Depression is a disabling illness and a terrifying for the individual and his family. I recently read a book, The Closet Depressionist by Robert Sisti that clearly conveys the demons that depression may occur. Although I would not recommend this book for casual reading or for young people, if you look at the depression, this will give. This is a treat for his poem, The Gift of insomnia: A man beaten, time feels yet. Days are longer, are drag my fill. You can not eat, can not sleep, grow wrinkles under my eyes. Daily emotional breakdowns are my death. Fallen more in this way, a life is gone. "This represents the overwhelming sense of despair that depression can cause.
When I had problems with anxiety than heard, "Pull out of it, take a walk, you'll feel better. "I'm sure the same is true for the depressed person. Unfortunately, depressed people, like those suffering from the anxiety, can not by themselves too. According to the Health Services of the University Tang Center, Cinical depression is a serious illness that lasts for weeks, months or even years. "
The three most common forms of depression include major depression, dysthymia (a lesser form of depression), and bipolar disorder (also known as manic-depression). According to the research that has not been determined whether depression has a biological component or depression biological changes. But, either way they are treated with antidepressants to rebalance the chemical imbalance. Antidepressants, along with some form of therapy is the standard application of Western medicine.
In oriental medicine, especially Chinese medicine, Dr. Henry Zhen-Hong Lee explains that the depression comes from low energy in the kidneys and heart. There is also little energy and an imbalance in neurotransmitters. The attacks of Chinese medicine causes disease with acupuncture focused on problematic bodies and herbs individually designed. This increases the treatment and normalizes low-energy kidneys and heart and leveling the balance in the neuro-transmitters. The treatment should produce effective results within two or three months. Once the body is regulated, acupuncture and herbs are no longer needed.
He will clarify that, as with any medicine, different professionals have different views on the causes and treatment methods. Through years of study and practice of Dr. Lee made his own understanding of this disease. When asked what their patients with depression can do at home to help themselves, advises the most important thing to do is to avoid junk food and processed foods. Along with this, we recommend: eating healthy foods (natural and organic), breathing exercises, and mediate. Dr. Lee is an acupuncturist in New York State and a DPL NCCA. Herbalist. It also has a degree in oriental medicine from traditional Chinese Medical College, and Western Medicine, Faculty of Medicine of Beijing.
