How to Naturally Treat
Depression
• Exercise and sleep
– Keeping yourself active, even if it’s just a walk every day or
ten pushups before bed, these can be good goals to set for
yourself and give your brain a massive rush to boost your
mood. Similarly, putting yourself on a sleep schedule and
getting a full eight hours also helps your body stay rested and
refreshed, taking away some of the tiredness that depression
brings.
• Recognize you are not alone
– Whether you must see a therapist or you feel comfortable with
family, the best way to combat depression is to be with others.
Understand that your family and friends want to help you get
better, and fighting solidarity is the strongest way to combat
depression. People will want to help you, but you must reach
out and accept the help.
