Depression is a very complex issue and the condition can have a
range of causes.
The most obvious of these causes is emotional problems and
negative beliefs.
These emotional problems and the negative beliefs need to be
tackled through counselling, and many people turn to hypnotherapy
to find a solution as well.
But often, there’s more to depression than just going through
a tough time.
We all know people who have gone through experiences that
would have plunged other folk into depression or some other
problem. But these people just seem to bounce back.
It could be that these people have more hope and optimism and a
series of positive beliefs that help them cope with tough times. Or it
could be another factor.
When considering the causes of depression, the mind/body link
should never be ignored.
Scientists everywhere have accepted the idea of SAD
(seasonal affective disorder), where people who don’t get
enough sunlight have a greater tendency to depression.
In Scandinavian countries in particular, with their long, dark winters, more cases of clinical
depression crop up in winter, only to be alleviated when the sun
returns in spring and summer.
Now, this isn’t a problem in the Gold Coast – people come here for the sunshine, after all – but there are other ways that things that happen to the body affect the
state of the mind.
Diet, as you may have expected, plays a part in depression,
although it may not be the only factor.
It is highly likely that vitamin deficiencies and what’s in your food plays a role in a depressed
mood.
It probably isn’t the only factor – again, we probably all know
people who eat all kinds of junk and don’t have any problems with depression and also know folk who are very careful about what they eat but still have problems with
depression and anxiety.
But the authorities say that diet can help alleviate some of the
symptoms of depression and make you feel better.
We all know that there are certain foods that make you feel better
emotionally – everyone has comfort foods.
The downside of traditional comfort foods is that they are
often high in empty calories and simple starches – and can leave us
with a weight loss problem, especially if people turn to these foods as a crutch when feeling
blue.
Often, these comfort foods are foods from childhood or are treat foods, and people turn to them in order to recapture the feelings of being loved and special that are
associated with these foods.
If this rings a bell with you, then you might like to talk to your
counsellor or hypnotherapist as part of a hypnosis session before it
gets out of control.
But there are things that you can eat that really can make you feel better because of the way that
they interact with your hormones and affect the chemicals in your
brain that affect moods.
And the good news is that many of them are healthy for your body as
well as for your brain.
