Can depression heal itself?

In recent years, the number of people suffering from depression has been increasing. Not only ordinary people suffer from depression, but many celebrities also suffer from depression, and there are also many people who commit suicide due to depression. Simply put, depression is a mental illness that causes patients unbearable pain. It makes patients feel depressed and pessimistic. So, can people recover from depression on their own?

Depression can be cured, but it is very difficult. The main reason why depression is difficult to cure and prone to relapse is that the psychological factors have not been eliminated. Drugs only control certain symptoms of the disease, and it may relapse when encountering stimulation from social and psychological factors. Therefore, it is recommended that it is best to use Chinese medicine in combination with psychotherapy to achieve a good therapeutic effect. Chinese medicine can regulate emotions, wake up the brain, soothe the liver and eliminate phlegm, regulate qi and blood, adjust the body's internal organs and balance yin and yang. Traditional Chinese medicine has few side effects and treats both the symptoms and the root cause. Only by cooperating with psychological treatment to treat the disease fundamentally can a satisfactory treatment effect be achieved. The reason for the recurrence of the disease is that the psychological factors are not treated. Only by removing the psychological factors can a radical cure be achieved.
