Depression And Anxiety Medication Can Save Lives

By Margaret R. Ferguson


The results of anxiety can manifest itself differently from person to person. Some people feel panicky and have trouble breathing, may pass out, and do not want to be in public places in case an attack comes on. Others become irritated and snappy and have a hard time controlling their emotions. Still others find themselves in a state of depression, unable to function correctly, becoming non-responsive to others, refusing to participate in real world activities, withdrawing into themselves and becoming self destructive by overeating, drinking or sleeping constantly.Fortunately, depression & anxiety medication can help to manage the symptoms associated with anxiety produced depression.

The constant battle between home life and professional life is one of the major causes of depression and anxiety in today's woman. Unlike my grandmother who did not have to go out to work and still return home just in time to begin what I consider another full time career, home management, you have to juggle 2 full time careers. Sometimes I wonder if women foresaw this situation when the women liberation movement started many years ago.? Nevertheless that ship sailed (and docked) a long time ago.

Having to juggle your professional career and still play your role as a wife and/or mother is one of the reasons why you are susceptible to depression and anxiety. You can try to balance this by using your weekends to relax - tell hubby to take the children away or get a house help for the weekends. You should also strive to leave your work at work - let your boss know that you don't take work home. If you are your boss, then stop bringing those leftover "files" to your home...it will only depress you on the long run.

Another culprit that causes your condition is that you never have a minute to yourself. Closely linked to the above but different in that this refers to you not having an "alone time". When last did you visit with you BFF Stacy or your favorite cousin Ashley? Okay how about, when last did you go on a trip by yourself, or just take a walk by yourself? Or just do something for you?

Having a source of understanding or outlet in conjunction with your depression anxiety medication, you can find the strength to get better and lead a mentally healthier life.Most of us do experience occasional outbreaks of anxiety or momentary depression, at least once or twice in our lifetime. Anxiousness, changing or swinging moods, shifting metal attitude and a short term depression are all so common to millions of people all over the world. Low intensity anxiety and depression also work as positive parameters, when we can prepare for a pending task or take precious time to reflect on our actions, and regroup our effort in order to get success in life.

Thus, anxiety and depression are a common part of our lives, often more helpful than overtly harmful. But, when anxiety and depression seem to crop up out of nowhere, persist for many months without providing much relief, or if it interferes with daily life, then you're probably suffering from a grave illness or a permanent symptom that needs to be dealt with.

Another leading cause of depression and anxiety is weight gain brought about by a variety of reasons; childbearing, age, pressure from the opposite sex, job demands, et cetera, et cetera. At time no matter how the man in your life reassures you, your mirror often times comes out the winner - you listen to it more. To combat this cause of depression and anxiety, try to eat right. A healthy diet - natural foods, oatmeal cookies, veggies, no caffeine, skip the chocolate, throw out the sodas. How do you feel now?

There are several other methods you can use to combat stress, including: meditation, deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, mental imagery relaxation, relaxation to music, biofeedback, counseling - to help you recognize and release stress.You can learn more about this topic, medications, supplements, alternative therapies and more at my website AND I will be writing more articles - so check back here!

paced world where you get left behind if you pause. Well, madam, that is all crock! If you continue to branch trough that drive through on your way to work and continue to skip lunch because you "feel" that is what your body needs, you will no doubt be a candidate for depression and anxiety much sooner than you think. And the "super mom" thingy is overrated okay - all you achieve is a mom who runs on raw nerves and caffeine.incidentally both leads to this nasty condition which we've been discussing all day. To solve this one, use the same techniques shown above. In addition to that get the nutrition your body requires and supplement your diet with a lot of vitamins which promotes healthy joints and bones.
