5 Misconceptions That Can Prevent Cure of Anxiety and Depression

 by Laxmi Keshav

Are you concerned about proper treatment of your anxiety/depression/stress disorder? Then, first up know about the myths. Get your facts right away and get relief fast.

1. It is widely believed that chemical disturbances caused by an antidepressant reduces its effectiveness. Statistical studies suggest that * antidepressant drugs are totally useless for almost 70% of people * cognitive therapy and other such remedies are far more effective.

2. Another big misconception is that anxiety and depression is caused by mind games. On the contrary several other diseases and conditions like

a. hyper-tension b. muscle cramps c. sleeplessness d. Deviation in appetite e. exhaustion f. back ache g. loss of sex drive

contribute to anxiety and depression making it very difficult for people affected by anxiety and depression to carry out routine work.

3. Diet is considered a cause for stress conditions. Poor diet can result in obesity ultimately leading to possible risk of heart attack and strokes. But it is not at all connected with anxiety or depression. Nevertheless, you must ensure that healthy diet is a part of your remedy to cure anxiety and depression.

4. Another big myth is the claim that exercise is one of the most suitable remedies for all stress related ailments particularly anxiety and depression. It has been proved that exercise has its own benefits. But it is no good for getting rid of depression. On the contrary certain types of exercises like treadmills can have negative impact.

5. Social activists have been protesting that rapid industrialization all around the world is also responsible for increase in incidence of anxiety and depression cases. These people claim that industries all over are releasing harmful gases and toxins into the atmosphere in large quantity. It is a only a myth because going by this logic, we should have far more patients suffering from anxiety and stress in all major cities across the world. And by same logic population in rural areas every where should be free of depression. But neither is the case.

Knowledge about these and other misconceptions will help you attack the root cause of anxiety and depression. Select the correct remedy and overcome anxiety and depression forever.
