What is the first thing that comes to mind when we you are feeling blue ? In many occasions the first option is antidepressants .Many doctors prescribe antidepressants is their patient is dealing with depression . Antidepressant is a pharmaceutical drug that is use very often to treat depression . In some cases antidepressants make someone become addicted. Before taking antidepressant you should keep in mind their effectiveness, risks and also if there are anymore solutions to depression . Antidepressants do not always cure your depression they affect your health in various ways .
Depression There are many types of depression . There is major depression,chronic depression (dysthymia), Atypical depression ,Postpartum depression ,Bipolar depression,seasonal depression and also Psychotic depression . Each of these depressions are different . You may find yourself felling lonely , sad , depressed . Depression is dangerous for your health . Major depression is when we experience lack of interest . For example you might not feel like going to school or work anymore . You might not want to do things that you would usually enjoy before . Chronic depression lasts two years or more and its a strong feeling of sadness . Atypical depression is when a person feel her or she is getting better but its only temporarily . Postpartum depression can occur in new mothers and its symptom's are more prolonged. Bipolar depression deals with mood disorders . Seasonal depression is brought out through the change of seasons Its peoples sensitivity to season changes .Psychotic depression is very serious . During this depression the person starts to hear voices or see people . So many types of depression and the only solution that people take in consideration are antidepressants.
Before taking any antidepressant we should be aware of their side effects . At www.helpguide.org it states “antidepressants aren’t a silver bullet for depression. Medication doesn’t cure the underlying problem and is rarely a long-term solution” A agree with this statement because some people think that antidepressant are the best solution when its really not. Antidepressants have side effects . One type of antidepressant is Prozac .Prozac has many side effects such as :high blood pressure,chest pain, weight loss ,Vision changes , constipation and much more . While you may think that Prozac is helping you cope with depression it is really making you worse !Our health is very essential and we need to find what is best for our body . Its better to get into a treatment to help cope treat depression than take antidepressants which make our health worsen .
Depression can be dealt with just a change in our life style . For instance we can exercise ,get a better nutrition , get a good rest , we can also find social support . Depression can be caused be a lost in the family . If this is the situation it is best if we find that social support someone when can talk to . You might want to let yourself out .Getting a good exercise helps keep you of the problem because your active and it will also make you feel better with yourself. A good nutrition also helps with a good health .you need to eat the right food at the right time in order to be healthy . Rest is very important ,you don't want to feel overwhelmed so you need to sleep .
As a result lets cure depression the right way . Think of the healthiest way to get to treat depression . Don't always try to find the easiest way because its not always the right way. Antidepressants don't cure your health ! .

What do all people want? Many people want long lasting relationships. However, to have a happy long lasting relationship one must understand certain concepts. There might be abundant obstacles to face as a couple, but happy and long lasting relationships are not impossible. Most couples are likely to endure emotional bumps, but their ability to maintain their feelings will ultimately become their most important challenge. For a happy long lasting relationship to survive the test of time, unconditional love should be kept alive in mind and most importantly at heart. The concept of love and sacrifice is also important but let’s not forget that cultivating our relationships also help . If we practice these three concepts we are more likely to have a happy and long lasting relationship.
In recent times, most relationships are built upon what they posses financially or by how they are viewed by society. This erroneous perception does not guarantee the success of a happy relationship and neither can it last forever. It is imperative that an emotional relationship should be based on the love that is born by accepting your significant other not for what they own, but by what that person signifies to you on an emotional and caring level. Unconditional means to love without condition. It means loving a person regardless of whatever defects they may have, how they look or how they act. In "Happier "by Tal Ben -Shahar It says "To be loved for our wealth, power, or fame is to be loved for our stead fastness, intensity, or warmth is to be conditionally”. Our significant over may not have all the money in the world but if he or she has the ability to make you smile, it will bring happiness into our lives. Unconditional love is the right way to love someone .Jon Gerneter writes “...... so for the average person, the obstacle between them and happiness is actually getting the future that they desire .” In other words for people who seek money from their partner will most likely not have along lasting relationship . These view their partner for who they are but ,how their partner can offer them the future they would want to have .
Have you ever sacrificed something for someone you love? For a happy relationship sometimes people have to make sacrifices. For example, I once had the opportunity to come across a recently married couple; which in my opinion serves as a perfect example of unconditional love. This particular couple just got married and were also pregnant with their first child. The husband was completing his education, as he hoped to one day become a teacher. As a requirement, he had to accept a one year paid internship in a school that happen to be located in a remote jungle. His wife was really concerned, but as the money was also needed they made the decision to accept. The wife had to leave behind her city , her family and her entire life, as she understood her husband’s need to fulfill his dream of becoming a teacher, and also because they needed money . The sacrifice that was made between this couple was very important. Now, the husband became a teacher and they have enough money to feed their kid. They lived a happy life. In "Happier “by Tal -Ben shahar it says “It is important to note that standing by one's partner in a time of need is not a sacrifice; when we love someone we often feel that helping that person is helping yourself” . I agree with this quote a sacrifice for love is an act one does to contribute something to the relationship.
I think that for a couple to have a long and happy relationship , it is best if they cultivate their relationship together .Although a man is expected to provide for his family I think it is better if they both cultivate for their future and their family. To cultivate means to plant the seed of responsibility, commitment and love into a relationship. For example a couple who works together to build a house for their family. In "Happier" by Tal - Ben shahar it states " I don’t believe that there is just one right person for each of us, but rather cultivating the chosen relationship” For some people the right person is he or she that has money, houses or cars; but what Tal -Ben shahar means is that is best if as a couple cultivates or puts work on getting the house, car or money together.
A long happy relationship is not impossible. A relationship is like a house we must begin to build on solid ground. If we wish for the house to stand and not fall. If a relationship is build by two people. Making sacrifices for one another shows how much a couple understands and care for each other .Jon Gertner writers “....the problem is you cant always get what you want“.This quote is very important to remember because we may wish your partner to look great and have a good economic possibility. If you think about this twice you may ask yourslef is that really what you want ?I think unconditional is a bright way to look at a idea such as this one . unconditional love plays a positive role in a long and happy relationship .After all the looks on that guy you dreamed may not make you happy but , the way he is will make you want to be with him always because he will make you happy . Maintaning a long and happy relationship is not as hard and impossible as it may look or as you may think it is !

In conclusion a long happy relationship is not impossible. A relationship is like a house we must begin to build on solid ground. If we wish for the house to stand and not fall. If a relationship is build by two people, if we make sacrifices for one another and if we love our significant other unconditionally we can obtain a long lasting relationship.

Spending time with loved ones.

As we grow up we are surrounded by all the people we love and people who care about us . We have mom and dad to take care of us. Its as if they were our superheros . They always there when we cry ,when we laugh . It does not matter what occasion but they are there when we need their help . At all times they try to keep us protected and safe .

When I was about eight years old I remember I would love to go anywhere my mom went . I loved when we would spend time together in the kitchen and i would help her make diner . In my mother i found that security and love I was looking for . As i got older I was very suprised that I will tell my mom everything about my life . I think its important for parents to spend time with their children in order to have a good parent and child relationship .

Cultivating vs Finding

If we talk about a relationship between a couple cultivating and finding can apply . There are some women and man who look for a mate in order to succeed together . The have dreams such as buying a car, a house or going on vacation . They plan out these goals and as a couple decide that the will work together in order to make these goals possible . On the other hand finding is when your looking for something specific . For example you want to marry a guy who owns a house and a car and he is very rich ,So you would look for a guy who meets those qualities . I would prefer more to cultivate something together with my partner in order for us to succeed together and to help one another .

Gratitude

I have an enormous gratitude with my parents for taking care for me all this time . They have provided me with everything I needed and they always cared for me . People can have many ways of showing their gratitude for something they are thank full . The way I thanked my parents was by not giving them much problems . As they raised me I would also listen to them, do chores around the house , and I also put lots of effort in school so they would be proud of me . My parents always told me that they would do anything for me as long as I did my best in school . I Listened to my parents and thats way am here .I want to show my parents all the effort they put to raise me was for a good and that I would not let them down.
