DEPRESSION:
If you haven't experienced the pain of depression you don't know just how debilitating this illness can be. I list here some potential causes of depression. Once we isolate the cause together it will enable you to move towards relief from the symptoms of depression and ultimately to be cured.
20 percent of the population is depressed at any given time
Aside from the emotional down other symptoms are lack of appetite, early morning awakenings, inability to get out of bed and face the day, lethargy, et. al.
There are many possible reasons for depression: lack of B12 vitamin, thyroid dysfunction, post-trauma or loss, PMS or hormonal imbalance, 'Yuppies Disease,' emotional or sexual suppression, feelings of being unfulfilled or life's purpose is unclear, and after a period of extreme stress, depression may develop…there are many possibilities.
Negative thought patterns can cause depression.
If you are used to bouts of depression, the body can even become addicted to it!
Lack of movement can cause depression as can the lack of sun light.
And, of course, chemical imbalances in the brain can cause depression.
There are long term but mild depressions and there are major depressions that are heavy and more symptomatic.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET OUT SOONER THAN LATER AS IT CAN SPIRAL DOWNWARD. IT'S SIMPLY NOT CONSTRUCTIVE. THE POINT IS TO GET OUT OF IT. I AM HERE FOR YOU AND WE CAN GO ON THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER.
Whatsoever the cause of your depression, there is always hope and there is a deeper understanding there to be learned. There is a definite place for self-growth and, in that sense, you can 'thank' your depression for the opening. You are being granted a possibility to leap forward in your development as a person-don't miss this opportunity to learn who you are and to find the place within you that is your true self beyond the veneer of depression, the self that is blissful, content, is love itself as well as pure health.
