Spring. How far this little sound of joy. No heat, the sun does not shine, under the feet of mud mixed with black snow. A round dark face, and to leave so far. No wonder that at this time, the unbalanced people fall into depression .
Most often, by the way, the intellectuals. They are irritated for no reason, losing interest not only to work, but even their hobbies, often crying, their tormentsinsomnia , and some did reduce their own lives. As seen in recent times.
Science Depression (from Lat. deprimo - «push", "crush") - a mental disorder when a person is not just ugly mood, "lost the ability to experience joy," pessimism is present in the estimates of all events, he was constantly dissatisfied with himself, and even inhibited in gait ...Someone is trying to "kill grief" with the help of alcohol and psychotropic drugs.
But it is dangerous: the degree and psychotropics result in a greater inhibition of the nervous system and the light will turn into a heavy depression. Why is depression often occurs in the spring? Where to find a way out? And how can we protect ourselves from extreme depression, not to let it undo all our efforts to maintain its body in a normal manner? Try to understand c by psychologists and psychotherapists.
- There is the notion of "winter depression", "Autumn" - reminded the psychiatrist Anna Shleina. - But in the spring, after a long winter, the human body is most relaxed. By definition, it is vulnerable: vitamin deficiency, prolonged absence of the sun, the accumulated fatigue. Plus, the aggressive Russian climate. Yes, even psychological aggression metropolis, with its crowds of unhappy people, polluted air. How can you not fall into despair? No wonder that depression - the most common psychiatric disorder today. He was exposed to 10% of the population older than 40 years, two thirds of them women -.
Perhaps, for many memorable commonplace saying: "All diseases of the nerves, and only ...".Well, the rest you know. Researchers have long been established that emotions and stress, especially prolonged, can lead to crashes, not only the nervous system, but also in internal organs. Depressed mental state affects the entire body - not by accident in the spring often exacerbated by chronic illness. Protective functions of the body weakens, and the person is particularly vulnerable during the change of atmospheric temperature change of seasons.
Since ancient times, doctors knew that the excitement, emotional stress, anxiety may even interfere with fertility and childbearing. In a professional environment There is the notion of "psychological infertility." In the body there is a hormonal malfunction, making it impossible to conceive. Even ectopic pregnancy, some gynecologists tend to be regarded as a manifestation of the internal vigilance, resulting in a perfectly healthy woman is disturbed patency of tubes. Tensions in the shower almost always leads to the voltage of the uterus.But it is fraught with miscarriage. Remain calm during pregnancy - the most important requirement of obstetricians. Adverse psychological factors are less important for men: during sexual intercourse may be too premature ejaculation, and his delay.
- No need to wait for the thunder clap - advises Anna Shleina. - In order to adequately respond to unforeseen problems, difficult life's situations, we need emotional stability training.I would put it in first place among the most important psychological ways to protect against negativity. It's time to take urgent action if the nerves pass, you are irritated than ever, you have "no cause" tears incessant anxiety for loved ones, do not want anyone to see. Such ways, fortunately, there are many. You can choose the one that will be your most enjoyable and effective, and can be used, and all at once. In any case, the result will be good.
Any physical activity - for the benefit of
"In a healthy body - healthy mind" - said the ancient. Therefore, training should begin with the maintenance of the physical form of the body. Any exercise is good. Scientists have proved that it was during training exercises, walking, swimming in the human body begins to produce hormones of joy - endorphins. Which means that the mood will rise, and the nerves calm down. It suffices to three or four times a week at least 20-30 minutes a day to do, for example, the simplest exercises or fitness in the gym to get the desired effect. Or at least two or three times a week for an hour a day for a walk on the street. And you notice how the mood will rise, will go irritability. And that is important, especially for women, from regular physical activity and your weight will begin to decline. This effect, any woman can lift your mood. If this fails, you can take a course of therapeutic massage. And it is quite simple and affordable: take a bath with sea water or with soothing herbs.
Lean on protein foods
We must pay attention to what you eat and drink. Weakened body requires products that can restore the "gaps" in proteins and vitamins. Specialists seen: the nerves are often dealt with those who sit on the vegetable diet, and in the body there is a deficiency of protein and vitamins, especially B vitamins, especially B6 and B12. As a consequence, are prerequisites for the development of depression . It is proved by numerous studies: the B vitamins stimulate the production of serotonin - the hormone of happiness. Incidentally, in this sense is very helpful eggs (contain vitamins B6 and B12). And the egg is choline, involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. Moderate to your diet including meat (proteins), can increase the level of the hormone responsible for a good mood.
For strong nerves need foods rich in complex vitamins B. The lack of B vitamins in people there is nervousness, chronic fatigue, etc. In addition to meat and other animal products (beef liver, heart, brain, kidneys, lamb, chicken), these contain vitamins, brewer's yeast, whole grains, flour, beans, soybeans, peas, unpolished rice. To a lesser extent - spinach, cabbage, oranges, grapefruits, melons, bananas, mushrooms, crawfish, crab, tomatoes, carrots, sorrel, parsley.
So down with the fruit and vegetable diet! Want to avoid a depression - lean (mostly) on the protein diet. And no food additives. Nutritional supplements can prolong the life of the products themselves, but not human life.
Do not irritate yourself ... alcohol and tobacco
And coffee - one of the worst enemies of our nerves. Tea contains caffeine, theine, tannin - are powerful stimulants of the nervous system. Even the salt and salty foods, and condiments - ketchup, meat and fish sauces, marinades - also harm the nervous system. Canned soups, smoked fish, smoked ham, bacon, sausage, margarine, refined sugar and products containing it, refined white flour ... These products do not give anything good. For strong nerves are needed in the unprocessed organic foods, even raw. Our liver produces cholesterol also an important nutritional component of lecithin, essential for normal functioning of nerves and heart. The richest source of lecithin - soy and embryos of different grains. For the normal condition of the nerves (and heart) rather drink daily 2 tbsp. tablespoons soy flour, stirred in a glass of water.
Add a color
But fruits and vegetables should not be a move away from if you want to bring your nerves in order, says nutritionist Eugene Moleva: "Prefer orange fruits (oranges, tangerines, carrots), and lemons, and beets. All bright, is known to increase mood. A contained in the orange fruit vitamins C, PP will create harmony in your body. Be sure to include in your diet and nuts and seeds, which contain selenium and fatty acids. A pumpkin seeds also contain magnesium, so necessary to produce the same hormone serotonin joy. These trace elements are designed by nature to change the mood for the better. Enough in the day to eat about thirty grams of grain, and to help themselves, and not gain weight from them.
And as much light
In cloudy weather, many people, especially those who are in darkened rooms, depression may occur due to the lack of bright light. This type is called seasonal depression, since it is most often observed in patients in late winter and early spring. Prevent the emergence of a sense of melancholy and sadness, you can use a person close to you. Feel free to hug and kiss your loved ones. And in the dark light the world as much as possible. Especially when you woke up and going to work. According to doctors, the short daylight hours by itself can cause depression.
For dessert eat sweets
Do not suppress the urge to eat something sweet. Just let it be "something" will be the chocolate candy or a couple of pieces of dark chocolate tiles. The weights are not add carbs, and irritable mood is gone. Just do not overdo it.
Strong nerves will reinforce good night's sleep
Sleep should be at least 8 hours a day. But should retire to bed on an empty stomach.
Herbal teas
To calm the nervous system, it is a good idea to soothing herbal teas, which include plants such as peony, valerian, motherwort herb, etc.
Heal the soul
When you feel moral weariness, from time to time listen to classical music. Research psychiatrists have shown that certain frequencies of sounds that occur at regular intervals, can heal the soul. And the disturbing sense of retreat, giving them peace and tranquility. In general, try to do what brings you joy. After all, even some nice little thing for a whole day can lift your mood.
Smile, ladies and gentlemen!
Do you remember? "I understand what your problem - you're too serious. A serious person - not a sign of the mind, ladies and gentlemen! Smile, ladies and gentlemen ... Smile ... "(" That Munchhausen "). On this subject, were born many variations: "A smile adorns any person, regardless of nationality," "Smile, and all will," "From all the smiles will be brighter" (children's song). But ... As you know, it - not our style of behavior. "Smile in the Russian communication is not a sign of politeness. In the U.S., English, German, Finnish communicative behavior smile - especially the signal politeness, so it is obligatory for welcoming and polite in conversation "- it is the opinion of one writer's observation. By the way, even the well-known of our compatriots have repeatedly drawn attention to the difference between Russian and American smiles, describing the U.S. as a country smile for the Russian people and the artificial. Maxim Gorky, for example, wrote that "the Americans have to face primarily see their teeth." The satirist Mikhail Zadornov called American smile "chronic."
Shopping - excellent psychotherapy
Became sad and melancholy - arrange a shopping trip. Having bought your favorite thing or making someone a gift, can and do recover from a bad mood. Shopping, according to psychologists, this is an excellent therapy.
Do not take setbacks and problems as bad luck
Even the most sophisticated techniques will not help get rid of depression and sadness, if you do this very much do not want to. To be strong and healthy nerves, it is necessary to send his thoughts in a positive direction. It is necessary, including the mind, to strive for happiness, success, good. Negative emotions loosen the nervous system, weaken the internal forces and paralyze the will. Always worth remembering that without your sincere desire and willingness to keep their nerves and thus protect themselves from many diseases, premature aging, and from all the stress obtained from the external world, the most advanced techniques will not help. And another thing: it is very desirable to have a purpose in life. Then there will be and inspiration, and strength of will and self-confidence. Dedicated people - are happier and healthier, as are strong in spirit. Nervous people - mostly spineless people.
It is necessary to develop a philosophical outlook on life. Many people have a shattered nervous system, because they think that they should always have good luck, luck, joy and victory. But in real life is rarely so. We must learn to accept failure, not as bad luck, but as a common phenomenon.
... Many people believe that depression - a disease that has spread and gained such great social importance only in our time and was not known before. But this is not true, "major depression" is known to doctors since antiquity. Another famous Greek physician Hippocrates described in detail under the title "melancholy" state, much like our current definition of "depression." And the recommended treatment - within the capabilities of ancient medicine, of course.
Treatment of depression Hippocrates lay in the appointment of tincture of opium, warm cleansing enemas (Hippocrates drew attention to the fact that severe depression is often accompanied by constipation, and attached great importance to this.) As for the psychological support the patient, advised him "to encourage and entertain."
Hippocrates also drew attention to the dependence of the state of many depressed patients on the weather and time of year, the seasonal periodicity of depression in many patients.
By the way. Among persons over 65 years of depression is three times more likely than other age groups (except for teenagers). The overall prevalence of depression (all varieties) in young adulthood from 15 to 40%. Naturally, in this age group, and most of all suicides.
