Post traumatic depression is without a doubt one of the psychological illnesses that are extremely hard to treat. As of the year 2000, we still had some Second World War veterans trying to deal with the post traumatic depression from the war years. What is worse, post traumatic depression has this tendency to become worse with time, which is ironical, seeing that we would ordinarily expect it to go down with the passage of time from the incidence of the traumatic event that caused it. We have even seen it cause other (potentially worse) psychological disorders, like where a person starts with the post traumatic depression, and ends with a case of psychosis as well; as the 'demons of the past' haunt him or her. Several approaches have traditionally been used in an attempt to treat post traumatic depression. The first of those is psychotherapy, where the victims of the depression are helped to try to put the circumstances under which the traumatic events took place in proper perspective. This is an approach that definitely works in resolving some cases of post traumatic depression. Sometimes, it can be so effective that at the end of it all, the victim ends up in an even better psychologically empowered position than they were before the traumatic event. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for all cases - so that we end up in situations where some people never get any relief, in spite of the very best efforts at psychological counseling. The second commonly used approach in the treatment of post traumatic depression is medication (clinically known as the pharmacological approach). This is where the victims of the traumatic events are given depression medications, like the so-called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the mono-amine oxidase inhibitors and the try-cyclic anti-depressants. Unfortunately, these too don't work in some cases, and seeing that they are seen as the last line of treatment, it can be very worrisome for someone who doesn't seem to benefit from psychotherapy, and who has anti-depressants prescribed, only for those to turn out to be ineffective too. What is interesting to note is that, in many cases, the solution to post traumatic depression may lie in something as simple as quartz crystals. But seeing how quartz crystals can help in the treatment of post traumatic depression calls for a major shift in perspective. The truth of the matter, however, is that the crystals can indeed help with these conditions. What one needs to know is that the quartz crystals can help to restore the balance of energy in the body. What one also needs to know is that what happens in traumatic experiences (at least according to oriental medicine practitioners), is that the trauma causes the balance of energy in the body to be lost. This is what manifests through the various depressive symptoms. So what the quartz crystals do, rather than attempt to treat the symptoms of post traumatic depression is to treat the problem from its deepest roots. This they do by restoring the balance of body energy that will have been lost due to the traumatic event, and hence healing the victim of depressive symptoms that are likely to have arisen out of that body energy disturbance.
There are many written articles on quartz crystal and how it plays a vital role in our body. Another great product for our bodies is resveratrol. It has been referred to as the ultimate fountain of youth and helps us to remain young forever.
