How to Treat Depression With No Pills

Depression is a medical condition where an individual has feelings of worthlessness and sadness, is plagued by chronic fatigue and is overly pessimistic. Millions of Americans deal with depression every year and are on numerous prescriptions---many of which don't work. No matter what the "new" pill prescribed claims to do, it often doesn't. There is no quick fix for depression so sufferers have to look for alternatives. Some turn to herbal remedies and begin to restructure their diets and exercise regimes. Soon after, their moods begin to change, and they become healthier and happier.

  Buy a journal. Don't use an old notebook that is lying around your house as you would be more likely to quit journaling. Every night, write down what you are worried about and what you are grateful for. You'll soon see that what you have trumps your worries.

  Meditate or pray. No matter your religion, you can take time to be still and reflect. Do not ponder excessively about your future. Instead, think about your day, what you have accomplished and what you will accomplish tomorrow. If you do pray, pray and ask for courage and strength to overcome life's obstacles.
