Hi

Welcome to the forum. Meditation is one of the natural methods to control negative thoughts and gain concentration. The other best thing that you can do is practice yoga under an expert to improve your power to concentrate and draw in positive energy for yourself.

You should consult a counselor and get cognitive behavior therapy. This will help you to get into any kind of depression and feeling of being lonely or left alone. If you still feel sick, visit a doctor you may need anti-depressants.

You can take natural mood elevators like walnuts, soyabeans, tofu, tulsi tea, broccoli if you are a non-vegetarian you can take fishes ( salmon, shrimps, etc ) Keep well hydrated.

To keep away negative thoughts take some amount of sunlight everyday, visit a parlour, take a beauty massage, exercise, visit friends, watch movies, sing songs. Keep yourself stress free and merry.

Hi and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your question...

Repeated or persistent negative thoughts can be present in a variety of psychiatric conditions like depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, etc. The first step is that you need to have a detailed psychological assessment done by a psychiatrist who will be able to find out why you are suffering from these negative thoughts.

The second step will be appropriate treatment. This could be in two ways. Medication or psychotherapy / counselling. There are certain good psychotherapy techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which can help you with overcoming these negative thoughts. So, please seek the help of a psychiatrist at the earliest.

Wish you all the best.
