Depression - The Way Out !!!!

Brain of a depressed person.

You can See the difference in the diagram.
And remember this:
Satan, is the prince of DARKNESS!(depression)
Jesus, is the LIGHT of the World!!!(clarity)

Depression. The Dark hole of no return...
The place where you feel...there is no escape.
I can speak of this not only as a clinician, but also as one who has suffered.

Coming out of a 30yr marriage I fell heavily into that pit of despair.
It can happen from Grief and Loss.
Loss of a marriage.
Loss of a relationship.
Loss of a Job.
Loss of a life when moving home to the unknown.
Closing a door on familiarity....
For many reasons, depression can invade the mind!

It makes you sad, to the point where nothing makes sense.
You want to bury your head and stay in bed.
Who cares about a shower?? No one likes you anyway!
Tears fall quickly and easily often for no apparent reason.
Life takes on a pattern of no meaning and of bleakness.
So you finally see a doctor and get put onto medications...
And, there is no return.

OR, is there????

I have fought this, and I have won...
How???
After assessing patients, and.....
After much research and experimenting on myself!
I hope this helps you also!


Firstly, some blood tests..


1.Women, how are your hormone levels? Low estrogen plays a role in depression!

2. Men/Women. Thyroid levels, Low levels cause depression!!

3. Diabetes. You may be a New Type 2 Diabetic without knowing??
(This can be reversed!).
Book obtainable on-line.

Food and Fluid.
Huge Sugar Intake in Foods can increase depression!
Low water intake, can assist depression.

Vitamin and Mineral Depletion, can cause depression.

Taking 2 Magnesium every night.
Taking (morning) a Multi B or Mega B, rich in B6 and B12, AFTER FOOD!!
(without food may cause nausea)

Get those blood tests done. If hormone levels are depleted, take the meds required.

Cut out/or down on sugar. If you want sweetening, then replace with a little honey.
Drink more WATER.  6 glasses per day.  (8 on a HOT day)
Take Magnesium capsules or tablets.
Take B6 and B12 vitamins (Multi B or Mega B)

Walk every day.... or swim, or whatever you can do, (elevates brain endorphins).
Get sufficient rest and sleep. (Magnesium will help relax muscles and nerves)
Watch funny videos and laugh often. (helps brain endorphins).
Meditate and fix your thoughts on what is good.
Watch only, good uplifting happy movies.
Mix with positive people.
Replace the negative thoughts for the positive.
Example: 
Negative thought: My friend never comes over to visit me, they hate me..
Positive thought:  Where is the evidence that my friend hates me? perhaps they are busy? I'll phone them and ask them over?? And I will understand if they are busy.
