Prevention is better than cure, and the same applies fordepression prevention.

• For people who have suffered from depression before,they will be able to notice that they are going down thesame path again; it is not very difficult to recognize thesigns and symptoms of depression during a relapse.Such people should immediately try and beatdepression by ensuring certain basic lifestyle issues arewell taken care of.

• Some important ways to fight off and deal wdepression include – sticking to a balanced diesleeping well, thinking positively, keeping oneself occupied and engaged as much as possible, and aboveall seeing a therapist immediately when in a downwardspiral.



• Every passing hour, day, and week will only drag aperson further into the problem and, if one isn’t able tomanage one’s emotions and moods, they can get out of control and there is a high risk of suffering fromdepressive episodes once again.

• Research studies have confirmed that certain chemicalimbalances, especially concerned with serotonin, areresponsible for depression and it has also beeestablished that serotonin can be produced with regularexercise. Therefore, a natural and simple way tprevent depression is to commit to the following habitswhen one is going through a healthy, normal, and greatphase in life.

1. Inside, the depressed person often experiences a lot

of anxiety. This can lead to them having panic attacks.2. It may seem that there’s nothing you can do aboutyour stress level. But you have a lot more control than youmight think. Managing stress is all about taking charge:taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, yourschedule, your environment, and the way you deal withproblems.3. The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time forwork, relationships, relaxation, and funplus the resilienceto hold up under pressure and meet challenges head on.4. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious

health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly everysystem in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppressthe immune system, increase the risk of heart attack andstroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the agingprocess. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain,leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

Scientifically The Body’s Stress Response

When you perceive a threat, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of

stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones rouse the body

for emergency action.

Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens,

and your senses become sharper. These physical changes increase your strength and

stamina, speed your reaction time, and enhance your focus – preparing you to either

fight or flee from the danger at hand.

• Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise is an important part of depressioprevention. Any form of exercise, be it dance, yoga, or otherphysical activity, will help relax and de-stress a person by



increasing the amount of mood-elevating chemical

transmitters in the human brain.

Exercise helps release endorphins which relax muscles,reduce stress, and induce good sleep. Therefore, bexercising regularly, one is reducing the risk of depressionand its symptoms manifesting.

• Healthy Diet

Nutrition is another critical component but often overlookedcomponent of depression prevention. Health is wealth -simple but extremely true!

• Overeating, starving, eating irregularly –

All these habits influence and affect the body in more waysthan one can ever imagine. In our effort to keep up with amillion tasks and items on our to-do lists, we fail to takegood care of ourselves.

• Drinking enough water

Everyday and eating at least two helpings of fre

vegetables helps regulate and keep the physical bodnourished with adequate minerals and vitamins.

The amount of toxin builds up in the body increases withlack of exercise, lack of sleep, and bad eating habits.Therefore, it is extremely important to detoxify and flushtoxins out from the human body from time to time. By



investing a little into good exercising, eating, and sleepinghabits, one can certainly help considerably reduce the risk of depression setting in. These habits indeed go a long waytoward depression prevention.

• Speak out and Share your feelings

More often than not, human beings share their joys but nottheir sorrows. Most of us do not like being sympathized,empathized, and take a lot of pride in putting up a strongfront; we often refuse to show our vulnerable sides to therest of the world.

While all this is very well, what we inevitably end up doing isrepressing and suppressing our sorrows and bitterness. Mostof these repressed feelings end up occupying a huge chunk

of space in the subconscious, and this is highly unhealthy.

Just like how toxins build up in the physical body and itbecomes important to flush them out, it is equally importantto flush out mental and emotional toxins, too. These mentaland emotional toxins are in fact far more dangerous thanphysical toxins, and getting rid of them is an essential part of depression prevention.

At the subconscious level, these feelings fester and manifest

in the form of bad dreams, nightmares, and fear, which inturn become one of the main reasons for lack of sleep,worry, tension, and anxiety. Therefore, it is always better toexpress one’s feelings to another person as far as possible.Get them out of your chest, be done with saying it - you willactually experience relief and feel much lighter. This too, isimportant for depression prevention.

At the end of the day, we all are human beings, no matterwhat persona each one of us projects into the outside world,we’re all the same inside. Pride, ego, arrogance, jealousy,envy, anger, hatred, etc, are real emotions that real peoplefeel - there is nothing wrong with feeling these from time-to-time.



However, what is important for depression prevention andgood health in general is for these emotions to channelized and released, especially by talking about themand expressing them.

One must always remember that nobody is perfect; we areall extremely imperfect beings with a good side and a dark

side. First, admit to yourself, then share your innermostthoughts and feelings with another person or write about it,but never let it build inside.

Encourage children to talk about their feelings, what makesthem angry, sad, happy, etc, and cultivate the same habitwith friends, family, mate, lover, etc, because this will go along way in ensuring one learns to open up and speak up.This way, one will not feel lonely and depressed ever, and

depression prevention will be better achieved.

• Keep yourself occupied

Keeping oneself occupied is another important part odepression prevention.

An idle man’s mind is a devil’s workshop! The human brain,with its extraordinary network of neurons andneurotransmitters, can race at the speed of light or even

faster. Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure thatthis clever mind is occupied and always entertains onlycreative, productive, and positive thoughts as far apossible.

Developing new hobbies, trying to solve a cryptic crosswordor Sudoku, listening to music, joining a dance or aerobicsprogram - these are all ways to de-stress. By engaging

oneself in positive physical and mental activities, one isensuring one doesn’t slip into the abyss of darkness – this iscritical for depression prevention.

Admit, accept, and learn to recognize the onset depression



These are some simple and important ways one can preventdepression before it really sets in. After all, depressionprevention is always better than trying to overcome thecondition after it becomes full-blown.

• Keep SMILING

Lifestyle changes that can treat depression but not an alternative to

Medications.

• Exercise. Regular exercise is a powerful depression fighter. Not

only does it boost serotonin, endorphins, and other feel-good

brain chemicals, it triggers the growth of new brain cells and

connections, just like antidepressants do. Best of all, you don’t

have to train for a marathon in order to reap the benefits. Even a

half-hour daily walk can make a big difference. For maximum

results, aim for 30 to 60 minutes of activity on most days.

• Nutrition. Eating well is important for both your physical and

mental health. Eating small, well-balanced meals throughout the

day will help you keep your energy up and minimize mood

swings. While you may be drawn to sugary foods for the quick

boost they provide, complex carbohydrates are a better choice.

They'll get you going without the all-too-soon sugar crash.• Sleep. Sleep has a strong effect on mood. When you don't get

enough sleep, your depression symptoms will be worse. Sleep

deprivation exacerbates irritability, moodiness, sadness, and

fatigue. Make sure you're getting enough sleep each night. Very



few people do well on less than 7 hours a night. Aim for

somewhere between 7 to 9 hours each night.

• Social Support. Strong social networks reduce isolation, a key

risk factor for depression. Keep in regular contact with friends

and family, or consider joining a class or group. Volunteering is a

wonderful way to get social support and help others while alsohelping yourself.

• Stress Reduction. Make changes in your life to help manage

and reduce stress. Too much stress exacerbates depression and

puts you at risk for future depression.
