How to self-regulate mild depression?

Depression is a common mental illness. Depression should be treated in time to avoid excessive mental stress after severe depression, which will lead to adverse consequences. Depression seriously affects the normal life of oneself and relatives. Early treatment is the best way. So, how can mild depression be restored to health through self-regulation?

Methods/Steps

1. Psychological adjustment: learn to relax. Depression is mostly caused by the patient's long-term high mental tension, which causes some nerve disorders in the brain. Therefore, patients need to regulate their nerves and learn to relax. There are many ways to relax, such as reading some funny books, watching some funny videos, listening to some humorous crosstalk, etc. In short, patients need to find a way to relax themselves.

2. Cultivate self-confidence. Self-confidence is the magic weapon to overcome all negative emotions such as fear, tension, worry, and panic. Use positive language to suggest yourself every day. Believe that there is no problem. No matter what problems you encounter at work or in life, you must believe that you can handle them well. If you really can't handle them well, don't blame yourself too much, just let it go. Don't take it seriously, keep it in your heart, and damage your health.

3. Actively participate in the world and abandon the pessimistic and world-weary attitude towards life. Depressed patients are more or less pessimistic and world-weary. They always feel that their efforts are useless and are unwilling to communicate and share with others. They always hide in the dark and envy others but are unwilling to make efforts. The results are getting worse and worse, and finally they suffer from mental illness. They bring endless pain and torture to themselves. Therefore, to relieve depression, you must also actively expand your network, communicate with others more, and don't be afraid of being rejected. Being positive and optimistic, open-minded and tolerant will allow you to gain more and more connections and wealth.

4. Develop good living habits. Depressed patients generally do not sleep well, so it is recommended that patients take some measures to improve sleep quality before going to bed, such as foot bathing, bathing, drinking red wine or milk, etc. Avoid staying up late at night, daydreaming, and bringing unnecessary mental garbage to yourself. For mental health, you must develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

5. Seek help from your family. Love is the source of victory over everything. No matter when and where you are, your family is your strongest support and they will help you through the difficulties. When depression strikes and you are exhausted both physically and mentally, you might as well take the initiative to talk to your family, chat, say everything you think, vent your emotions, and achieve an emotional balance. This is very beneficial for the treatment of depression.

6. Behavioral intervention: The above points can be said to be the treatment of depression. The patient's self-regulation in mental psychology and personality is obviously not enough to completely cure depression in life. Behavioral intervention treatment is also indispensable. So how to treat it? Here we recommend transference therapy. This therapy is when the patient feels emotionally depressed, extremely uncomfortable, and confused, he can use a rubber band to pull hard and then bounce his fingers or skin, using this pain to transfer emotions.
