<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Now  a days many people are experiencing a common health problem of  depression and many other diseases caused by depression in their daily  lives. </span><span>Most people do not know the cause of problems they face until they receive a diagnosis and find the symptoms of depression. </span><span>Probably about 3 in 10 people will be problems with depression at some point in their lives. </span><span>What  are the causes of depression is still a problem for many doctors who  still is, all they can propose all the symptoms and treatment of  depression before to consider it not serious problems in your daily  life. </span><span>Depression is a source of severe stress and anxiety and makes life horrible. </span><span>It makes people lose their mental capacity and makes them believe in a complete negative. </span><span>Negative thoughts began gnawing the brain and cause severe depression and slowly lead to personality disorders. </span><span>Most  people have never worried about these negative thoughts, because they  were unaware of the symptoms of depression that contribute to the severe  mental illnesses (schizophrenia).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Causes of Depression</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Mental disorders caused by certain types of physical or emotional abuse can cause depression in life. </span><span>Depression  from many causes, such conflicts may result in the family, friends,  etc., or in the event of death or sudden loss of a loved one can cause  pain that later in depression. </span><span>One important thing  about depression is that it is genetically from one generation to  another and has the greatest risk of contracting the disease. </span><span>One type of serious illness and sometimes depression. </span><span>Excessive pressure on the mind, so they can pressure from the parents or performance pressure causes a depression for some time.</span></p>

<span id="more-249"></span><br />
</span><span>Depression Symptoms</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>The child, adolescent and adult symptoms of depression are almost the same except different behaviors in these age groups. </span><span>Children  are not able to express what they feel, the most common signs of  depressed children will be sad, frightening appearance, shyness,  irritability. </span><span>Sometimes physical symptoms  that can not be explained as well as headaches, abdominal pain are seen  to be bed-wetting, sleep and have nightmares. </span><span>Symptoms  of depression in adolescents and adults should be taken very seriously  because they have serious consequences in their lives, create to drug  abuse, suicide attempts, etc. Unfortunately, these young people have  severe panic disorder, disorders leads to power and have the tendency to  violence and suicide </span><span>and try to isolate from others.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Clinical  depression (MDD) symptoms as can those people that lose their energy at  work and feel low self-esteem and lose interest in things they do are  explained gradually isolated from all the joys and pleasures they once  were. </span><span>All other types of depression are also included in this clinical depression.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Chronic depression (dysthymia) depression is less severe forms of depression. </span><span>People act with dysthymia, are not so unusual, but it still unhappy compared to others.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Postpartum depression is observed that in most women after the birth of her baby and a little less for men. </span><span>These symptoms of depression in a few months after the baby was born a few months or up to a year seen. </span><span>Symptoms include sadness, changes in eating and sleeping schedules, anxiety and irritability of the new mother or father.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>The  depressive disorder can be mild or major disruptions, both have almost  the same symptoms, but the appeal of the disease varies. </span><span>Symptoms  of depression can be found most often see, as always isolated from the  outside world, sad, angry, angry changes in eating and sleeping  schedules, have nightmares, try to commit cruel and violent a sense of  hopelessness and helplessness, and the most important negative </span><span>thought &#8220;the king of all evil.&#8221;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.friendsinrecovery.org/">Breaking Free from Emotional Eating</a></h1>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:popup()"><img class="alignleft" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PWld10X%2BL._SL160_.jpg" border="0" alt="Breaking Free from Emotional Eating" width="101" height="160" /></a></p>
<p><span>There is an end to the anguish of emotional eating  &#8212; and this book explainshow to achieve it. Geneen Roth, whose Feeding  the Hungry Heart and When FoodIs Love have brought understanding and  acceptance to tens of thousands ofreaders over the last two decades,  here outlines her proven program forresolving the conflicts at the root  of overeating. Using simple techniquesdeveloped in her highly successful  seminars, she offers reassuring,practical advice.<span id="more-193"></span></span></p>
<p><span>This book changed my life in all the ways I was  longing for it to be changed.<br />
I read Geneen&#8217;s work in the middle of my eating disorder. I didn&#8217;t  begin using it right away because I didn&#8217;t trust it. I didn&#8217;t like it. I  didn&#8217;t think it would work. It does.</span></p>
<p>Different approaches work for different people. I think this worked  for me because, deep down Geneen&#8217;s philosophy is in accordance with my  own. I wanted to be my own authority. I wanted it bad enough to give  this a try. I didn&#8217;t tell myself I had to do this forever. I didn&#8217;t have  blind faith. I also didn&#8217;t give up on it in the first three months. I  gave myself a year to decide. A year, where I promised myself I wouldn&#8217;t  diet. A year in which to work through every exercise I reasonably  could. In addition to committing to this book, I continued seeing a  therapist on a weekly basis. That helped, but this book is what  ultimately gave me coping tools. I know that I was in the extreme, not  everybody needs as much help as I did. I also know that distorted eating  is very normal in this culture. I feel blessed to have been able to  examine something so fundamental, and transform what was a problem to a  benefit. I&#8217;ve read all of Ms. Roth&#8217;s books and enjoyed each of them.  This one has a great combination of explaining and exercises to do,  which is why I chose it. However, the chapters are widely divergent in  terms of work. Her other book &#8220;Why Weight&#8221; appears to be the same exact  work better organized, but less expository. If you are unsure if this  work is for you, buy or borrow &#8220;Breaking Free&#8221;. If after reading through  it you feel excited but overwhelmed by the work load, you may wish to  try &#8220;Why Weight&#8221; as a work book.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/><br/>Depression can be like a tremendous weight, keeping you down so you don&#8217;t want to function. Sometimes, it&#8217;s a constant battle with oneself to get up, get ready and get dressed every day. Life has a way of piling stuff on us, and it is our job to un-freeze our bodies and keep going during even the most difficult of times. Don&#8217;t give up on yourself for having depression, it is possible to increase your energy and drive. It just takes finding out what solutions work best for you specifically.<br/><br/>Having battled very severe depression for most of my life, I know first-hand about the strong urges to sleep, to do nothing and just vegg out in front of TV. Been there, done that. We all need &#8220;mental health breaks&#8221; from time to time, to re-charge ourselves. This is about the kind of apathy that affects everyday functioning, and the ability to do everyday tasks in life. The severely depressed often feel unable to do anything, and let themselves go mentally and physically. It takes energy to take care of oneself, and even small tasks can be a burden when you&#8217;re depressed. When you don&#8217;t participate in life, it feels harder and harder to function, and the more you put off connecting to others. Strong apathy is a wake-up message to work harder and perservere. The way I look back at my own life, it was either give up or get going. I chose to get going. It takes hard work, but is most definitely worth the effort. If I can do it, so can you.<br/><br/>Every day, push yourself to do one more task than you normally do. It&#8217;s your choice, but choose projects that aren&#8217;t too hard to accomplish. In time, build up to harder tasks as your confidence grows. Think of what you want to do and work on achieving your goals, one step at a time. Write it all down, if you like. I kept a diary, documenting everything that I did to keep track of my progress. It worked, and kept me motivated. One by one, tasks are accomplished and it feels good. The more you do it, the more those good feelings and confidence grow, like a snowball rolling down a hill, gathering momentum as it goes.<br/><br/>Don&#8217;t overanalyze or judge situations that upset you. Minimize the drama in your life. A family member of mine is very high-strung and finds things to worry about that aren&#8217;t there. She works herself into a frenzy by overjudging everyone, and being around her can really be exhausting. It is best to limit your exposure to people who consistently bring you down or stress you out. Take situations and problems at face value. Don&#8217;t read into them, just accept the reality of each issue as you experience it (don&#8217;t pretend it doesn&#8217;t exist or waste energy thinking how things &#8220;should&#8221; be.) It takes practise to accept some problems as they are. Thinking too much about everything drains personal energy and makes you tired. When depression is strong, that is when energy is needed the most. Preserve it by training your mind to minimize drama and criticism in your life.<br/><br/>Simplifying matters helps for coping with problems. Instead of looking at a problem as a big, unsurmountable task; break it into smaller and more manageable ones. Write important appointments down and don&#8217;t just commit them to memory. Be as efficient with your energy as you can, since it can be a precious commodity when you have depression. When I get a burst of energy, I do housework. One task at a time. When really motivated, I clean the whole apartment, in an organized and methodical manner. It feels good to get something accomplished. Build on that energy, bit by bit. Exercise, whether it&#8217;s housework or jogging, produces endorphins, or &#8220;feel good&#8221; chemicals in your body. By moving, you are helping yourself, more than you realize.<br/><br/>Work on fighting negative inner thoughts that plague you. Fight it by thinking of a positive statement, for every negative one you think to yourself. It is what therapists teach, to counteract the negative self-talk. It does work, but takes time. Affirmations; short positive statements, are helpful in working on destroying those inner gloomy thoughts. Practise positivity and in time, those negative thoughts may lessen.<br/><br/>Do whatever it takes to fight the &#8220;frozen&#8221; feelings of depression. We all have good and bad days. Go with the flow, and ride the fluctuation like a wave. Just realize the feelings of apathy are there then let them go. It takes persistence. Being very stubborn, I have spent my life practising these techniques, and am very high-functioning for someone with such strong depression inside. My mood is calm now, and there is a large amount of peace in life now. It took learning how to deal with tough times, and not to freak out when they occur. It&#8217;s all about being good to yourself. Inner peace feels great. Life is good, and getting better all the time. You can do it. Just believe in yourself and never stop working to improve your life. Make happiness happen.<br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Carolyn McFann						</a></strong></em><br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/><br/>O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.<br/><br/>Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.<br/><br/>Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. (King David, Ps 88:1-18 KJV)<br/><br/>Depression can take the light out of person&#8217;s eye and rob a person of the pleasure involved in relationship but can it actually kill a person. King David, the great King of all Israel suffered from deep depression and his words certainly depict a man trapped in depression. Depression is real and it does kill. Is there a viable solution?<br/><br/>First, let me give you just a few facts on depression. It is a fact Clinical depression affects 15% of the population, and a third of all women. One of the reasons twice as many women as men suffer depression and anxiety, according to researchers at University College, London, is that women&#8217;s traditional roles (taking care of the household, family finances and children) are under-valued. Men are also under pressure in an effort to balance family life with an increasingly competitive workplace, and are particularly vulnerable to depressive episodes after redundancy and retirement. The burden on the, often isolated, nuclear family is enormous, with little time left for the kids or relationships with friends and even extended family.<br/><br/>It is no secret, depression is the second biggest killer behind heart disease (itself a contributory factor in depression), and is increasing a staggering 23% per year in children, according to one Harvard University study.<br/><br/>The real catastrophe is the lack of effective available treatments, with many people led to believe that pills, or herbs or diet will do the trick. The truth is that antidepressants work for less than 50% of depressed people, and are about as effective as sugar pills. The FDA only recommends taking them for short periods. (This does not mean you should stop taking them abruptly, certainly not without medical supervision.) Even natural remedies, such as St. John&#8217;s Wort, while they may not have nasty side effects, don&#8217;t offer a long-term cure.<br/><br/>Psychiatrics suggest therapy along with medication, but the primary form of psychotherapy for depression, cognitive behavioral therapy, has a relapse rate of up to 80%, according to University of Washington researchers.<br/><br/>What is the solution to depression?<br/><br/>Is there a solution? Does an individual have to suffer this deadly disorder for the rest of their life? I firmly do not believe the &#8220;complete&#8221; answer to depression exists neither in a bottle of pills nor in cognitive therapy. I believe these treatments help and I am not saying stop taking pills with out your doctor&#8217;s advice. God forbid that I usurp the authority of a medical doctor. In addition, I believe rational thinking helps if a person has the capacity to practice the principles of the therapy. Yet, these approaches are only slightly affective. How can we rid ourselves of these horrible feelings of worthlessness created by depressive episodes? How can we get out of the proverbial, &#8220;Dark Hole&#8221;?<br/><br/>I wish there was an easy answer to the above questions. It would be nice if taking a doze of Prozac, Zoloft, or other anti-depressants would work all the time every time but the sad truth is they don&#8217;t. There is no easy answer, nor simply solution to depression. Many of the bible characters suffered from deep and lasting depression. David, Solomon, Jonah, and many others prayed to God to deliver them out of the darkness of depression and God did but God did it in His time not theirs. <br />Romans 15: 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.<br/><br/>I have suffered from deep, major depression and today I am free from depression. I do have my bad days but nothing like those &#8220;dark days&#8221; of deep feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and pain. I believe medicine can help but it is a temporary fix and I believe truth therapy (not rational therapy) is essential but I think the biggest factor that helped me was faith.<br/><br/>During the days of deep depression, suicide attempts, and self-mutilation, I developed a faith in God. In fact, I came to trust in Him during the hardest days of my life. Looking back, I realize it was during the dark days, when I could not care for myself, He was actually carrying me through it all. Remember the poem, &#8220;foot prints in the sand.&#8221; He was there all the time. If I had never had the problem with depression I would have never learned how I needed a relationship with my Creator. After many years of depression, I finally came out of the dark. However, it was in the pain that I discover my real need for a power, God, who could raise me out of the deep deadly pit of depression. I don&#8217;t care to return to the dark hole so I do my best to turn my life over to His power and control on a daily basis. This has worked for a few years now and as long as this plan works and I will work the plan.<br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Dr Bob Wilkerson						</a></strong></em><br/><br/></p>
