Depression is a mental or psychological disorder that changes the emotional state of death and depression and affects how a person physically functions and interacts in society. The various types of depression include major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and atypical depression.
Having mentioned all types of depression, medical studies and studies were conducted to determine what causes depression. The pharmaceutical industry has a pet theory, according to which a brain deficit of serotonin is a source of depression or a more general / basic term, chemical imbalance in the brain. This theory was created when depressed people had a decrease in the number of monoamines (for example, serotonin and norepinephrine), which is a certain type of neurotransmitters. Unfortunately, this chemical imbalance is a symptom rather than a cause. To appreciate it better, a simple explanation is that these low levels of serotonin are the result of more negative contemplation and rarely engage in activities that give individual self-satisfaction or happiness. In this regard, there are still no studies that have definitively confirmed or substantiated the exact or exact root of the depression.
Others perceive depression as a biological disorder, but this is not the case, and the virus cannot be acquired or transmitted by others. In the 2003 book “Human Givens” by J. Griffin and I. Tyrrell, he was often repeated and emphasized that depression is not a disease, not a chemical imbalance. They described depression as an individual's spontaneous response to a specific emotional introspection. In the absence of a definite or clear explanation and understanding of the cause of depression, people somehow adhere to the closest or nearest medical explanation.
Recent depression statistics show that about 70 million people suffer from their symptoms, which include, but are not limited to, uselessness, difficulty sleeping, feeling of gloom, lack of energy and a bad attitude to life. These and other symptoms lead to the destruction of oneself, starting with pessimism, lack of enthusiasm and lack of initiative. As a result of these negatives, the body and mind receive and also send negative energies. Diseases, illnesses and other medical conditions are sometimes the result of this situation. Other consequences may be desperate, irrational or thoughtless decisions and actions that a person regrets later.
No matter how alarming this may sound, each person must take into account in order to lower the figures and prevent them from increasing. Although the medicine is different for every depressed person, the overall goal is to change the condition and restore the normal life that each of us deserves. With its various causes, there are spiritual ways that will help push out depressed people from the situation they are in and be able to live a bright, happy and full life.
As explained earlier, depression is not a chemical imbalance. This is not the cause of depression, but only a symptom. Having said this, some people say and believe that this is all in the mind or this state of mind. A person in a state of depression has lost touch with the fact that eternity, bliss and knowledge are indeed part of the quality of life. No medicine or science can really be the solution for changing and overcoming depression, because here it’s about the attitude and behavior that we are talking about here.
To see a more holistic view of depression, consider the following as the cause or part of the cause of depression:
a. Medical factors. Physical or medical factors can provoke a person to a different perspective in life or a mental disorder in life. They begin to feel and think negative thoughts and eventually stop trying to feel confident in their condition. Hormonal imbalance, poor diet, weak nervous system can interfere with your positive outlook in life.
b. External factors. Social status, culture, system, traumatic experience or just like the weather, can cause depression. People sometimes become sad and depressed when it is overcast or it is raining. In pursuit there is something that attracts melancholy.
from. Emotional or psychological factors. Mistakes that cannot be overcome also cause depression. When a person tends to dwell on fault and mistakes that can be reversed, surround themselves with negative people, holds discontent, jealousy and envy are likely to be depressed.
According to Associate Professor (Harold Koenig, MD) at Duke University Medical Center, spiritual strength and holistic healing play a significant role and cannot be ignored as a variable that helps patients cope with depression. Studies have shown that strategies that include spirituality or religion provide the best result, as confirmed at the 2002 annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association.
This remarkable result paved the way for spiritual support in a different light. Then you should pay attention to the beliefs and spiritual practices of the patient in order to better find the right solution or heal them. Although spirituality is not the only answer to depression, it is really a big help, if you do not cure it 100% and then at least make it less and ultimately solve it. Here are some ways and tips on how spirituality can lift a person from a depressed state of mind:
Analyze the root cause of the problem. To determine the real cause, you need to reflect and spend time worrying. It may take several days, and it would be helpful to pay attention to the thoughts and find someone who can help you find a root problem.
The correct treatment for the correct problem. After determining the root problem, you can already apply and find the right solution. If the problem is physical or health related, you can consult a doctor to solve the problem or pain that causes depression. Exercise, nourishing a diet or strengthening the nervous system through relaxation or regular prayer can help provide you with energy for a more refreshing and invigorating physical and mental person who helps to overcome a weak body and a depressed mind.
If the problem is external, emotional or psychological, habits that are undesirable should be avoided. Try to live a simple, clean and righteous life, connecting or surrounding yourself with the right group of people or friends who have the same values, are spiritually inclined and have only a positive outlook on life. These people will help you cope with your difficulties and problems in order to be free from the negatives you are holding onto.
We can control our body and mind if we have strong spiritual help. We can always feel confident in everything, if we believe in something more or more powerful than we can really help us. Healing Reiki can provide great support to a depressed person. The healing energy that Reiki offers is more than enough to project and deliver positive energies from a Reiki healer, which will be passed on to a depressed person. Healing Reiki is an intangible gift (peace of mind and soul) to any person who receives it, so a more holistic point of view and another perspective is experience.
