Hello, read this somewhere. What do you think? This is the best way. The easiest way for one to conquer over depression is to see it in a positive way as the stepping stone to unlimited happiness. Depression is actually the special mercy of the Almighty to help us detach ourselves from the illusory so-called enjoyment of this material world, which entangles us in the repetition of birth and death. According to the Vedic culture human life actually begins when we inquire, "Why am I suffering?" So to have a life without any suffering would in this sense be more of a curse than it would be a blessing. So we should feel blessed if depression comes, taking it as an impetus to become solidly connected on the transcendental platform. In the material world there are many techniques for conquering over depression. But all of them are more or less a waste of time. If one wants to truly conquer over depression once and for all, he or she must fully surrender at the feet of the Almighty and thus attain an eternal existence, full of bliss, and full of knowledge. Am I right my friends? DR.B.SARAF PhD.

Perhaps it can be a stepping stone. I have had severe depression for several years and it has caused me to delve deeper than I think I would have before. I think that all people suffer in one way or another. From the over dramatized to the pathetic and relentless. I do agree that hardship can be the impetus to finding a higher self. Anything that helps us delve deep within ourselves to learn more about life and in doing so more about ourselves.

Yes, you're absolutely right! Depression really comes once in a while. I guess it's just a part of our lives. As the saying goes, "everything in life has it's own purpose". Godspeed....
