Social support is another aspect to address. Our relationships are meant to help us grow and become better people. Kindness, understanding and compassion are things people with depression often lack in their life. Surrounding ourselves with people who care and love us helps us feel appreciated and important. The Network s wellness support group may help you surround yourself with people such as this.
Environmental awareness is also an important aspect.
Unfortunately, our planet has noticeable pollution in the water, food and air today, which is why organic food and filtered water is helpful. Getting out into nature can also help us feel better due to the negative ions in the air. And using products that are natural help us as well as the earth. Treating depression wholistically is a process not an event. It includes discovering what the unique factors are for each person s depression and creating a wellness plan that addresses these factors.
