The Depression Free Method Reviewed:

Warning:
You will overcome depression by using The Depression Free Method. But it’s not a magic pill because there is no such thing. You’ll beat depression only if you put to work what you learn in this program and stick with it. Official Page: http://budurl.com/DepressionFreeMethod

The Depression Free Method is a self-help course for the the treatment of depression. Unlike other programs and prescription drugs, Depression Free treats the root cause of depression instead of just the symptoms of depression.

So how does it work? The Depression Free Program gets to the core of the issue that is causing your depression unlike most run-of-the-mill self-help depression courses that teach you just how to think more positively. That garbage doesn’t work because it never gets to the reason why you’re feeling depressed in the first place. The Depression-Free Course will give you the tools you need to stop your self-denial and procrastination that is keeping you down and stopping your from breaking the depression cycle:

So whats in the course itself? The Depression-Free course includes:

The Depression Free Method ebook
Depression Free Method audio program

Just how well does it work? The Depression Free Method program is the best self-help depression program I have found to this date. The creator of the Depression Free system, Dan Micheals, is a former depression sufferer who spent ten years of his life researching the techniques that he used to overcome his own depression . All of the research culminated in this program.

The Depression Free Method uses a drug-free and psychiatrist-free approach derived from advanced psychology and actual case studies. Depression Free helps people overcome the habit of negative thinking that fuels depression. But the program goes way beyond just overcoming negative thinking. You will learn how to reprogram yourself and install new beliefs that will give you the mental freedom to get back to the lifestyle you used to enjoy before depression.

This is what it will do for you:

Free you from negative thinking and unsettling thoughts
Teach you how to find the on/off switch to your brain so you can sleep better
Allow you to get back to doing the things you used to do without apprehension or fear
Motivate you to reconnect with loved ones that you feel withdrawn from now
Release bad thoughts and embrace a new more positive outlook
Give you the feeling of freedom that you thought you lost forever

This program will change your life and give you the confidence and power to never fall into the depression trap again. You will become an inspiration to others around you.

“Look, it sounds good but I’ve tried other courses and they didn’t help me. How is the Depression Free Method different?”

The Depression Free Method program provides a full 60 day unconditional guarantee offering you a full refund of your purchase so you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

In the rare case you do opt for a refund you are even allowed to keep the entire program – bonuses and all! Not a bad deal.

Internet Addiction Linked to Childhood Depression

Bill — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:22:43 +0000

According to research printed in the Journal Pediatrics, children who have an unhealthy addiction to the internet are almost twice as likely to suffer from depression. That is an alarming number, and parents should be concerned. The study tracked 1,041 teens in China, where internet addiction is a serious problem. The teens were asked a series of questions in order to assess their risk of depression. Out of the teens studied, 94% were considered unhealthy internet users, and the other 6% were found to be moderately unhealthy internet users.

The researchers evaluated the teens’ risk of depression again 9 months later, and found that the teens with unhealthy internet addiction were one and a half times more likely to show symptoms of depression. While this may seem alarming, teen depression is not new. It’s estimated that over 2 million teens and pre-teens develop depression every year. However, the problem has become so prevalent that a government panel has advised doctors to screen children aged from 12-18 for depression routinely.

Parents should take note and watch for signs of depression, which can include:

Difficulty concentrating and making decisionsLoss of interest in activities that were once enjoyableLoss of energyFeelings of hopelessness or lack of self-worthInsomnia or excessive sleepingOvereating or loss of appetiteThoughts or attempts of suicide

If you or someone you know is suffering from these symptoms, seek professional help immediately.

Women Combating Depression With Coffee

Bill — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:22:43 +0000

A cup of coffee in the morning is routine for many- just the smell of it can help wake you up. It’s what gets us through the day; most would have a difficult work day without coffee.

A new study conducted by Harvard University gives many women another reason to drink coffee. The study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that women who consumed 2-3 cups of coffee a day had a 15% lower risk of depression, and those who drank more had a 20% lower risk.

Over the past 10 year’s doctors, monitored the women’s caffeine intake and noted which participants developed signs of depression during this timeframe. The study consisted of over 50,000 women and was one of the largest women’s studies in America. The average age of the patients was 60 and none were previously diagnosed with depression.

While this may seem like amazing news, the authors caution that more work must be done and they are in the early stages of research. The data must be replicated before any conclusive information can be drawn. At best, this study gives coffee drinkers a piece of mind.

Stress Less About Money This Year

Bill — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:11:25 +0000

According to a survey from the National Mental Health Association, finances were listed as the #1 stressor, afflicting nearly half of Americans (48 percent). With health issues ranked the #2 stressor, it is highly likely that there is a strong correlation between the two, and alleviating one may subsequently improve the stress and anxiety caused by the other.

It may be nearly impossible to eliminate all financial worries, but taking small steps to overcome the most common reasons money causes stress can help mitigate our fears (and consequent tension).

1. Put Your Health First

While maintaining your health can be a moderately costly endeavor, typically restoring it can be twice as expensive. By adhering to a healthy lifestyle all year long (eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly), you can help sustain well-being and trim unplanned expenses from health complications, such as type 2 diabetes, which is strongly linked to obesity and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Further, investing in remedies which can help mitigate ailment symptoms and improve body function for long-term holistic health can help improve overall quality of life.

2. Budget, Budget, Budget

Financial experts unanimously agree on setting a budget, which helps put spending in perspective and cuts frivolous spending. Put aside cash for entertainment expenses, as some studies show that people who pay in cash instead of with credit cards can spend up to 15 percent less, as it triggers more of an emotional connection and

Aspergers and Depression

Bill — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:24:33 +0000

I’m not sure what set me off in this direction in my thinking but here I am, wondering if I have Aspergers.

First, an update on life as I know it. Things have been going poorly. The economy hit me hard and one of my two sources of income crumbled away. My other source, writing, is actually doing very well. I signed a book deal – my first – in October and other gigs continue to come in even without my seeking them out. I’m making less than I was, which wasn’t much, but I’m happier in this work. So, I should be happy overall but we are talking about depression, right?

My social world continues to shrink and, although I don’t like social situations in the least, I can tell that the almost complete lack of them since I started working at home is taking a heavy toll on my overall emotional well being. I’ve considered spending two or three mornings a week working in a coffee house. I wouldn’t have to deal with anyone but just being out and among others might help.

My drinking has increased. I’m not ready to say it’s a problem yet but it’s worth mentioning.

Depression has wrapped itself completely around me. I’ve succumbed to it in recent months and have found an odd comfort in the resignation. I haven’t taken St. John’s Wort since the summer.

On to Aspergers. Like I said, I’m not sure what sent my mind down this path but I’ve been thinking about my severe social dislike and awkwardness and wondering if this might have something to do with mild autism, which is an oversimplified way to describe Aspergers. Check out the Wikipedia entry on Aspergers if you’re unfamiliar with this condition and really want to know.

I have most of the symptoms. Some points of my life that seem to really mesh well:

The speech thing – My mom tells me that I was a very late talker. She doesn’t remember my first word because I just started talking in complete sentences one day. (I’ve always thought that was odd. Wouldn’t one remember their baby’s first word or utterance regardless?) Also, in elementary school I used to go to speech therapy. I don’t remember the specific problem – I actually forgot about it until college when suddenly one day the memory came flooding back when I met the son of the woman who was my speech teacher. Weird, right?

Social situations – I’ve beat that one to death; that’s a definite check in the yes column.

Misunderstanding other’s nonverbal communication – check.

And so on.

A few points where I don’t seem to fit the condition: I think I’m a pretty good abstract thinker. My professional writing is nonfiction but I have written fiction in the past and greatly enjoyed it. I also like reading fiction and think that I’m pretty good at picking up on the subtext. However, having a degree in English literature could have given me the training to approach this formulaically.

Lack of empathy – this is the biggest reason that would make me question my having Aspergers. I think that I am hyper-aware of other people around me and their reactions to what I say. I often will stop mid-sentence because the slightest change in my listeners expression. People do think that I have an odd speech pattern and I do tend to go on obsessively about a few topics, both aspects of Aspergers.

So, I took the Autism Spectrum Quotient test this morning and scored a 30 which is rated as above average. I always feel like I’m screwing up these self administered tests, though. I’d just spent an hour or so reading about Aspergers so I recognized the symptoms behind the questions. I realized that I was overcompensating and trying to not be to eager with a “yes, yes, that’s me exactly” sort of response. So did I drive my real score down? Who knows.

What will I do with this new information? I have no idea. Probably nothing. However, it does make me feel even more justified in refusing the social anxiety medication that was prescribed to me years ago. It might have treated a symptom but not the problem if I do indeed have Aspergers.Labels:asperger,depressionpostedSaturday, November 21, 2009
