Dealing With Depression In Tampa

By:


To help you fight depression, you have probably tried lots of pills, but have you tried breathing?

Overcoming depression can be as simple as breathing. This is because oxygen is the most important of nutrients to the brain; and it cannot be stored there like it can in other parts of the body, so it must be put there by you. Over a long period of shallow breathing, the brain builds up toxins because there is not enough of the purifying agent, oxygen, to purify it.

We don't take in the oxygen our brain needs for any number of reasons:

* Tight Clothing
* Poor Posture
* Physical Injury
* Emotional and Physical Trauma

CLOTHING Stay away from tight-fitting bras and other clothes that keep the abdomen from expanding, which keeps the lungs from filling with oxygen.

PHYSICAL INJURY
Auto accidents, falls, beatings, scars from surgery or knife wounds affecting your abdomen or torso make healthy breathing almost impossible.

EMOTIONAL OR PHSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA
When we undergo emotional pain, you may not realize it, but your diaphragm is probably tightening along with your abdomen. Beating chronic depression or emotional trauma is very difficult when oxygen is restricted so a tightened diaphragm feeds an endless cycle of emotional stress.

POOR POSTURE
When you fold your arms, look down, and lean forward, you are probably thinking very deeply about something and you are certainly restricting the flow of air to the lungs because the muscles in the thorax are constricting as well.

Generally speaking, anything that causes excessive tension in your diaphragm and muscles of your rib cage prevents optimal full breathing and prevents treating depression. Unfortunately, most people accept shallow breathing as normal, because that is how they have been breathing their entire lives and/or they have no idea they are doing it.

In addition to depressed brain functioning, people should also know that when cells have to work harder on less oxygen, they depress the immune system, which causes chronic disease on top of chronic depression. Chronic depression can also be a result of physical disease and physical pain resulting in a viscous cycle of emotional depression that reduces oxygen into the cells and that helps physical disease to grow.

Any treatment for depression must include the healthy intake of oxygen to the brain so that brain cells can rejuvenate and healthy cells can replicate as they are designed to do. You have first-hand experience with seeing the cells of your skin heal after a paper cut or stove burn, and you will be amazed at how much better you will feel after the cells in your brain do the same.
