This video discusses how people with bipolar disorder sometimes face depression and other problems when the seasons change. This video gives tips to help you. Blake LeVine is a life coach and the author of Beating Bipolar to be released in 2012.
Depression Anger – Why Am I Getting Angry For No Apparent Reason ...
Depression anger can come upon you out of the blue when you're suffering from clinical depression. There's often confusion over anxiety and depression and unless you've been diagnosed by a medical practitioner, you may not be aware of the nature of your particular problem. Anger in depression can be triggered by the smallest of incidents. You could be sitting in the sun with friends and the conversation turns to something non-controversial but upon which you have your own views. So you make a throwaway comment and someone comes back with a mild contradiction. This explodes in your mind into a threat and a personal insult to you as an individual, although it was never intended as such.
The innocent remark has sent you into a sudden, deep dive, changing your mood to a dark feeling of inadequacy and self-pity from which you might not emerge for several days. It's often accompanied by a feeling of hatred and loathing toward the person who made the remark. You'll probably find yourself shaking with anger and unable to make any reply. The only thing you can do at this point is to excuse yourself and walk away to allow yourself to calm down. Hopefully, you will have a close friend or a loved one who understands your problem and who knows that this depression anger can strike at any time. If possible, explain to them later how you felt and what brought it on, so that they can recognize similar trigger situations in the future.
The same feelings can be brought on by very different incidents. One example is the sound of a child crying. You could be walking around a supermarket pushing a shopping cart, when a child suddenly starts screaming in front of you. Straightaway this can bring on the feelings of depression anger and you could find yourself wanting to harm the child to keep it from crying. You need to be aware of the effect this has on you and just walk away from your cart for a time until the child has gone. It may take you a while to calm down from this but at least you have removed yourself from a potentially difficult situation.
You should understand, too, that being prone to depression anger can also leave you highly susceptible to road rage. For that reason, it may be in your best interest to keep away from crowded highways if possible. Don't avoid driving altogether, because as an activity it can be very therapeutic. Make sure you have someone in the car with you who is aware of your condition if you do plan to drive in town or on busy roads. They can advise you to pull over in the event that your depression anger is triggered.
For many years now, Jon has been helping people informally, on a personal level, to overcome depression and to get their lives back on track. After coming through a period of deep clinical depression in the early 'nineties, Jon was determined to discover for himself what lay behind this debilitating condition. For those suffering with depression, one of the biggest frustrations is the inability of friends and family to understand the depth of the problem. It's hard for loved ones to come to terms with the fact that there is no way that someone with depression can simply "snap out of it".
Natural Cures For Depression - Health
If you are suffering from mild to moderate depression, conventional antidepressants may not be your best option because of their side effects. Over the last few years more and more natural cures for depression have been shown to be effective in alleviating depression symptoms, so taking natural remedies for depression is a credible alternative.
The most effective natural remedies for depression include antidepressant herbs, essential oils, selected vitamin and mineral supplements and physical exercise.
Herbal tinctures
Herbs for depression are best taken as a tincture. Herbal tinctures such as St John's wort, rose, vervain or oats have been shown to be beneficial for mild depression. You can buy these tinctures ready-made from herbal shops or make your own.
Take up to 2ml of your chosen tincture (tincture strength 1:2) diluted in some water, 2-3 times a day. When taking St John's wort avoid excessive exposure to sun or UV light. If you are taking any other medication, consult a specialist before taking the tincture.
Essential oils
Essential oil mixes specifically formulated for depression can be used as massage oils or put on the space between the nose and upper lip. Never apply essential oils neat on the skin. Always mix them with a base or carrier oil.
Mix 15 drops of geranium, 10 drops of bergamot and 5 drops of lavender essential oil in two tablespoons of base oil such as avocado, grapeseed, apricot kernel or sweet almond. Alternatively, use 15 drops of geranium, 12 drops of nutmeg and 8 drops of neroli oil. For chronic depression 3 drops of osmanthus oil and 3 drops of jasmine oil will bring relief.
You can also use any of the above mixes in a bath. Sprinkle your preferred mix into the water and swish around to disperse the oils. Soak in the bath for about 15 minutes.
Essential oils can also be poured on a tissue or handkerchief to sniff or used in a vaporiser. Use fewer drops of each oil for this.
Exercise
Vigorous exercise helps to counter depression. Exercise that increases your heart rate at least three hours a week (or 30 minutes a day) may help boost your body's natural mood-enhancers. Exercise in natural surroundings is particularly beneficial as contact with nature and green spaces has a positive effect upon mental health. Gardening is an ideal activity of this sort.
Mindfulness meditation and the traditional Chinese exercises of Chi Gong and Tai Chi can also be employed to relieve depression. In addition, a type of controlled breathing with roots in traditional yoga (Sudarshan kriya yoga) can provide relief for depression. The program involves several types of cyclical breathing patterns, ranging from slow and calming to rapid and stimulating. Overall, exercise is a more effective treatment for depression than antidepressants, with fewer relapses and a higher recovery rate.
Vitamins and minerals
People suffering from depression often have low vitamin B levels. By eating a healthy diet and taking vitamin supplements that contain folic acid and vitamins B6, B12 and B6 you can correct any deficiencies. Taking vitamin D together with calcium supplements or 100 mg of selenium per day will also improve your mood.
Make sure you get enough iron. A lack of iron can make depression worse. Let a health professional check your iron levels. Also balance your fats. Depressed people may have lower omega-3 fatty acid levels, so increase your intake of oily fish high in omega-3 fatty acids. Take 10g of omega-3 fatty acids per day.
Depression is a complex disease. A low mood can be improved with natural cures for depression as described above but for severe depression you should always consult a health professional.

Alcohol and depression
I have thought a lot about the recent events in my life and it made me understand the following: wise are those who learn from their's earlier mistakes. Today I would like to share my experience with alcohol and explain what is actually wrong with us when we decide to use it as a relief from stress. I said what is wrong with us not with alcohol. This means I will not pose the latter one as root of all evil, which is the simplest thing to do. It is we who decide to drink it thus we shall carry responsibility. The same statement works with other things like drugs that we take, or guns that we shoot. In reality devils are in our minds only and they don't posess things as they do in horror movies.
Back to alcohol. The main mistake is to drink it when you feel bad. Alcohol is a depressant which slows brain activity down. Most people feel relaxed after a couple of shots however more alcohol may cause depression, anxiety and/or aggression. Let me explain it in details.
- The first effect of alcohol as it reaches the outer brain is euphoria, a sense of pleasure as it lowers your inhibition. You seem to relief from stress and feel relaxed.
- With more alcohol your coordination and perception are affected, you can have memory blackouts or have difficulty moving.
- As the alcohol reaches your mid-brain, reflexes diminish, you experience confusion, stupor, and may lapse into a coma.
Depressive/agressive behaviour apears on the second stage. If you felt good before taking alcohol your mood may worsen or change into aggressive. This varies from person to person and depends on many different factors. However, if you are already depressed as you drink chances are you will feel worse. There are more chances that you'd like to self-harm and there are many cases of attempted suicide people commited in drunk state.
To sum this up: when you are depressed and feel that you need to release from stress by drinking some - remember that you will have this relief only for a small period of time and will feel worse afterwards. Remember that and decide what is good for you and what is not. Remember that you're making your own choice whether it is choice to recover or to freak yourself out.
Take care and have a nice weekend!
Special populations and depression therapy
Today I would like to start speaking about antidepressant therapy as the most common depression cure method. However, before listing different medications in-depth I'll begin with short advices for the below-mentioned groups: "When deciding on therapy, some clinically depressed patients require special considerations:
Bipolar disorder -- these patients have extreme mood swings (periods of excessive high spirits followed by severe depressive episodes). Typically, the antidepressants are augmented with mood stabilizers.
Children/adolescents -- The SSRI fluoxetine is the only effective (and approved) antidepressant for this age group. There have been reports that children on antidepressants are more likely to commit suicide than those who are not on antidepressants; while some data suggest that this may be true, it has not been proven conclusively. Primary care providers need to weigh the risks of antidepressant therapy versus untreated depression. Most often, treatment carries fewer risks of suicide than non-treatment.
Pregnant/postpartum women -- Depression can be a common symptom during pregnancy and postpartum -- it usually corrects itself, but sometimes severe depression must be treated (in about 10 percent of pregnant/postpartum women). Antidepressants can pass to the fetus and through breast milk. The effects of antidepressants on the developing fetus and newborn are not well known. Therefore, doctors should carefully consider the risks and benefits of treatment.
Treatment for depression is not a short-term process but a long-term project with specific goals of remission and maintenance. Multiple approaches of medication, psychotherapy and patient education are most effective in the treatment of MDD. Close consultation with a physician and/or psychiatrist can provide the best treatment options".

Now good luck and you can now proceed to:
- Noradrenergic and Specific Serotonin Antidepressants (NaSSA)
- Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI)
- Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRI)
- Tricyclic Antidepressants
- Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI)
10 Tips to help someone with depression
Sometimes it is hard to find the right words. Sometimes even the best intentions may hurt. This post is dedicated to people who know someone with depression. So what to do if one of your friends or relatives is depressed. You feel that you need to comfort her/him. Here are the things to know. Before you start here is the rule you should remember:
First do no harm. Whatever you decide to tell the depressed person, be sure to estimate all pro and contra before saying a thing. Be careful with your words, gestures, mimics.
1. Don't ask what happened. If you lack information about the causes of the person's depression, let her/him be the last who you ask about it. A single memory of some sad thing may trigger a person and make her/his state even worse. Leave these "are you ok" and "what's wrong" things to movie characters.
2. Offer help not pity. If all you want is to say sorry - better make sure to also offer comfort. The depressed person already pities her/himself so again don't make things worse. Sometimes it is as painful to listen someone sorry you as to think about some sad things that trigger bad mood. But:
3. Offer help only if you can actually help. This is the must. If you promised something - do it. Imagine how will your depressed friend or relative feel when s/he realizes that waited for nothing.
4. Tell the depressed person how important he/she is to you. When depressed people tend to think that noone cares about them. Tell them what you love about them, show that you really care. Offer them all your support.
5. Remind them of their positive traits. Depressed person may often think about their bad attributes only and forget about the good ones. Be the one to point out their good side, treat them the jewels they are.
6. Gently encourage the person to do something. I say gently. Don't force them do something if they don't want to. Offer them to go out with you or do something together. The best thing you can do is to get them truly interested with something.
7. Listen when the person wants to talk. A chance to speak out things that worry oneself can be a relief. Sad emotions can burn from the inside untill the person speak them or writes them down.
8. Don't take their pessimism personally. If the depressed person ignores or declines your advice, - don't get frustrated. Depressed person may often think there is no way out. This is just a symptome of their illness. Also don't view someone else's depression as your own fault.
9. Be a good model of positive behaviour. Environment plays a great role in one's mood. So do friends and relatives. Don't multiply sadnes. Influence your dear one to become more healthy by becoming more healthy yourself.
10. The last but not the least don't overdo. Too much concern may be as annoying as loneliness.
When depression really starts?
The depression doesn't start from nowhere. There are usually life experiences that are the cause. Here is the theory I found useful in self-help treatment. It helps to deal with some repeating patterns of your behavior that you may not like and also it may help you to find out what really causes your depression.In the following theory there are 3 types of states:- Conscious - things that happen to you and around you that you aware of (you are aware that you're reading this text).- Subconscious (while reading this text you're also seeing the tip of your nose though after I wrote it the knowledge of the fact that you see it too jumped to your consciousness) - some things that happen to you right now but your mind isn't occupied with them - same with walking or eating - you don't need to think about each your next move - you just put one leg in front of the other or manipulate your fork and knife and food.- Unconscious. This is going to be a bit long but I hope to explain it. Please ask questions if you find something confusing.Let's say there's a person who's constantly late to his job. No matter what he does to avoid being late in some way or another he slows down. He blames himself and starts overeating because this helps him feel better. After awhile he realizes he's overweight and blames himself again and promises himself to stop overeating. This causes stress too. He becomes annoyed and starts yelling at his family members and later on he hates this behavior of his too etc etc etc the poor man becomes a time bomb. What he should think about is why he actually was always late to his job. The reason is not obvious. Let's now return to what unconscious state is.When we're young our mind registers all the incoming signals and tries to classify them. Like our ancestors tried to classify predator/lightning/darkness/... things into dangerous and fire/apples/fresh water/sex into safe things. In a baby's mind mother is in good things because she means safety. On the other hand a dog that scared him will be in bad things. But not just that particular dog but any dog = danger. Let's imagine this child and his parents drove somewhere and suddenly got into a car crash. What would he feel and see? He'll probably feel dizziness and maybe itching in his belly, he'll see his crying mother and also the sun shining and reflecting in a nearby puddle. He'll hear the birds singing. The kid grows up and some day he may go down the street and see a crying woman. He has just had lunch and his belly itches. The day is bright and the sun shines and sun-rays reflect in a puddle and the birds are singing in the nearby park. Suddenly for no obvious reason the man suffers panic attack and runs away. Why? Because just now he's experienced the things that his mind long ago considered linked to danger. This is what his unconscious mind told him.Now let's get back to the guy who's always late. When he was a kid his mother gave him sweets every day. He had a girlfriend who he always gave half of his sweets because he wanted her to like him and be his friend. One day the little girl was late and the kid was hungry so he waited and waited for her but then ate all sweets. When the girl came and found that out she first burst in tears and then went to the boy's mother and told her he's the one who broke the window. The mother was angry and spanked her son. He never told a girl a thing just stopped seeing her. Now he's a grown up man who forgot this story and now works in the office. He used to be friends with one of his colleagues but once he found out that this colleague has told their boss that the man doesn't pay enough attention to his work. What is the man's reaction? You're right. Each time he goes to job he unconsciously wants to avoid it and that makes him always be late.Now what should be done in order to break this circle? First of all if you have some behavior of yours that you don't like first of all try to register all the feelings you're having: itchiness, crying spells, etc. Then close your eyes and try to think about your feelings and find any association that comes to your mind. Don't try to seek for it just relax and let your mind show you an answer. If you remembered some situation try to live it again - to feel it. Don't fight your tears or angriness or whatever feelings you have. Express them in the way you should in that situation of long ago. This may make you want to reconsider your feelings about some present situations and thus change the program. Understand that whatever happens to you is not your fault. It is your unconscious mind that dictates your reactions. However now you've realized why and now the things from the unconscious moved to consciousness means you can control them!
