The Health Benefits of Honey and fresh herbs in a nice cup of tea and honey is a great natural remedy.

Did you realise that around 10 – 25 per cent of women and 5 – 12 per cent of men experience these feelings of depression at some point in their lives.

Even children bless them, suffer with feelings of depression which is such a shame because most of the time they are unable to describe their feelings to adults.

They can't say I am depressed or I feel depressed and then quite often are seen as naughty toddlers throwing temper tantrums or moody teenagers (which can be unfair) who are going through all kinds of emotions which can in turn lead to awful symptoms of depression.

You question yourself then and think but why am I depressed, I have everything I want don’t I? So why do I feel depressed!

More often or not there is something awful going on in your life, something traumatic like losing a loved one or losing your job, money worries and concerns, having a fall out with a friend, an argument that cannot for now be resolved, a bullying boss or work mate.

The list is endless but they can all give you those feelings of depression symptoms which can be relieved with natural cures for depression.

Children’s depression symptoms feel the same to them and often they throw those little hissy fits because they are not getting their own way and do not yet have the vocabulary skills to be able to sit down quietly with you and explain by saying I feel depressed.

We need to teach them with talking things over and natural cures for depression!

Most parents are under some form of stress themselves and so like one big un-happy circle of depression everyone involved feels depressed, what a depressive state we get ourselves into at times!

Those little hissy fits can often be seen in the shopping aisles and how embarrassing are they! Its no wonder when that happens you shout to yourself (inside your head) I feel depressed, I am depressed!

Lets sort the little one’s out first shall we……..if you don’t have any little ones you can skip this bit however if you are planning on them at some stage please read on.

Let’s take the scenario of a little one wanting something you know they can’t have because for what ever reason they just can’t have it!

Here we go……hissy fit, lots of crying and tantrums but also anxiety and symptoms of depression for both or all of you.

Children love role-play, they often understand this better than the spoken word so lets say for example they wanted something that you know would hurt or harm them.

The trouble is they don’t know this so you need to show them with natural remedies for depression like simple talking and introducing more honey into their diet.

Pretend this “thing” has hurt you, pretend to cry and even feign depression symptoms, but don’t overdo it, you don’t need to frighten them!

Show them you are un-happy then quickly dive into something else and laugh and smile uncontrollably even if you feel you look silly.

Children love this and more often than not they will forget what it was they wanted and their depression symptoms will vanish very quickly and hopefully so will yours.

And yes they probably are depressed. Their bodies are changing…….their hormones are running wild, a lot of the time they seem out of control and lets face it they do an awful lot of crying!

Most of the time they tell their friends "I feel depressed" and ask "Am I depressed?"

Even the boys…....and that is nothing to be ashamed of, because we are all human and all share human emotions they are just as capable of thinking "Am I Depressed". Crying is a way of letting go of those depressive feelings, sometimes it is the best cure there is for short term depression symptoms.

The girls quite often think to themselves why am I depressed, I am so fed up feeling depressed! Girls, now I know what I’m talking about here as I have had five daughters of my own.

There is very little I have experienced about teenage daughters and their emotions, I work with teenagers too so there’s not much you can tell me that I don’t already know!

However, and this goes for boys and girls, if somebody is bullying or abusing you of course you are feeling depressed and you MUST speak to an adult you trust.

DO NOT ever keep these things a secret. There will always be somebody to talk to whether it’s a parent, an aunty, uncle, cousin, teacher, a friends parent, so long as it is someone you know you can fully trust.

You must tell so you can be helped and no longer live with these awful depression symptoms and please, do it NOW.

At times you are feeling bogged down with school work, you have exams looming or homework and course work to meet deadlines for. Enough to make anyone feel depressed!

You want that new top or those crazy new trainers that “everybody” else has but mum or dad say’s NO.

All your friends have boyfriends and you don’t (that won’t last forever I can promise you that honey). You have a spot, a pimple, acne or a scar, you feel overweight, mum and dad are arguing, your brother or your sister are “better” than you…………and so on!

So you shout to yourself and anyone who’ll listen I Feel Depressed. Trouble is so do they because when there is one un-happy soul around everyone suffers with depression symptoms. We all need at times, natural remedies for depression!

It is just as difficult for us adults to cope with the trials and tribulations that life throws at us; we are more often under pressure from work and bringing up the family.

Bereavement is something we find ourselves having to cope with more often and life sucks in general a lot of the time.

We always take things out on those closest to us, we don’t mean to that is just the way life is! We feel depressed and without meaning to, we pass on those depression symptoms to others.

There are many forms of depression and the ones I am helping you with are feelings of anxiety, sadness and feeling low in general, not those of clinical depression.

Other forms of depression must be diagnosed by your own doctor who is medically trained to help you overcome these types of depression.

During low points in our lives we can help ourselves to a degree by simply making changes in our lives.

One of the best natural remedies for depression is to change the way we think. This can be done.

We can literally think ourselves positively happy by making a list of everything that is good in our lives and concentrating on those.

Yet another is to take walks preferably somewhere you have never been before. When we open our eyes to all that nature supplies us with we can experience a feel good factor.

Stop and take time to examine a flower in all its beauty, look at the wonderful landscapes there are and marvel at what nature and honey bees are responsible for pollinating.

Some great natural remedies for depression is to smile and talk and listen to music, this is particularly good as it can change our mood instantly.

Yet more natural remedies for depression are to make time for you…..yes YOU time, take a bath with some sweet smelling candles and maybe a homemade beauty product such as a honey bath fizz to relax you.

Whilst doing this, day dream, tell yourself there is no way you can carry on feeling like this and then think about how you will not be here, with depression symptoms in 6 months to a year still thinking "Am I Depressed".

Use the power of your mind to naturally cure yourself from these depression symptoms, no longer think I am depressed, I feel depressed, it can be done.

My favourite natural remedies for depression are to eat honey, try this with apple cider and vinegar which is great for anxiety and fatigue try the honey diet to give you a boost.

This is capable of enhancing your mood as well as having a calming influence and improving your health which all help with those awful feelings of depression.

Eat honey and talk honey, a great natural cure which will soon stop you thinking……Am I Depressed, I feel depressed, why am I depressed? You have discovered some of the best natural cures for depression.

By eating honey it maybe all you need, however this website link will take you to a website that deals only with depression and is one I feel could help you considerably to understand these awful feelings further.

Please remember, everyone no matter who we are, has the right to be happy and should not be thinking "Am I depressed".
