The exact and only cause of depression is not known. For instance, a bipolar disorder can be caused by a lot of factors ranging from family links, anxiety, experiences, environment and mental dysfunction.
Research has suggested that biological and other social source of distresses like disappointment, break up relationships, financial instability, loss of loved ones and persistent obsession can lead to depression.
Research has also suggested that persistent depression can decrease appetite, cause sleep disorder, cause a lot of health related issues and can even make one commit suicide.
It is very necessary to see a therapist when you experience you are not in the right mood. If not, try these:
Speak positive things into your life when you wake up from bed — Say them loud to your own hearing. Of course, you may feel insane for speaking to yourself but that is going to work the magic. Tell yourself; ‘I am a winner’, ‘I have power over every trouble’. Say to yourself any positive thing you want others to say to you in order to feel good. Do not expect compliments from others because you may end up being disappointed. Start your day happy. Feel good by your own words before you step out.
Avoid Anything That Gives Negative Energy — Everyone has a positive history. Everyone has a certain energy or an ability that makes them feel special; a memory that makes them a hero in the eyes of others. Be positive minded. Fix your thoughts on the joy but not the pain. You have to believe that you have power over your thoughts. Get rid of any energy from within or outside that pushes you to ruination of mood. Do not let anything add up to your already trying times. Be positive.
Get a good circle — No man is an island and one needs the right people to overcome certain challenges. Spend time with friends who make you feel good about who you are. Surround yourself with only people with positive vibes. Cut off anyone who gives you negative vibes, even if the person is your best pal. If possible, make them understand what you are going through and they can play your days through to recovery.
Make lifestyle changes that can improve your self-esteem — Eat the qualities your have (healthy diet) and get regular exercise at the gym. Try to train at a gym center with a lot of people. It gives some kind of motivation and inner joy, especially when you train with music.
Pray more — Prayer in its form is a therapy that has been proven to be effective, remedying a lot of situations. Listen to a gospel music, especially, praise and worship. Focus on the promises and the words of your belief and what your faith says about you. No man can win without having faith in something. Whatever your belief, focus in prayer and believe in getting out of mental instability.
If you find yourself not recovered after some time, consult a therapist.
