Depression Can Make You Age Faster – Here’s Why Aging is a natural part of life. However, premature aging is not natural at all. There are many
factors that contribute to premature aging - stress, anxiety, depression, health problems, money problems etc., but the most debilitating effect is that of depression. It impacts your health directly, making you appear to be older than you actually are.
Depression can be devastating, affecting all areas of your life and curbing your ability to move forward. The first step in resolving the problem (after consulting your doctor for advice and guidance) is to make the decision to do whatever it takes to take back control over how you feel. Eutaptics can help you to get rid of your depression, but only if you apply it diligently– and use it correctly. Having said that, it is crucial you continue to take any medication that your doctor has prescribed and follow any other medical instructions. You can use Eutaptics to complement other treatments – it does not need to replace them.
Why You Can’t Think Yourself Younger You’ve probably been bombarded with positive affirmations and visualizations that claim to make you look younger. You may have even read that if you keep repeating positive thoughts, it’ll clear away all your depression and its effects. While positive thinking has its benefits, it has only a limited success rate. The reason conscious thinking does very little to change depression is that the state of depression is physiological, not intellectual. The feeling of depression is caused by chemicals in your body; and since the job of the conscious mind is to give meaning to experiences using reason and logic, it creates thought patterns that serve to explain the feelings. This becomes a cycle as the thoughts match the feelings – and those thoughts trigger more of the matching chemicals. Changing the thoughts, under normal circumstances, would result in a change in the chemicals – and as a result, the feelings. These changed feelings would make you feel happier, healthier and you’d probably look better than before! However, because depression is not a normal physiological state, and is being produced on “automatic” as a result of deeper programming, conscious thinking has little effect on the feeling of depression.
In order to change the feeling of depression, the chemical state needs to change (this is often addressed by medication) and in order to change the chemical state, the brain needs to trigger the organs to produce different chemicals.
