When the soul is sad
This text is excerpted from the book “Illness as a way”. I think it greatly facilitates the understanding of a disease that seems to be sweeping the globe and often not given the importance it deserves.

If you feel depressed, seek answers and are willing to recognize that this is not your natural state, perhaps I can be of help.

“Depression is a composite concept by a panel of symptoms ranging from depression and inhibition to the so-called endogenous depression with total apathy. Depression is accompanied by the total stoppage, melancholy and a number of bodily symptoms as fatigue sleep disturbances, poor appetite, constipation, headache, tachycardia, back pain, menstrual disorders in women and lower body tone. The suffering depressive guilt and reproaches continually tries to be forgiven. It asks what actually depresses the depression. In response found three themes:

1. Aggressiveness. Earlier we said that the aggression is not conducted to the outside becomes bodily pain. This statement can be completed saying the repressed aggression in the psychic aspect leads to depression. The locked and not externalized aggression is directed inward and converts the sender to receiver. On account of repressed aggression are charged not only guilt but also the numerous somatic symptoms that accompany it, with widespread pain. Elsewhere only say that aggression is a special form of vital energy and activity. Therefore, the repressed fear that their aggressiveness, energy and also represses its activity. Psychiatry is depressed to induce the activity, but that the depression experienced as a threat. The depressed avoids everything which has no public recognition and tries to hide the aggressive and destructive impulses with a blameless life. The self-directed aggression finds its clearest expression in the suicide. In the desire for suicide should always ask who is it really the purpose.

2. Responsibility. Depression is, apart from the suicide-the ultimate form of escape responsibility. The depressed vegetation but does not act, more dead than alive. But despite his refusal to actively deal with life, depression, through the back door of the feelings of guilt, still face the issue of “responsibility”. The fear of taking responsibility is first of all depressions that occur precisely when the patient has to enter another phase of life, for example, clearly in postpartum depression.

3. Resignation, loneliness, aging, death. These four closely interrelated concepts include the last and, in our opinion, most important set of issues. The patient with depression is violently forced to face the pole of death. All living things, such as motion, change, social interaction and communication is caught up into depression and offers the polar opposite of the living: apathy, immobility, loneliness, thoughts of death. The pole of death so strongly manifested in depression, is the shadow of this patient.

The conflict is feared is that both life and death. The active life brings guilt and responsibility and this is what you want to avoid. Taking responsibility also means giving up the projection and accepting one’s loneliness. The depressive personality is afraid of this and, therefore, needs people to cling to. The separation or death of one of these people is often a trigger for depression. One is alone, and you do not want to live alone and take responsibility. One is afraid of death and, therefore, does not recognize the conditions of life. Depression gives sincerity visible disability to live and die. “.

A point to consider is also that most of our elderly, suffer from depression, very understandable in these cases because their fighting capacity is impaired by his many ailments, as well as the lack of future experience. There are often feelings of worthlessness, fear, loneliness and resignation.

From the perspective of Natural Medicine, which treats human beings in a holistic manner, ie, seeing the whole person, we believe that neither can nor should be addressed to the people affected by anxiety or antidepressant chemicals that trick the patient with a false recovery, but advise you to make a profound change in the form of food and natural supplements to bring back the lost balance.
