How to get rid of depression without medication?
In modern and mobile in every respect, a person, especially in years and the elderly, may feel such a feeling as uselessness, worthlessness, abandonment or, allegedly, a lack of understanding of his society, the impossibility of inscribing it into real reality. Such a person begins to gradually become isolated in himself, becomes depressed, a feeling of inner anxiety is growing.
The situation worsens with the further passage of time, and if you do not take serious and urgent measures - a person can simply become lost to the community, and worse - end life, die. Indeed, the older a person becomes, the sharper he begins to perceive everything: lagging behind the rabid rhythm of life, a lack of understanding of modern life principles, the emergence of new "high teck" technologies, etc. There is nowhere to work and can no longer be in full force for health reasons, you can not even rely on retirement, children and grandchildren are grown up, you do not need their usual care and constant care, personal life is narrowed to the limits of the apartment or, at best, giving. ..
It is clear,that the possibility of falling into a state of depression directly depends on the nervous system of a person, that he is a sanguine person or a choleric by nature, in what external conditions or in what environment he lives, what is the direct and reverse connections of this person to the surrounding world.
One - finds in himself the inner forces of this something to oppose, change or somehow brighter and richer saturate his inner world, engage in some useful craft, go to public work, etc. The other - continues to close in itself and further, waving his whole hand, without taking any measures to get out of this state. All such negative feelings are summed up and a person simply falls into the arms of the disease, in other words - gets sick.
The catalyst of such a state can be some kind of a person's disease, especially if it is not treatable. All, that's the soil for such an additional and serious illness as depression. In other words, as a disease, this can not be called. And like any illness, you just have to treat it. Treatment with a doctor is quite natural. Reception of soothing drugs and herbal infusions is useful and necessary. But this alone will be too little. Depression is darkness in the mind, inside the person. You just need to "light" the bright light inside yourself, step forward to meet your temporarily lost health. The inner light will burn from the presence of optimism and love for life, faith and hope in the successful exit from depression.
How can you try to help yourself in this case? Only finding ways to get out of the vicious circle of loneliness and depression. Enjoy every day, the successes of children and grandchildren, white light and sun, summer and winter, rain and snow, birds and animals, love them!

Be sure to lead an active image of your life: if possible, settle for some kind of easy work, even if you are poorly paid, go fishing or take a walk in the woods, cinema or just friends, talk more. Yes, it is difficult - to force yourself to get up from the couch, but know that it is only for you, and no one else.
If you are a woman, also admire yourself, as in the youth before the mirror, look after yourself as before, and if you are a man - again prove it by actions that it is! The feeling of youth and fulfilled duty, joy will return, that today something that yesterday could not have been said about was done. Only in this way - gradually, let one step to the day, but only forward and forward.
Believe - one day will come one day, that you will feel the worthlessness of your past being depressed, and even become a little ashamed for the lost time. You will feel that sadness and disbelief have gone somewhere, and faith in a good future has come and just joy from the consciousness that you did it yourself, then you defeated yourself.
