Depression is a CHOICE

More people are diagnosed with depression today than any other time in history. There are countless drugs being sold to people claiming that they can "fix" the chemical imbalance in their head. Many of these drugs contain side effects such as
nausea
increased appetite and weight gain
loss of sexual desire and other sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction and decreased orgasm
fatigue and drowsiness
insomnia
dry mouth
blurred vision
constipation
dizziness
agitation
irritability
anxiety
As you can see these side effects seem rather extreme, All of these side effects will only make you more depressed. Gaining weight, insomnia and anxiety are only going to contribute to your depression. The claim that depression is a chemical imbalance is utterly hilarious. Your brain is full of chemicals , some of which fire more frequently than others depending on whether your eating something delicious or you have burned your hand on a stove. So when medication "balances" these chemicals it makes your positive chemicals such as dopamine fire less often along with your negative chemicals. So essentially you become a walking unfeeling zombie. So clearly medication isn't the best answer.

How to combat depression

Depression is a choice . It's a state of mind. To combat depression you have to realize that your perceived world is created 90% by your mind and 10% by outside influences. No matter what the circumstances are you have to believe that you have control over your mind. This is why meditation is extremely helpful in battling depression. When you can control your mind you can make your experience on this planet as joyous as possible. So I encourage you to live up to your full potential and power by doing what you love when you love to do it with who you love. Much love from Mysticwitch
