Fatty Fish for Depression

When we speak of omega-3 fatty acids, no food source will beat fatty fish such as mackerel, bluefish, wild salmon, and tuna. The fatty acids found in such fish not only have particular brain-boosting properties to combat depression, but also are good for overall health, too. They are said to improve circulation and lessen inflammation and your overall risk of heart disease.

Things NOT To Say To A Depressed Person

A lot of us trivialize depression (for the most part, unintentionally) by dropping a platitude on a depressed friend or family as if that is the one thing they badly need to hear. A few things that are unhelpful to say to someone who is experiencing depression include:

• “Pull yourself together, dude.”
• “Always think positive!”
• “You should do something for others.”
• “There are people who are going through real problems right now. Think of that.”
• “Maybe you just don’t want to get better?”
