Stuffed animals and plush toys are very good for depression in adults and children.
I have a stuffed duck that I had since 1988 that my dad bought for me at Walmart in April of 1988, when I was 1 month old.
That duck has been my friend ever since and I have loved him all those years and whenever I'm feeling depressed I can hold him, look at him, talk to him etc and he makes me feel much better.
That duck is so great that no matter how depressed or bad I'm feeling, I can just sit him in front of me where he's looking at me and I can't help but smile when I see him.
The plush duck that I had since I was a baby instantly takes me out of my depressive mood.
Me and that duck were meant to be together.
He also sleeps with me and I sleep much better with him and I'm 38 years old, just like him.
It's also like he's alive and wants to be with me, because, when I wake up, I sit him up on the pillow and he'll usually fall back down into my arms.
He's so cute.
No matter what you're age, plush toys and stuffed animals are great to have.
