  • Mental Depression and Nutritional Deficiency
    Mental depression may be due to nutritional deficiency, such as magnesium deficiency, caused by chemicals in foods and the environment. Eat whole foods and stay away from sugar and all processed foods, which are loaded with chemicals, additives, preservatives, and food colorings, among others. These toxic chemicals may cause abnormal functioning in your neurotransmitters, resulting in mental depression.
  • Hormones And Your Depression
    Depression may be caused by hormonal changes, in particular in women during different stages in their lives. Estrogen is critical to mental health because they are responsible for optimum functioning of your neurotransmitters. Other hormones, such as thyroid hormone and testosterone, may contribute to depressive episodes. Other factors, such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, and the environment all play some role in developing depression.
  • Depression And Your Thinking
    Thought discipline is an effective way to deal with depression. Change the way you think about yourself through self-knowledge and intuitive wisdom to make a significant change in your life. Depression is no more than distorted thinking due to the obsession of the self, the attachment to material things, and the unwillingness to accept the pleasant as well as the unpleasant things in life.
  • Depression And The Oriental Health
    According to the Oriental medicine, depression is related to liver "qi" (internal life energy). Unlike Western medicine, the Oriental approach emphasizes the physical rather than the psychological aspects of the disease. The Oriental health uses diet, exercise, and acupuncture to treat the causes of depression, while the Western medicine uses psychology and medications to treat the symptoms.
  • Depression According To Zen
    According to Zen, depression is a disease of the mind. It originates from human desire which can never be fulfilled due to the transient nature of things in life. The unfulfilled desire creates pain, which is unavoidable. Any futile attempt to avoid the pain only turns it into perpetual suffering, which is depression.
