The Prodigy’s singer Keith Flint, best known for the song ‘Firestarter’, has been found dead at his home in England. The band has announced that the 49-year-old died by suicide.

7 Types of Psychotherapy That Are Effective for Depression
The word "therapy" is used to describe many different types of treatments. Psychotherapists often use a specific
type of therapy to treat depression. Some of them use an eclectic approach, based on a client's treatment needs.
While there are many different types of therapy, a 2013 study examined which therapies are most effective for depression. Researchers found that the following therapies were equally effective in reducing depression.
Interpersonal therapy is relatively short in duration. Sessions are highly structured. It's based on the idea that your relationships are at the forefront of depression. The
goal of treatment is to help patients improve skills, such as communication skills and conflict-resolution skills.
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on helping people identify and replace cognitive distortions and behavioral patterns that reinforce
depressive feelings. It is usually short-term and it focuses on present problems and skills teaching.
Social skills therapy teaches patients how to establish healthy relationships. The goal is for patients to improve communication and learn how
to build a strong social network with individuals based on honesty and respect.
Psychodynamic therapy is often featured in movies or pop culture. It involves helping patients explore their unconscious and unhealed emotional wounds from the past.
The goal is to help people learn how their depression is related to past experiences and unresolved conflicts. The therapist helps patients address those issues so they can move forward in a productive manner.
Supportive counseling is unstructured
and focuses on listening to the patient. Patients are invited to address whatever issues they want to talk about and the therapist uses empathy to provide understanding and support.
Behavioral activation raises awareness of pleasant activities. The therapist
seeks to increase positive interactions between the patient and the environment. By getting active and engaging in more pleasurable activities, symptoms of depression may be reduced.
Problem-solving therapy aims to define a patient's problems. Then, multiple
solutions are offered. The therapist helps the patient evaluate options and choose a solution.
Family or Couple Therapy
Family or couple therapy may be considered when depression affects others in the household. Therapy that involves other
family members focuses on the interpersonal relationships.
The roles played by various family members in a patient's depression may be examined. Education about depression in a general way may also be a part of family therapy.

In addition, certain illnesses, such as thyroid disorders, Addison's disease, and liver disease, can cause depression symptoms.
The following medical conditions have also been associated with mood disorders: Medical problems
Certain medical problems are linked to lasting, significant mood disturbances. In fact,
medical illnesses or medications may be at the root of up to 10% to 15% of all depressions.
Among the best-known culprits are two thyroid hormone imbalances. An excess of thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism) can trigger manic symptoms. On the other hand, hypothyroidism, a condition in which your body produces too little thyroid hormone, often leads to exhaustion and depression.
degenerative neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's
disease
stroke
some nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin B12
other endocrine disorders, such as problems with the parathyroid or adrenal glands that cause them to produce too little or too much of particular hormones
certain
immune system diseases, such as lupus
some viruses and other infections, such as mononucleosis, hepatitis, and HIV
cancer
erectile dysfunction in men.
When considering the connection between health problems and depression, an important
question to address is which came first, the medical condition or the mood changes. There is no doubt that the stress of having certain illnesses can trigger depression. In other cases, depression precedes the medical illness and may even contribute to it.
To find out whether the mood changes occurred on their own or as a result of the medical illness, a doctor carefully considers a person's medical history and the results of a physical exam.
If depression or mania springs from an underlying medical problem, the mood changes should disappear after the medical condition is treated. If you have hypothyroidism, for example, lethargy and depression often lift once treatment regulates the level of thyroid hormone in your blood. In many cases, however, the depression is an independent problem, which means that in order to be successful, treatment must address depression directly.

U svakom slucaju, treba biti oprezan, praktican i sve temeljno prostudirati. Od pameti i racionalnosti, "bazirano na cinjenicama," jos niko nije poludeo. Dr. S.
Kao sto vidite, niko ne prica o dusevnim merama lecenja kod dusevnih poremecaja. Neko slucajno ili namerno zaboravlja uticaj Hriscanske vere kao filozofiju zivljenja i uticaja na zdravu psihu. Bas interesantno za razmisliti.
Otac Arsenije smatra da nisu svi problemi za psihijatre i lekove, jer se mnogi problemi mogu rešiti molitvom i ako se suočimo sa sobom.
Prošao je dug i trnovit put sve dok kod Boga nije pronašao svoj duhovni mir. Kaže da mu je onog trenutka kad je izlečio sebe, Bog podario da može da pomaže i drugima koji se nađu u nekoj teškoj situaciji.
Mudre reči monaha Arsenija Jovanovića: Nisu svi problemi za psihijatra, molitvom iz srca se može mnogo toga rešiti. Pre nego što je došao u Ribnički manastir, 6 godina je proveo u manastiru Ostrog, koji naziva „Duhovni urgenti centar“. Tamo je počeo da se bavi psihoterapijom i pomaže ljudima koji prolaze kroz najteže životne probleme. On na slikovit način govori kako pristupa vernicima kojima je potrebna duhovna pomoć. Kada osoba koja ima problem dođe kod njega, on ga pažljivo sasluša i kreće da traži koren njegovog problema. Kada dođe do korena, on ga obrađuje, čisti, i na kraju čupa. Ali, pominje kako ne mogu svi koreni odmah da se iščupaju, već je za neke potrebno puno vremena da se dobro obrade i sami osuše. - http://www.opanak.net/monah-arsenije-jovanovic/
5 ways to be productive when you're depressed, according to a therapist
When you're depressed or feeling down, concentration can be frustratingly elusive.
All of us will feel grief, sadness or struggle with our mental health over the course of our working life - and a good chunk of us will struggle to stay motivated through it.
Therapist Megan Bruneau has compiled a list of tips for Quartz, aimed at everyone who is going through a tough time and struggling to get stuff done.
1. Get outside
From deep under your duvet, the outside world can look bleak and unappealing.
But getting out the house can trick you into feeling more productive.
Bruneau explained:
2. Cut yourself some slack
You wouldn't expect to move as fast with a broken leg and nor should your expect your working performance to be top-notch when depressed.
Bruneau recommends you set your expectations lower than usual:
Give yourself specific goals to work to: in this hour, in this place, you will work on that looming presentation.
3. Hold yourself accountable
This is far trickier when you're depressed.
But goal-setting with someone else - say a therapist or friend - should give you a dose of motivation.
If you're struggling through a tough time, being alone can be enticing.
Bruneau warns against this:
4. Show self-care and -compassion
You should also make time to self-care, whether through distracting hobbies and exercise or self-reflection.
Exercise in particular has been shown to help with mood.
Research is also increasingly suggesting that self-criticism has a demotivating effect.
5. Consider therapy
Whatever you are struggling with, non-judgemental, confidential and objective support is bound to help.
