Opinion about Depression

[The Alchemist7 [SG]]

As far as I observed, and I also do believe, depression is not a physical condition, therefore it cannot be treated with physical treatments. In the vast majority of cases, depression is a consequence of pshychological trauma caused by very unfortunate events that a person went through, for example severe bullying, sexual abuse, violence/beatings, extreme poverty etc.

I've never taken antidepressants but they seem to act exactly like drugs, they induce a temporary artificial state of being that might reduce the feeling of depression for a limited amount of time, after which depression reinstates and the antidepressant will be required again to literally repeat the toxic cycle, leading to addiction. Basically the brain is tricked for a short amount of time to enter that state induced by the antidepressant. This is not meant to heal anybody but is a creation of big pharma to offer a short relieve which ensures that a person will take antidepressants for as long as the doctor tells them (probably until they get ruined, unless they decide to stop), therefore filling yet again the accounts of big pharma corporations, nothing different than how they exploit most of people's diseases for money.

Therefore the only way to "heal" from depression is to identify its root cause and eliminate it. A person that is depressive because of extreme poverty, will certainly be able to eliminate depression if they manage to take themselves out of poverty (in which case depression will likely dissapear by default, without having to do anything else), a person that is depressive because of a physical disease they are suffering from, will heal if they manage to heal the disease, a person that has been abused might heal from depression by taking revenge on the abuser. Or if this doesn't work, hypnosis might be required to program the subconscious mind to not be affected anymore by an issue that has already been solved, or that happened in the past and cannot be solved anymore. You might be asking why not using hypnosis to program the subconscious mind to just eliminate the state of depression one is facing, irrespective of the cause, so by the time they wake up (or after multiple attempts), the depression state will be "artificially lifted". This might work to an extent, if it doesn't backfire somehow, however this doesn't address the root cause of the depression, which will still be active and might still manifest in other ways. Also it is the right of any person who suffered a wrongdoing from another person that caused depression to seek justice, this is a more ethical and healthy way of adressing this type of depression.

The main point is that there are no physical conventional treatments to heal a psychological condition, it requires working with the conscious and subconscious mind to find and address the cause from the root, so once fixed it shouldn't cause any emotional or psychological damage again.

I was shocked how some people I know are using xanax casually, most of them are womens

I've recently read that doctors/scientists found out that depression is not caused by chemical imbalances, basically this invalidates the whole antidepressant approach.

 

[High Priestess Lydia Coventina]

A lot of people's depression is caused by people not having true spirituality and purpose in their lives. We were created to be spiritual, yet have been ignoring it for centuries and lifetimes.

People living pointless lives, working at pointless jobs, having pointless relations with others. Those who have some sense of awareness know this is not right, but they have depression because they don't have the JoS and correct meditations, and no real purpose in their lives.

 

[Bemot Tenebras]

Depression at this point is almost cultural. I've always been mentally strong but one thing that I believe will impact me is gonna be aging. So Im gonna try and reverse aging with meditation. The time seems to be now since the shift in world events is gonna be in the next decades and also the welcoming of our Gods again.

Depression is not 'being depressed'. It's a complex medical condition and a very serious one. I know people who had and have a perfect life (WHATEVER people call perfect those days) and they are still suffering from depression.
