More Solutions Needed


Know And Heal Thyself:

Here are some of the alternative approaches being recognized by renowned medical authorities:

Regular exercise: Moderate, regular exercise helps stabilize moods. Working out releases endorphins that make patients feel good, help them sleep and offer many other benefits.

Yoga: This ancient practice seems to help ease the depressive stage and reduce the frequency of mood swings.

Massage therapy: Anxiety and stress aggravate bipolar symptoms. Massage helps to release hormones that aid the body in coping with stress and social difficulties.

Acupuncture: This venerable Chinese practice of inserting tiny needles into the skin has achieved some notable success in relieving depression. A study published in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences reports that acupuncture increases the nighttime release of melatonin, a natural substance that reduces insomnia and anxiety. Getting a proper amount of rest is an important part of managing moods.
