What are some natural remedies for depression?

Sports and exercise, both will server you best. Making friends is first suggestion, but its harder than it sound.

Lots of laughter, hanging out with friends and loved ones, therapy and doing what you love to do would be my remedy.

Changing your behavior -- your physical activity, lifestyle, and even your way of thinking -- are all natural depression treatments. 1. Get in a routine. If you’re depressed, you need a routine. Depression can strip away the structure from your life. One day melts into the next. Setting a gentle daily schedule can help you get back on track. 2.Set goals. When you're depressed, you may feel like you can't accomplish anything. That makes you feel worse about yourself. To push back, set daily goals for yourself. Start very small, make your goal something that you can succeed at, like doing the dishes every other day. 3. Exercise. It temporarily boosts feel-good chemicals called endorphins. It may also have long-term benefits for people with depression. Just walking a few times a week can help. 4. Eat healthy. There is no magic diet that fixes depression. It's a good idea to watch what you eat, though. If depression tends to make you overeat, getting in control of your eating will help you feel better. 5. Get enough sleep. Depression can make it hard to get enough shut-eye, and too little sleep can make depression worse.

Exercise is actually very helpful to ease depression. The nature of the illness makes it hard to find the energy to go out and exercise but if you manage to find an activity that you enjoy, your efforts will pay off! Eating well and regularly also helps with the symptoms of depression. A very interesting approach, that I have found worked for me, was swimming in cold water. It has a noticeable antidepressant effect, because it puts the nod in a stress situation. But the fact that situation can be controlled and managed has a positive effect on the mind. But take care of yourself when you want to try this, it can be very helpful, but make sure not to stay in the water for too long!

There are a few things i personally believe are helpful to deal with depression some remedies for at home when you are alone or even if you're not, like Doing something you love to do. writing down issues and burning it. spending time with loved ones. i also believe writing poetry or writing in general and focusing on the positive things in life can help. staying relaxed and doing yoga or working out. even going for a walk or run. getting a new pet may help and cooking and just staying focused trying to forget whats bothering you. helping others as well if they are going through things can actually help.

Some natural remedies include going outside and being active, starting conversations with new people, making a conscious effort to smile more often, and engaging in hobbies and activities you typically enjoy.

There are some awesome motivational speeches on youtube that you can search up :) anything from uplifting music to uplifting readings would be beneficial

Getting a pet really helped me become less depressed. I also found that baking desserts helps me relieve stress, and that has also been able to keep me happy. :)

Lavender is often a very relaxing herb and can help with depression. I also find that chamomile helps.

Making some small changes to your lifestyle. For example, go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Take a walk for 10 min once a week. And talk to someone. Try to not to shut down and hide your feelings .

Exercise, eating better, and sunlight are all natural depression fighters. getting outside and eating three times a day could make a world of difference.

What usually works for me are exercises (as it refreshes my mind), enough sleep and relaxation through music, and doing something new and interesting I've always wanted to try. Sometimes, what also works for me is just venting out my worries, fears, and problems to someone whom I know would not judge.

You are the best on you, and it will get better, i promise you. It gets easier, a lot easier. I´m here

Mostly we continue thinking about negative things happening to us. We do not see the positive energy around us. Even we take our presence negative.

I think that some natural remedies for depression is to stop being alone, get out more, be more social and interact with people. But the tricky part is who to interact with, i highly recommend you stay away from people that make you feel stressed or give you sad irritating thoughts. when i am sad, or upset about something i get in a group of people that are generally happy and positive. It boosts your mood up by a lot.

While I do think that a lot of advice given on the internet and by others is feelgood nonsense that makes them feel better for trying to help without actually helping, I have found a couple things that help me when I go through depressive bouts. 1) Exercise. It's recommended on almost every list for a reason. Even if it's just going for a walk outside, get up and move for a bit. 2) Gratitude. It's a hard one, especially when everything is spiraling downwards and you don't want to think about it, but focusing on even one good thing can be enough to at least start turning things around. 3) Drink more water. Granted, this isn't going to solve all the issues, and may not even help at all but being dehydrated all the time is going to make you feel even more exhausted, and make it that much harder. There's plenty more advise to be had, but a lot of it varies on a person by person basis. When I start going down a bad path, I try to keep those three in mind, at the very least. Sure, it doesn't solve the overarching issue, but at least gives a little bit of help.

Exercise! Also, set goals for yourself. People often make the mistake of thinking that ambition is needed in order to have goals, but the truth is just the opposite: you need goals in order to have ambition. With that ambition comes a sense of purpose, which is a great natural remedy for depression.

While it might not be a remedy exercising does wonders when you are depressed. When you are using your body you release endorfins, which give you a sense of comfort. An added bonus is that you temporarily distracted.

There are so many natural remedies for depression! Essential oils, melatonin/natural vitamins, exercise, yoga, meditation, journaling, having a daily routine, being outside, even your diet! Consider plant-based whole foods. It's been known to reverse many diseases and illnesses. Science knows so little when it comes to psychology/depression, so there are so many things that probably make a huge difference in how you live your life that aren't "scientific."

It really depends upon the person but for a lot of people exercise helps, it also helps to have a routine as well as making sure you get enough sleep and are eating well.

Laughter therapy is great. Find something that makes you truly smile and laugh and go with it. It helps a lot.

EXERCISE! It releases the Serotonin in the brain which is the 'Happy Hormone'. Activities as small as going for a walk or throwing a ball can make even the tiniest improvement in mood.

A natural remedy for depression is walking, climbing, swimming , camping, most outdoor activities are good for releasing energy and re gaining balance.

Some natural remedies for depression are exercise, and mind wellness and clarification such as yoga.

It sounds silly but when you're depressed even a little lift in mood can make all the difference. Sometimes it's the little things in life - a nice cup of tea, a hug or a good chat with a friend, a giggle at a silly tv show or a bit of fresh air and sunshine :)

A good natural remedy for depression is to keep a journal. And write down your thoughts. From there you can try to find the positive in the negatives.

Exercise. I swear by this. Exercise releases endorphins in your brain that make you feel good and can help combat depression.

Exercise! Exercise releases serotonin which is a neurotransmitter that makes us feel happy. Also just smiling (even when you feel you have nothing to smile about) has shown to improve moods.

Talking to someone you feel comfortable with, yoga and trying to do what you love can really help open some doors of positivity.
