Depression Treatment

There are so many options these days for treating depression. One of which I am strongly against. Pharmaceutical Drugs are the worst way for depression treatment. I am sure there is a level of dosage a person under depression treatment needs to take during therapy to function during therapy or counseling. I just think that when a patient is under this prescription they need to be monitored and a follow up should be scheduled accordingly to make sure there is not a mis-use of the drug or drugs.

I have written an article about depression treatment before.

How to Deal with Depression

Self Medicate Depression

I just wanted to write this follow up article to express my view on more positive options for depression treatment. I am really passionate about helping people combat depression and anxiety. It is my belief that as a community we can help bring people out of this affliction if we are aware of the triggers which are mostly caused by our own doing as a society. To get to the root cause we need to bring awareness to depression symptoms and causes. We as a community need to change the way we address the methods to depression treatment. What is acceptable and what is not. We have a lazy attitude thinking that the pill is the answer to everything. There are so many other ways to address this affliction. Here are some natural approaches. Here are some tips that can help someone feeling better right now…..

Alternative to depression treatment.

• Get in a Routine
• Set Goals
• Exercise
• Eat Healthy
• Get Enough Sleep
• Take on Responsibilities
• Challenge Negative Thoughts
• Take Natural Supplements (check with your Doctor!) Fish Oil, Folic Acid, Blue Berries……
• Do Something New
• Try to Have Fun
• Meditation
• Music Therapy
• Avoid Coffee Drink Green Tea Instead
• Expose Yourself to Sunlight
• Laugh!

There has to be a better way to beat this depression thing and drugs cannot be the only depression treatment that is out there. Do some research! Talk to someone about it! Cry, laugh! Go online and read positive quotes. See a happy comedy. Stay away from toxic relationships and environments. My hope is that you have found something in this article that could help. I am clearly not a doctor or a psychologist. I am someone who loves people and wants you or your loved one to get better.

Start with going through my blog-posts and seeing if it cheers you up. Smile, be happy and be well! I Love you whoever you are…. But you are important to me that is why I am writing this article

My Ativan Dosage. I don’t take Ativan. I have a natural drug that is created in my mind through happiness. I have helped quite a few people that are on an Ativan Dosage… I noticed they are not the same as I once knew. Some of the people I have met through family members or loved one stated that the person that I am helping is not the same person before they were on that Ativan Dosage. Years ago I suffered from anxiety and took Paxil. Paxil has similar if not the same effects as the Ativan Dosage. From what I have learned with dealing with people on Ativan is that they are like Zombies. They tell me they are feeling better as compared to not being on the drug. (Ativan Withdrawal!) The Ativan Dosage is a lifesaver to them. I had one person I was mentoring that used to take Ativan and Alcohol. That is not a great mixture and a very dumb move. Come On! Ativan and Alcohol??? Are you trying to kill yourself?(Ativan and alcohol overdose!)

Being on those anti-anxiety, anti-depressant drugs has so many side effects that I do not know what is worse…..(Just Like the Commercials)

Ativan side effects
• Drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness;
• blurred vision;
• sleep problems (insomnia);
• Muscle weakness, lack of balance or coordination;
• Amnesia or forgetfulness, trouble concentrating;
• Nausea, vomiting, constipation;
• Appetite changes; or.
• Skin rash.

To me that is counterproductive. I have had success with a few individuals where I gave them a few basic tools to open their eyes to a new way to deal with their affliction. They weaned off of their Ativan Dosage and any other dosage they were taking. I am not putting down the drug at all. I feel there are some severe cases where the drug can be useful during counseling to gain the attention of the patient or client…but the overall goal is to help the person become self-sufficient at working those problems out. The root of the mindset they are in is their inability to remain or maintain a happiness state of mind. Working on the mindset is far more productive.

Getting to the root of why the person is unhappy and why they do not love themselves is the ultimate goal, as I mentioned previously. In my experience people in a depressive mindset will self-medicate…. Using the Ativan Dosage, Ativan and Alcohol as an escape but not a tool to heal. Drug prescriptions are dangerous. Most often than not they are prescribed with no follow up. The follow up is left to the patient. The patient does not have a good perception of themselves to begin with so giving them the control of that decision is destructive. What the hell are you thinking doctors?! I was on Paxil and Zoloft for a few years, and the dosage was for 2-3 months at a time and follow up. I would just re-fill and no questions were asked at the nurse’s station.

My point for this post is not to discourage you from getting this type of treatment, Ativan Dosage or any other…. I want to bring light to the fact that there should be more responsible ways to treat depression and anxiety. Rooting out the true cause of why they are not happy is the main focus.
I am sure this has all been covered and medicine is compassionate enough now to realize the errors of the past. I am only stating my opinion. I am only going by my experience and interaction with the people I have helped or have been in contact with.

I Love You… As Always!
