The Effect of Depression in Women

If you thought that depression haunts only men, then probably give a second thought to the fact, because it is women who is more affected with depression as compared to men, reason being hormones as well as society. Therefore quite often they need depression treatment better than men.



What is the relation between hormones and depression in women?



Change in hormones leads to mood fluctuation, triggering a series of emotional changes. This process sometimes causes depression. The hormones in women body cause severe depression before menopause. On the other hand during puberty too girls are equally susceptible to the depression problem in their adolescence. Similarly the age group ranging from 20 to 45 years when women reached menopausal state, is prone to depression.



Although depression can attack women at almost any stage but just before menopause its percentage is higher due to the changes taking place in hormones. One can easily witness the simple symptoms like insomnia, high blood pressure, severe changes in mood and lack of proper appetite etc.



If studies are to be believed then, women who passes from the menopausal state suffers less from the depression than those who are about to reach the phase. Hence it is important for the women to consult her doctor about the depression for appropriate depression treatment.

5 PROVEN Tips To Help You Wipeout Your Depression So You Can Live A Happy Life

You feel lonely, right?

If you feel that you are lonely then do not be afraid because that is the part of our daily life and we need to face it.

Yes, we all are alone at some phase of life so let us face it.

Depression enters our life when we face adverse conditions like failing in exams, getting rejected by a lover, or when somebody close to us passes away.

Again just part and parcel of life.

However there is a difference between being depressed and being lonely, the former might be more fatal in long term leading to lack of good health, well-being and self-esteem.

But today will be one of your lucky days as this write up will give you some fabulous ways to enjoy your daily activities and conquer the feeling of being lonely.

So, let’s get on to the first tip.


Tip #1. Try to get sufficient sunshine and light.


If you do not get enough sunshine, then your body secrets a hormone called melatonin, triggering a bad mood or making you feel lethargic.

Produced in dark, melatonin reduces the temperature of your body and makes you sluggish.


Therefore if you prefer being locked up in your room with heavy curtains, then obviously it becomes difficult for you to get up from your bed.


That is why people suffer from depression more in the winters than in any other season, just because the nights are quite longer than days.

If you are unable to get sunshine then opt for some bright lights in your room to counter the darkness.

Or...


You can simply go out of your office for lunch or take walk in the afternoon instead of driving to small distances.

There are endless choices, depends what you prefer more.


Tip #2. Keep yourself busy and try to get inspired


You can easily keep off the depression by keeping yourself busy in the activities which you enjoy most.

Try to do the tasks you like.


Well if you are facing cash shortage then also you can get engaged in the simple activities like walking in the park, taking up any sports activity, reading your favorite books or any activity which you are passionate about and would like to pursue.


A goal in life is must.

Just believe that you can achieve anything you aspire, even in the most difficult phase of your life.

Such positive attitude will help you in beating the low self esteem and depression.


Tip #3. Go ahead take a nice break and enjoy to the fullest

I am not joking.


Just forget all your daily work routines and get absorbed in any kind of music you like, give yourself a nice warm bath and spend your entire off day on the activities you like.

In short life is too short to be lonely or depressed, so go have fun.

Tip #4.healthy diet and staying fit is very important.


Foods containing higher sugar, caffeine or alcohol must be avoided.

Both sugar and caffeine might provide you certain energy for a short while but in long term they will leave you anxious, tensed and with lots of internal problems.

Alcohol which lots of people take to forget their worries is a depressant. So all you are doing is accumulating your problems rather than solving it.
Again, are you aware that including exercise routine in your daily regime is actually a great depression buster?

Ask why? Just because it makes your body to secrete Endorphin also called a happy chemical which helps in conquering depression.

Tip #5. Get out of your work circle and get in to some social activities too

No one can live in isolation; your friend’s circle is there to give you moral boost.

Spend time with your friends and engage in some activities, it will really satisfy you.



Anyway, it is a known thing that if you have the support of your group, then nothing like it.

A small thing like touch itself has so much effect …..i mean don’t you feel good if someone gives you a hug or pat at your back with few encouraging words ,that too when you are going through a bad phase?

Hug or embrace someone today.

So just give a nice hug to someone you admire, get close to your family and friends.

Such love and affection can really uplift your immune system and make you feel better.

More importantly you will have a happy life and better mental security.

So just follow these 5 simple steps and see how life changes for you.
