 3 seem to lead to low levels of seratonin. source: http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/health/2007/11/16/gupta.omega.acids.and.mood.cnn Right, you can’t treat depression in a sustainable manner if you won’t keep a close watch of your food intake.
