Tips for independent exitfrom depression
It should be remembered that depressive conditions are often aggravated by the constant intake of potent soothing agents. Medications are constantly accumulating in the body, deposited in tissues.
When the disease progresses, the patient drinks them in ever increasing amounts and seeks more and more powerful drugs. Part of them, deposited in the tissues of the body, is constantly secreted and absorbed into the blood, where the newly taken medications are circulating. The dose of sedatives increases dramatically, the state of depression is not removed, but only intensifies. This vicious circle, in which the patient falls, can be overcome only by cleansing the body, gradually reducing the dose of medicines and at the same time increasing the proportion of medicines from herbs. At the same time, water procedures are very necessary.
Cleansing can be carried out by any of the techniques presented in many books on herbal medicine. You can stop on the technique of N. Semenova, you can apply fasting( no more than 12 days) under the supervision of a doctor( at your discretion - note author of the site ).

By eating meat, we take these hormones in ready-made form, as medicines, and they aggravate the state of depression.
