The 11 Best Crystals & Gemstones For Depression

Depression is a serious mood disorder. Typical symptoms are a depressed mood, low energy levels, general joylessness, hopelessness, inner restlessness, and self-doubt. Affected people tend to worry and think incessantly without reaching their actual goals. They are restless, nervous, and unsettled. In this blog post, I’ll present to you the 11 best healing crystals and gemstones for depression that I’ve tested, and that worked for me!

However, this is in no means medical advice. Please do not hesitate to consult a doctor, even if it seems unpleasant or you are unsure. Crystals and gemstones can serve as an effective additional treatment or help for depression but never replace the main treatment!

Occurrence and Duration of Depression

In most cases, depression disappears by itself. However, the phases of the illness are very long, lasting several months, and therefore extremely tormenting, especially as they set those affected back in their lives.

With treatment, patients can hope for a quicker improvement. Due to the vulnerability of those affected, the depression usually returns at another point.

It then tends to occur at even shorter intervals.

Depression in chronic form is also possible, in which patients are considered to be “out of therapy” because they have undergone the usual methods of conventional treatments without success.

The 11 Best Crystals & Gemstones For Depression

These crystals and gemstones for depression prevent mood swings, help to gain more confidence and positive attitude towards life, give vitality and joy.

I use the healing properties of crystals and gemstones in my everyday life since they are not only calming and grounding, they also help to support the soul insofar as they bring the mind back into a constructive way of working.

If you believe in the healing properties of crystals and gemstones, then you will also feel the results.

(This spiritual view is also supported by many scientific studies that show that the placebo effect often achieves equal therapeutic benefits as conventional treatments.)

By developing my spirituality, I have also improved my mental health in many different ways.
