Depression is something that millions of Americans suffer from each year, and if you don’t do anything about it, you could be living a life that isn’t very fulfilling. Because depression is one of the main issues we help our patients through with counseling in Stapleton, we wanted to give you a few natural alternatives to antidepressants that may be able to boost your charisma throughout your daily life!
Start practicing mindfulness!
What if you started to respond differently than what you’re used to when it comes to your thoughts? Based off of MBCT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, a method that’s helped people prevent relapse when it comes to depression, the way you change your thought process or attitude can cause your mind and body to shy away from depression! So, stay strong in your thoughts and even ask us about MBCT to learn more!
Talk to your medical doctor about roseroot herb.
In a study that was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, individuals who had been suffering from depression who had poor reactions to antidepressant medication started taking roseroot, or Rhodiola Rosea. Patients who had started taking roseroot saw a marginal difference, but be careful and talk to your doctor before taking anything on your own, because many individuals reported side effects such as nausea.
