Depression
Depression is a common mental health problem that affects 16.2 million adults in the United States, accounting for 6.7% of all Americans over the age of 18. There are many causes of depression, such as genetics, hormones, brain chemistry, physical health, and major life changes. Because clinical depression is so common among Americans, many people are looking for natural remedies to alleviate depression.
Effective treatment of depression usually requires medication, but some medications may form habits or have undesirable side effects. Similarly, natural methods can also be used in conjunction with drugs or therapies to enhance the treatment of depression.
Weighted blanket for depression anxiety
No matter what type of depression bothers someone, these symptoms can have a detrimental effect on the individual, causing them to lose their quality of life.
The weighted blanket is a natural tool to help control disease and its oppressive symptoms. Heavy blankets can be controlled and suppressed by deep touch pressure (DTP).
Weighted blankets are a popular resource for insomnia and many other physical, mental, and emotional problems (including depression).
Understanding how the body responds to touch is essential to understanding how DTP can help treat depression.
Depression and anxiety
More than half of people with depression also feel anxious. Neuroticism, focus on problems, irritability and mood swings are some common symptoms of depression caused by anxiety.
The aggravated blanket can relieve anxiety symptoms through the stress-reducing DTP component. Gentle skin pressure can provide tactile sensory input to the nervous system, thereby bringing a sense of calm and security.
Anxiety and depression can cause extreme neuroticism and delusions. The aggravated blanket can help soothe the nervous system, calm the mind and relieve some anxiety symptoms.
Depression and insomnia
Depression and insomnia often coexist. One of the most common symptoms of depression is insomnia and intimate anxiety.
According to research, people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to experience severe depression episodes (source). Conversely, people with depression are more likely to experience insomnia or difficulty sleeping. Whether it is depression caused by insomnia or depression caused by difficulty in sleeping is still a fact that the two problems are closely related.
Aggravated blankets can help control depression, and can relieve or even cure insomnia. Since insomniacs are ten times more likely to have depression, and healthy sleep habits are essential for effective treatment of depression, it is important to use any available natural tools to improve sleep and depression.
