6 Things Not To Do When You Have Depression
Here are 9 common things I do for patients before prescribing antidepressant medication.
1️⃣ Check thyroid hormones (if needed) 🩺
2️⃣ Optimize vitamins & omegas (B12, D, folate, etc.)
3️⃣ Elimination diet for 3 weeks
4️⃣ Add colorful fruits & veggies
5️⃣ Eliminate negative thoughts
6️⃣ Exercise: Walk 45 min, 4x/week (as effective as meds!) 7️⃣ Add a daily supplement (saffron, curcumin, zinc, or magnesium)
8️⃣ Take probiotics daily
9️⃣ Bright light therapy (20-30 min with 10,000 lux lamp) ☀️

I am so self disciplined with managing my mental health, eat well, excercise, walk, hygiene on point, I just really motivate myself and it's such a battle to try and keep my head above water. If I fail and eat crap, don't get out in nature, drink booze etc I literally fall into the abyss. One thing I cannot beat is isolating myself, I really bad socially and it kills me socialising it really does cus I just don't exactly feel like I'm great to be around so that's hard x
Thank you
I love you Mann!!!! Daniel Hope we got the same first name
Do you realize how many of us can't afford decent health care?
But have you ever been on medication if you haven’t your advice means nothing
thank god youre not my psychiatrist
This is why I'm ok with taking medication to help for a period of time. Because a truly depressed person doesn't have the wherewithal to do these things.
If ur capable of not doing those things do u actually even have depression?
Going back to bed is one thing that some of us have to do if we have other chronic illnesses in addition to depression…..people feel ashamed to do so in our society. However, our bodies are designed to heal themselves and sleep is where the most healing occurs…..let go of the fear and shame!
This doctor looks depressing and the bs he said about magic mushrooms
Currently microdosing and its opened my mind
You probably never had a nice enough bed. Get a tempur. Sheesh
Too bad, people cut me off

Stop racism and all depression will go away , babyboomers and gen x always be trying to re write there story , when we all know yall are racist , i bet he not that old but the spirit of racism ages white ppl soo badly , and when u make money based on practicing racism instead of doing whats right u bring all those spirits that felt sorrow into ur home
You state the problems, but you never state the solutions. Depressives like myself have little to no support and this video honestly annoys me and just excuses privilege.
I’m depressed … I DO NOT want to be around others. Why bother them with my blahs … I can sit by myself & stay miserable by myself? My bed is my only friend. No judgment just comfort
Ha, high dose Psilocybin saved my life 2 yrs ago after two decades on SSRIs
Thank you okay 👍
In Sweden there is never labwork, the gp prescrbes meds, and sometimes just 5 times with a psyciayrist.
We are the country with highest percentage of depression in Europe, and highest percentage taking pills.

I isolate myself because i cant give the people that love me the most what they want from me, im only living because im needed not because i want to
ive nobody to not isolate nyself with, nor anything to get out of bed for
I'm ready to die, I'm tired of crying,I'm just tired. Even praying to God hasn't helped.
This guy is a QUACK.
as someone who has struggled with depression since the age of 5 due to bullying and other things as I got older, You have no idea how peoples life experiences have affected them, I've woke up next to my mom to find her dead, my dad died 6 months prior of cancer, I was raped during a suicide attempt when I was unconcious. You can't tell me I have any fucking reason to be happy. How stupid.
That’s it first vid and I already subbed!😊😊
I need.some help thankyou
