How to Beat The Summer Time Blues
How to Beat The Summer Time Blues
So no one really likes to talk about being sad, the reality is that in an ever-changing world full of stressors and financial concerns it becomes hard to avoid a sense of collective stress/despair. It is hard to get through one day any more without being bombarded by news of economic turmoil. The U.S. unemployment rate today is 9.5%, with a total of 14.6 million jobless people. Every where we turn, some one we know has lost his or her job or has had to give up their home. So while we may be fortunate and gainfully employed and still living in our homes, we sense the sadness of those around us. Before we know, we start wondering what it is all for?
I believe the key to warding off those blues is to maintain a healthy perspective. Remembering and taking comfort in believing that each one of us can deliberately reach for joyous thoughts can be very helpful in maintaining a healthy outlook. A book entitled Feeling Good The New Mood Therapy By David Burns, MD teaches us just this and how to achieve mental health. In fact 70% of depressed individuals who read Feeling Good reported improvement in depressive like symptoms with no therapy. Also these patients maintained their improvement for up to three years. David Burns book, a novel antidepressant, some would say, and a must read for those suffering form depression!
Other blues fighting suggestions include: fasting from the news watching the news has been shown to intensify feelings of sadness and anxiety in some people. Making sure to get 8-9 hours of sleep per night. Participating in a regular balanced exercise program is essential for hormonal balancing and stress reduction. Avoiding all refined sugars and artificial sweeteners helps fight depression. Practicing affirmations, yoga, and meditation can also help maintain a sense of balance and inner calm.
Feelings of sadness should come and go and not be accepted as a part of everyday life. If we accept feeling down as being normal, we may be downplaying a very serious medical condition known as major depressive disorder. Major depressive disorder should not be confused with a transiently depressed mood, a normal reaction to specific life experiences. A sad or depressed mood is only one of its many signs and symptoms. Major depressive disorder, as defined by the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM-IV), manifests with at least five of the following nine symptoms, one being a depressed mood or anhedonia, present most of the day nearly every day for a minimum of two consecutive weeks:
Depressed mood,
Anhedonia (lack of ability to experience joy)
Sleep disturbance,
Change in appetite or weight
Psychomotor problems
Lack of energy
Poor concentration
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Suicidal ideation
If depressive thoughts or continuous worrying persist for more than two weeks, a medical health professional should be consulted immediately. If a person's depression is severe enough to include suicidal thoughts or contemplation, immediate medical attention should be obtained.
