Positive Psychology Interventions for Treating DepressiveDisorders Major and Minor, a jdul paper in the August 2011 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine quoted byScience Daily, proposes a new approach to treating depressionwith Positive Activity Interventions (PAI).
PAI is a is a positive activity, practicing optimism, and trying to findwisdom in the events being experienced. This new approach has the potential to be effective in dealing with cases of depression,where they do not have to take your medicine, lower cost, relativelyless time-consuming and promises better results, nor is there anyside effects.
Based on data from the National Institute of Mental Health, morethan 16 million U.S. adults (about 8 percent of the total population)suffer from depression, both severe and chronic. Overall, the WorldHealth Organization estimates that depression affects more than 100 million people worldwide
Although antidepressant medications can save lives some individuals, treatment with the drug is only successful about 30percent. Even after trying 2-4 different drugs, a third person remains depressed.
Over the past few decades, social psychology research in aspects of happiness, optimism, and gratitude, has generated a lot of useful information in a positive activity intervention (PAI) on mood andwell-being.
The main advantage of the positive activities is that they are more easily made and inexpensive, yet highly effective
