Depression: Causes, Part 2

by Loren Parks

(Page 2 of 2)

Depression may be self-induced, in a period of acute grief. It hangs on in Pavlovian fashion. That it is a disease is simply an excuse made by inept therapists. A rapid cure requires outside intervention in some form, and there are many ways of doing it with varying degrees of effectiveness. Some people use self-hypnosis effectively. I think hypnoanalysis is the best therapy for long-standing depression. What I do is an abbreviated form without the hypnosis. The subconscious is not a rational, reasoning mind. IF YOU CAN REMEMBER ANYTHING AND FEEL A NEGATIVE EMOTION WITH THAT MEMORY, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!

I have helped thousands of people in classes and by radio and TV over a period of 30 years. I do not charge. I am now retired and do it only for the purpose of helping others and finding quicker ways. I do not have an advanced degree. I consider it a handicap.

I need no one's money. No therapist who works for pay is interested in getting anybody well in 5 minutes. The process I use is mechanical. It requires only that you WANT to get well. Believing you will get well is not a part of it, because nobody believes UNLESS he/she knows someone I've helped. I instruct people via this website in self healing to help themselves..immediately. I mean minutes. Many are helped, but not all.

Where are you on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is virtually suicidal and 10 is as happy as you could reasonably expect to be? If you are 6 or 7, results would not be very noticeable and I ask that you not call. If you are below 5, I might help you. Results are immediate, one 15 minute session as a rule and no charge. ALWAYS try my telephone hotline first (go to Home page shown below). Many benefit directly from that. BUT depression is usually caused by several past upsets as well as present ones. It is a heavy feeling. I tell the subconscious to disconnect you from the upset causing the condition. There is no trance. Don't expect to understand. Just feel the results. The subconscious is always listening.

Most people cannot do it themselves. It takes an outsider. If you or someone you know fits the above and wants help (U.S. only) e-mail me at the address below. I have streaming audio web therapy on my home page. U.S. and Canada can be served by telephone automated therapy.

If you want to call and talk to me, be prepared to say what was going on in your life when the depression started. Common causes of chronic depression are being unloved by parents, broken love relationships, deaths, worry over money, failures, self blame, guilt you laid on yourself or accepted from someone else, etc. Guilt is the most devastating. Being broke or out of a job does not qualify because that's an ongoing stress you need to take care of on your own. Also if you have an unreasonable fear (phobia) like heights, stage fright, flying, test anxiety, spiders, snakes, lightning, etc.) or if you are dyslexic, list it, as it requires only a few minutes to fix (usually).

I have nothing to sell, but I do ask for feedback on the results within a few days. Otherwise you will forget you were ever depressed!

There has been a lot published about methyl donors from folic acid and use of B-6 as helpful in depression, especially in older people, plus SAM-e. Raw foods provide methyl donors in moderation. Include them in your daily diet if you can.

If you are bi-polar do not take folic acid except under a physician's advice. In general folic acid and B-6 are very important for cardiovascular health. I have benefitted from taking DHEA and found it to be a product that just generally makes me function better. There is controversy in all these things and your doctor may or may not be up to date. I am not providing medical advice. I just am reporting what I read and what has worked for me. I have just learned that I have successfully reduced the plaque in my coronary arteries by about 12%. I did this by doing non-conventional things, but in truth, I don't know which specific thing did the job.

A $6 paperback "The Methylation Miracle" by Dr. Paul Frankel is new and packed with info about benefits of methylation on heart disease, cancer and depression. It advocates primarily dietary changes but some supplementation with B-6, Folic acid and B-12, all of which are cheap. I bought mine at Barnes and Noble.

For the use of Pregnenolone (over the counter) for depression and memory enhancement, check out www.cancerproducts.com. This site is Mexican and tho the information is good I think you get a better price at www.lef.org, the Life Extension Foundation in Florida or buy at your local health food store.

I have no personal experience with the forementioned supplements for depression.

You must be careful about buying SAM-e because it is expensive and some firms cheat. Use established names like Twin-Lab, GNC, Prolongevity and read more at Life Extension Foundation at www.lef.org. They are reliable.

Personal experience has been with DHEA, available at the health food store. I am male, 74. Taken in the morning, I find that I just feel more "up" during the day. Women, maybe 15 mg/day. Older men, maybe 50 mg. My doctor suggested 100 mg/day but I take 25 to 50 and a hormone test put me in the normal range. Products mentioned are primarily for older people, not kids. You're on your own here. I'm not a doctor.

Melatonin, taken at bedtime is reputed to help reverse the aging process and allows a deeper sleep. I also take RECOM (HGH4life.com) as an age reversing growth hormone stimulant of the pituitary and it definitely has made improvements in how I feel in general. I have lots of disappointments in life, but I am not inclined to be depressed. I try to work my way out of whatever unfortunate happening has occurred. I tend not to be very emotional.

The single most important psychological thing most people can do to reduce depression of long standing, is disconnect themselves emotionally from selected persons. Long-standing depression is most likely psychological, and not due to gradual hormone loss due to aging. Often it's mother, father, a former lover or husband, even a child. The message is designed to just take out the bad experiences, not the good ones. See my streaming audio on the main page and/or the automated therapy in the listing at the top of parksmed.com/psych.

Admittedly, this page is a hodge-podge as I add to it as I think of things, so there is repetition. Just remember, it's free. I do this spare time.

I have found that good results are often obtained by disconnecting upsetting events occurring with a certain person, or event. We must make the subconscious look for the right target.

If you have had an abortion or a miscarriage, play my telephone or streaming audio message for abortion and have miscarriage in mind too. If you have played the messages and still have a problem with depression NOT due to severe ongoing stress, contact me and I will likely work with you by phone. All is free. I travel a lot. You may not get an answer right away.
