Dealing With Depression In Men And Women

Having a child diagnosed with autism (or any kind of special needs) is hard for each and everyone of us. Start doing bio-medical treatments, therapies and out of state doctors consultations and you have a recipe for financial disaster. If the family has other children, you have just added more stress to the pile. Mix in an unruly pet and someone can potentially loses any self control that they thought they had.

Depression in men can make it harder if they are the main bread winner of the family. Why? Because if they lose their job, there goes the security for the wife.

My husband suffered on and off with minor bouts of depression throughout the years. A few years back we took a calculated risk and borrowed from our equity line to help pay for medical treatments for our son. We took the money and invested it in real estate. Guess what? We lost it all. This sent my husband into a severe and long period of depression. I'll never forget how horrible of a time that was.

It was so bad that he tried a number of prescription depression medications. Nothing worked. He sought counseling and it too did not help. We talked endlessly and the encouragement I gave him only helped temporarily. Finally, we found three things to help him overcome.

The first thing we discovered that he was B12 deficient. This was discovered through a blood test. The best book on the subject is the book called Could It Be B12?. Read it, follow its instructions. My husband takes regular B12 shots now and is fine.

The second thing I bought him was the book The Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer. He was able to wrap his brain around what Joyce was saying about controlling your thoughts and his B12 level was brought into the normal range and the depression was lifted.

Joyce's book does a good job in helping to lift depression in men and women. She points out how we are under attack and the enemy is out to cause us to doubt, be afraid and confused. The war that is going on in our minds can make or break each and everyone of us. In her book, Joyce gives you tools to overcome. She gives you ways to strengthen your relationship with our Almighty God.

My husband fought back with the tools that he learned from the book, 'Battlefield Of The Mind.' I encourage you to buy the book and the devotional and give it to someone you know who is struggling with depression. No drugs, no counseling, no hospitals. God's way. A depression cure that lasts forever. The natural remedies for depression. This book does an excellent job helping someone to overcome a major depression order.

The third thing we did was put him on a daily supplement of Omega 3, 6 and 9. This helps the heart, the brain and with sleep.

I have received many emails through this website to know that my house was not the only house dealing with depression. Depression in men and women are common to those who have a child with autism or special needs. My husband has learned so much that I have no fear and no doubt that he will ever have even a day of depression again. Now, we can get back to dealing with helping our son to overcome autism.
