According to HealthDay News, self-help books and websites can benefit people with severe depression.
The study suggests that books and interactive website browsing should be included as part of the first line of treatment.
The research included about 2500 adult patients with varying degrees of depression, who have received treatment outside of hospitals.
The findings indicate that low-intensity interventions like self-help books and interactive websites should be part of first treatment to the disease.
According to the report published on Feb. 26 in the BMJ, ?Patients with more severe depression derived at least as much benefit from low-intensity interventions ? such as self-help books and interactive websites ? as those with less severe depression.?
In a news release, Arfanakis said that ?Reading the newspaper, writing letters, visiting a library, attending a play or playing games, such as chess or checkers, are all simple activities that can contribute to a healthier brain?.
According to PubMed Health, depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps, and clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for a longer period of time.
