What causes depression ? How to deal with a depressed person ? How to cope with depression ?

Some forms of depression are caused by a chemical imbalance. Medication is the only cure for that. I took Prozac, .25mg (that's a small dose) for five years. It worked wonders for me. I was suicidal. It made me feel normal! I have been off of it now for more than eight years and am still normal. Depression is a horrible condition.

depression is caused due to some unexpressed feeling deep in their mind.u must make the person realise that there r people around to care for them.show them love,take them to various places,make them feel important.keep talking to them.any food given with care works well.take them to a psychiatrist.he will try to retrieve the hidden memory that is depressing the person.

there r different reasons sometimes the environment makes u feel depressed for a short time which is not serios things like change (new job,new place), weather (if u dont like cloudy weather), seeing an accedent or hearing about someones tragedy but at times its on going and it should be treated, when u loose intrest in everything, dont talk to people, and like to be alone all the time

There are many reasons of it among them physical, mental, social, economic, spiritual, etc. are major. So limit your expectations within your achievable reach is best way to deal with. Live in real life which have been granted to you.

Alot of reason why people get depress, in my personal experience, stress, family problem, money problem, work, loneliness, debts each to its own contributes why we get depressed. How to cope with it is to just sit down, read a nice book, let time go by, do some other things more relevant like cleaning the room, read a good book, have a chat with your neighbor, call a friend, play games on your computer.... just to set it aside and your not concentrated on whats causing you to be depress for that moment. Sleep and most importantly pray over it. God knows what its all about. Any food can be a comfort food, but I would suggest you just eat whatever you deemed to be appropriate else you might be eating unhealthy food without you realizing that... some fruits would be nice to eat at least you also get a chance to go to the stalls or market and have a few chit chats with the vendors or saleslady and that might help ease you of whats bugging your mind. Depression is a momentary state of focusing on the negative outsets of our life... just accept the fact that we arent perfect. its not a genetic factor.... we just need to surround ourselves with more possitive people.

a low level of litio in your body can affect it
