Early awareness of depressed moods when we may feel hopeless, helpless, lonely and afraid of the future is learn how to help ourselves if we wish to avoid taking medicinal drugs prescribed under medical treatment.

The first thing to do is to learn to relax. Relaxation is recommended everywhere today as recognition comes of the increase in nervous tension and stress related disorders in the community.

A relaxed state of mind and body is considered to be the natural human condition when both physiological and mental health and peaceful circumstances exist. But most of us suffer from some degree of stress related disorders.

Symptoms of anxiety range from mild discomfort that reflects in muscular tension habits, to chronic stress and acute panic attacks. Anxiety plays a crucial role in contributing to many psychosomatic illnesses. Even mild discomfort can cause us problems whether physically or psychologically, and can make us feel unwell, unhappy or depressed.  Severe stress can over time cause serious chronic physical or mental disturbance.

We each will tend to react quickly to anything considered a potential danger or threat. Then symptoms can begin – whether a dry mouth, quicker heart beat, butterflies in the stomach, sudden perspiration or erratic breathing rhythm or headache.

There are many ways to become free of stress. They include yoga, practising muscular relaxation techniques, Tai chi, by vigorous exercise programmes, breathing exercises, nutritional supplements, or by taking medicinal herbs.

We learn to cast off old habits and re-establish natural health that allows our emotions and minds to feel vital and positive.   We learn to feel well again, and it feels good.
