Depression is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In India, it is estimated that 50-70% of people with depression do not seek treatment. This is due to a number of factors, including stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to mental health services.
There are a number of ways that people can manage depression, including:
- Seeking professional help: This is the most effective way to treat depression. A mental health professional can provide a diagnosis, develop a treatment plan, and offer therapy and/or medication.
- Natural remedies: One can make use of natural remedies to manage depression, such as yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda.
- Lifestyle changes: Making healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep, can also help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.
- Social support: Having strong social support can be helpful in managing depression. This can include talking to friends and family, joining a support group, or volunteering.
It is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing depression. What works for one person may not work for another. It is important to find what works best for you and to seek professional help if needed.
