By Michael D. Nolting


It's always best to look for the most gentle yet effective way to treat any disorder or disease. The fewer side effects, the better and we've all probably heard of enough stories of the volatile side effects that tend to result from prescription medications, especially those of anti-depressant medications. There are many natural remedies for depression and a number of self-help techniques that you can turn to. Depression is a disorder of your thoughts and if you keep focussed on that fact, you can overcome depression by taking back control of your mind.In writing, it does sound like an easy task to just change your thoughts to more uplifting and empowering things and leave all those negative and joy-stealing thoughts behind, but our mind is a mysterious thing. Our thoughts came from a variety of experiences and influences that we don't even realize, as well as being a result of the chemical make-up of our body. Not an easy thing to control, especially if you've spent most of your life not realizing that you can control your thoughts. The easy part is getting lost in thoughts and letting your mind control your feelings.

It does not necessarily have to be a result of biochemical imbalances. For instance, you can cure depression by being honest with yourself. If you are faced with a situation that presents a decision that is not easy to make, accept it. Consider your condition carefully because it could be the reason you are depressed. You could be sexually restless, your marriage may not be working and you have to end it. You may also be feeling disconnected spiritually. The best way to treat your depression naturally is by getting to the root of your problem.

Vitamins As Natural Remedies For Depression.Listed below are a few of the vitamin supplements that professionals have pointed out as natural remedies for depression symptoms:Vitamin B1 - Thiamine is a necessary nutrient which helps the brain to operate properly by working to transform glucose into energy. But if the intake of Vitamin B1 is not high enough, you may end up drained, anxious, cranky or even depressed. Other possible signs of insufficient amounts of this vitamin can easily cause memory difficulties, insomnia and a decrease in appetite.Vitamin B3 - Niacin deficiency could bring on mental and physical slowness, anxiousness and agitation.Vitamin B5 - Pyridoxine facilitates your body in producing amino acids. These are a vital component of the building blocks of many hormones and proteins required by our systems to function. This nutrient when delivered to the body in the appropriate levels, performs a crucial role in the output of serotonin, dopamine and melatonin, all of which promote a contented and healthy mind. Its deficiency, unfortunately, leads to a weakened immune

system as well as mental confusion.Vitamin B12 is needed in the production of our red blood cells. And becoming deficient in this important vitamin may trigger mood swings, fear, hallucinations, bewilderment, irritability and other symptoms of depression as well as other mental health conditions.Vitamin C is an essential part of all diets however it's very important when the body or mind is under stress.As you can see, these vitamins listed above as natural options for curing depression are all vital for a happy and healthy mind and body. The trouble is that a lot of people lack the right amounts of a few if not all of these, which can result in a mental health crisis.

Here are some of the general symptoms of depression.
