Bad mood, melancholy and despondency are familiar to everyone. Sometimes they are seasonal. For some, unhappy days come in late autumn, for others - in spring. Everyone knows the love of the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin for the autumn season, but the poet did not endure spring well. But if the bad mood does not go away, everything around is devoid of bright colors, there is no strength for anything, appetite disappears, insomnia sets in, life seems meaningless and thoughts arise about falling asleep and not waking up, then we can say with confidence that you have depression.

Step 1
How to get rid of depression
There are many ways to treat this disease, the method of treatment depends on the type of depression and its manifestations. In severe cases, you need to contact a specialist. With the initial signs of mental illness, you can cope on your own.
Step 2
What should not be done in any case - try to get rid of depression with alcohol. Even if at first it seems to you that your condition has improved. Drinking alcohol only aggravates the situation and sometimes serves as an impetus for suicide. If possible, change the environment. Communicating with nature (walking in the woods, along the river bank) has excellent therapeutic effects for various mental ailments.
Step 3
The most effective treatment for depression is physical activity. You can choose running, aerobics, swimming. The famous American doctor Kenneth Cooper told the world a story about a man who, in a state of depression, decided to commit suicide. But he decided to do it in an original way - by running. Daily runs, small at first and gradually increasing, will help you regain your joy in life. You only need to make an effort on yourself once, get up and run. If running for some reason does not suit you, go to the pool. Water itself is a good way to get rid of negative thoughts. And in combination with moderate physical activity while swimming or doing water aerobics, it is an excellent remedy for depression.
You can't get out of a depression quickly, as if by a wave of a magic wand, but do it step by step every day - and everything will work out.
