Depression and Mood disorder
Depression and Mood Disorder are the language your body uses to tell you that it is NOT functioning at the Optimal level.
We all have had times when our body does not respond the way we wanted to, especially when we are under acute or chronic stress.
Acute stress can easily turn into chronic stress depending on our constitution, the nurturing of our body and how we learn to deal with stress.
When our body and mind are NOT in harmony, we tend to think that we just need to be more disciplined or need more supplements and medications to silence the symptoms our body is manifesting.
We all have been through situations that prove to be difficult to resolve. And, when we can take control of the situation and overcome the challenges, we become more resilient.
However, when we as individuals do not have the proper social or family support, have suffered from malnutrition and a disempowering environment growing up, did not have the correct guidance; then, the constant wear and tear on our body and mind is heightened and can really deplete our system. Thus, making us less resilient.
How do we become more resilient?
We become more resilient by overcoming our own limitations and deficiencies.
Those deficiencies could be Nutritional deficiencies, or the lack of proper guidance and support system.
One misconception is that taking time to rest is a sign of weakness.
Nothing can be farther from the truth!
Rebuilding sleep, managing physical pain and energy, emotional and nutritional balancing, taking time to relax and rejuvenate is a great part of the recovery!
The cause of your depression is NOT a deficiency. It is the result of over-taxing your body and not having the key nutrients to keep your body (hormones) working at its Optimal level.
