Note by Editor in Chief: Having suffered from severe depression many years ago, the only remedy talked
about was prescribed medication. I often wondered back when, how people coped with depression in the
1800's prior to the development of mood altering drugs.
The side effects of these drugs prevented me from experiencing my life experiences fully. It actually kept me
from being happily excited, and yet they did keep me from being severely depressed. The down side for me was
that it took a extended amount of time to find the correct medication and dosage for me. In fact, after a few
years, the search for the right medication turned me into an emotional zombie. Life was just a flat line that
was simply not enjoyable.
As usual, the best medicine is Mother Nature. Prior to 1940's, fast foods, processed foods or poisonous
pesticides rarely existed.. Due to busy schedules, the ease of fast foods and processed foods was our go to
food. Quite simply, the majority stopped purchasing REAL FOOD and began eating convenience foods
(remember the good old TV Dinners?).
Today, people can begin feeling better without medication by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Some
lifestyle changes and food adjustments can help solve this easily. Thanks to Collective Evolution and author
Jennifer Giustra-Kozek, LPC, NBCC for this article that bring us back to Mother Nature.

As defined by psychologists, a person has a major depressive episode when he or she has symptoms of
major depressive disorder, including depressed mood or feelings of emptiness, hopelessness or
irritability, that last for two weeks or more. And, according to the National Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey (NAMCS), the number of people diagnosed with depression has increased by 450% since 1987.
It is often recommended that we start taking a medication to reduce symptoms. However, medication
often comes with sometimes dangerous side-effects. Here are some simple ways to feel happier without
needing to take a pill.
