Sunlight plays a key role in mental and physical health. Many doctors recommend getting 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight daily when possible, preferably in the morning, which helps to synchronize our biorhythms for a healthy overall physiology and mental outlook.

1. Types of depression

2. Everyone feels sad occasionally. However, not all
forms of sadness leading to depression are the
same. Understanding the various causes and
types of depression make it easier to manage,
although sometimes professional assistance is
needed.

3. ● Sometimes fleeting feelings of depression are caused by transient
or minor losses, like the loss of a pet or disturbing news
headlines. While these experiences can lead to serious
depression, often they cause minor feelings of sorrow that soon
go away. Realizing that the sorrow is normal in the circumstances
may help to make it more bearable.
Minor Depression

4. General Depression
Occasionally a person may fel sad for an unknown reason. This
could be due to overall low morale at work or temporary financial
difficulties. The loss of a national leader or beloved celebrity can
lead to this type of sadness, which, while not personal, still
impacts people in vague ways.

develops in some people due to reduced sunlight in their part of the
country, which may be due to regional conditions of the country or
a temporary weather pattern, like winter.

Weather-Related Depression

6. ● Experiencing chronic illness or hormone disruptions may cause depression in certain people.
Medications prescribed by a doctor can restore a more normal sense of well-being while
controlling the symptoms of depression. Typically, this type of depression is treatable and
temporary and may clear up spontaneously over time.
Depression due to physical symptoms

7. Following are some methods of treating depression:
● Depression Programs
● One of the most popular is receiving outpatient treatment by meeting with a therapist on a regular
basis to discuss the underlying causes of depression. Medication is sometimes used to manage
depression symptoms, many people do best with a combination of therapy and medication.
● Other methods include personal efforts like exercise, journaling, enjoying nature or getting a pet.
Group therapy is also helpful for sharing attitudes and experiences that lead to depression in many
people.
● Depression Retreats
● A program may include time spent outside in nature, such as sitting in a garden setting or watching
a beautiful sunset. If weather or climate restrictions exist, listening to audio recordings of music,
wind or waves on a beach can be tremendously soothing.
● Another common element is exercise. This may be encouraged individually or in groups,
consisting of stretching exercises or a two-mile hike. Physical activity helps to reduce levels of
cortisol released by the body during times of stress.
