Dump These Harmful Myths And Ease Your Depression Quickly
A speedy recovery from anxiety and depression is often hampered by a number of harmful myths
believed by sufferers and practitioners alike. In believing these myths, anxiety and depression are
prolonged so it's absolutely vital you are aware of the following myths so you select the correct
treatment and get better quickly.
In today's modern society, the food police are continually advocating their belief that a poor
diet is at the root of all of our ills. Indeed, obesity is a major health problem and increases your
risk of heart attack and strokes. But is treating depression and anxiety with foods effective? No
it isn't because a poor diet has no bearing whatsoever on anxiety or depression and this is easily proven
by asking a simple question: Does everyone who eats a poor diet suffer from anxiety and depression
and does everyone who eats a healthy diet never suffer from them? In both cases the answer is no!
Your diet will not cause anxiety or depression and it won't cure them. However, eating a healthy
diet will boost your overall health and healthy eating should be a part of your treatment to
address anxiety and depression. Feeling good physically will help you feel better mentally.
Another common myth regarding anxiety and depression is the theory that both have their roots in
past events, even going back as far as childhood. Repeatedly going over events from the past is a
major part of depression, and of course, the past can be a very cruel place to live. But replaying
past events is again just one of the symptoms. Therapy that solely focuses on addressing events from
the past in a misguided search to attribute the cause of your depression is flawed in two ways:
First, one single event from the past will not cause depression or anxiety. Yes, certain events
from the past - especially abuse - can cause problems but these problems are not part of anxiety or
depression and need specialist counselling. Secondly, replaying events from the past will do
nothing whatsoever to help you deal with the problems and circumstances you face here and now.
Instead of concentrating on the past, concentrate instead on coping with and solving, the problems
and issues you are confronted with at the moment. This will help you
relieve anxiety and depression far more than digging up the
past.
A number of sufferers believe they suffer from "chronic depression", meaning that they think
their depression is so severe it is chronic. This is not the case. Chronic refers to the length
of the episode of depression. So, if you're depressed for one month, this isn't chronic depression,
even though you may be severely depressed. However, if you are feeling depressed for 3 months and
more, this is what is called "chronic depression", because the depression is ongoing. What's
important to realize is that the length of time of your depression has no bearing on treating it.
If you've been depressed for a month or depressed for five years, treating the root cause will have
the same benefits and will ease depression very effectively.
Anxiety and depression are all in the mind. This is another huge myth, mainly believed by people
who have never suffered from these problems. There are many other symptoms that are part of anxiety
and depression: back ache, muscle cramps, exhaustion, loss of appetite or increase in appetite,
sleeplessness, hyper-tension, and loss of sex drive to name but a few. Dismissing anxiety and
depression as being "all in the mind" simplifies them and shows a complete lack of understanding
about them. All of these symptoms combined make it so very hard for sufferers to do even the
simplest of daily tasks and cause so much anguish. If anyone tells you it's "all in your mind"
ignore them, they don't know what they're talking about.
When you suffer from anxiety and depression, exhaustion is one of the hardest symptoms to deal
with. Because of this crushing exhaustion, many sufferers believe that a lack of sleep is the main
cause of anxiety, stress and depression. The belief is that the less restful sleep you get the more
prone you are to these illnesses. This is putting the cart before the horse. Sleeplessness - or
even too much sleep but still feeling exhausted - is a symptom of both anxiety and depression.
The exhaustion you feel occurs because you have descended into anxiety or depression and it
happens because of a sequence of events common to both anxiety and depression. You don't feel
exhausted first, then descend into anxiety or depression after. The good news is that when you
treat the root cause of anxiety and depression, the exhaustion eases because you will enjoy
restful sleep again.
Being aware of the myths that don't help you get better will give you a big advantage in finding
relief from anxiety and depression. Put your knowledge to work for you and concentrate on selecting
the right treatment and you will soon feel much better!
