"Depression" :- A dangerous disease.

- Health Sanjeevani - Janviben Bhatt

Depression means "disappointment", "melancholy" or "depression" Depression is a very common disease. Nowadays it seems like there is talk of depression. Even people who seem to be healthy and happy in body and mind are seen to be victims of depression. In countries like England-America, even 8-9 year old children are often seen with depression.

In a life full of constant running, human beings constantly feel a kind of stress. Depression is born from constant excessive worry, restlessness, depression, insomnia etc. Individuals who are more sensitive by nature are quick victims of this disease.

When a tragic situation occurs in a person's life, the person is plunged into intense sadness or depression due to that situation. Death of a loved one, heavy loss in business, failure in love, serious-physical illness, failure in exams, accident or any other reason, when there is a lot of sadness or despair in the mind and when this despair persists for a long period of time, a person suffers from depression. Often in this state the periods keep coming frequently.

Symptoms of depression, apathy, hopelessness, anger, lack of enthusiasm, lack of aptitude, feeling of uselessness, excessive anxiety, suspicious nature, lack of self-confidence etc. are seen in the life of a person who is a victim of depression. I have seen that women suffer more from this disease than men.

Depression has its place both in the person's mind and in the situation. Sometimes it is the situation that causes depression and sometimes some individuals have a mind structure or genes that make them feel depressed even in normal situations. Often this disease is seen in the offspring due to some temperamental traits of the parents. Depression is an experience of powerlessness. Melancholy, hopelessness, lack of enthusiasm, etc. symptoms result from impotence. Depression is more common in weak-minded individuals, and depression is rare in strong-minded individuals despite apparently adverse external factors. The reason for this to happen is that an honest person does not experience a pull of life force. So the experience of depression due to lack of vitality cannot take place in their life.

Psychologists treat depression through medication as well as psychoanalysis, counseling etc. But Ayurveda has many treatments for depression, and there is no harm in continuing these medicines for a long time.

First of all make the mind strong like iron. Situations are always changing and no situation is permanent. Living this verse gives moral courage to face any kind of suffering.

Give place to contentment in life and don't worry wrongly. Always adopt a positive attitude and give priority to laughter in life. Always keep the mind active. T.V. Make it a habit to watch shows that make you laugh.

Apart from this, in Ayurveda, pranayama and meditation are considered best for depression. Do 20-25 minutes of Anulom-Vilom Pranayama and half an hour of Dhyana-Meditation every day, by doing this you will be able to control your thoughts very quickly. Apart from this, "Shirodhara treatment" in Ayurveda gives very good results for depression patients.

In Shirodhara, medicated oil or ghee that calms the brain is poured over the head. So the circulation of blood also increases and the brain feels peaceful. This treatment gives very good results in "insomnia" patients. Apart from this, in Ayurveda, it is prescribed to take medicines such as Brahmivati, Matharsayan, Saraswat Churna, which, if taken according to the advice of an expert, are definitely beneficial. The above mentioned yoga and medicine can undoubtedly get rid of the disease of depression.
