Methods to relieve depression

1. Affirm yourself in time. Before going to bed every night, fully affirm your achievements and progress of the day that is about to pass, and do not talk about negative things. It is best to write a diary, and record good experiences, progress, and achievements in the diary. If you keep a diary like this every day, you will find that life will become more and more interesting.

2. Make good friends. People who keep in touch with friends often have a much better mental state than those who are lonely and isolated. Especially when things are bad, friends are good doctors.

3. Leisure activities. Relieving depression requires the help of family members, who can start with some small details in daily life. For example, if the "laziness" symptom of depressed patients is not serious, they should be encouraged to go out of the house and get in close contact with nature in parks or suburbs, which is very helpful to improve the mood of depressed patients.

4. Listen to music. Listen to music more often and let beautiful music dissolve mental fatigue. Relaxing and comfortable music can not only bring people beauty and enjoyment, but also effectively relax people's spirit.

Notes

Depression ranks first among all kinds of mental disorders and is known as the "number one psychological killer". Therefore, in life, not only formal treatment is needed, but also self-relief is needed.
