How to treat depression?

First: if the medication of patients with depression is invalid, we should actively pay attention to the hospital for examination, because many invisible causes of depression have not been found out, but simple medication may not achieve the effect of treatment of depression. Patients can go to the hospital for a check to see if there are functional diseases. For example, the decrease of serotonin content in cerebrospinal fluid can lead to long-term depression, and simple medication has no effect.

Second: for patients who take medicine for a long time, especially those who take western medicine to treat depression, we can try to use the alternative therapy of depression. The so-called alternative therapy is to use some traditional therapies that do not treat depression. For example, it can be treated from the aspects of diet, social activities, acupuncture, massage and herbal medicine.

Third: alternative therapy for depression also includes relaxation therapy, massage therapy and biofeedback therapy. These alternative therapies for depression have a very good therapeutic effect for mild depression, but the effect is not particularly obvious for severe depression. Mild depression can also be treated by exercise therapy.
