 Depression is a mental condition that is becoming increasingly common.  More and more people suffer today from depressed feelings of despondency, apathy and disinterest.   Symptoms of depression often include a mood of hopelessness. Everything seems futile.   Nothing seems worthwhile.

 It’s a mental state that affects people of all ages – from young students to the elderly – in every walk of life.

Many people, who feel constantly depressed, use anti-depressant drugs to help them get rid of depression.

One of the most popular anti-depressants prescribed by doctors is the Fluoxetine drug known as Prozac.   Prozac has proved helpful in treating symptoms of depression.  But, like all drugs, there is always the danger of side effects.

Side effects reported include nausea, digestive problems, insomnia and extreme fatigue.  In a number of cases there have been reports of undesirable sexual side effects.

“You’ve got to have a reason to get up in the morning”.

Why are some people able to wake up in the morning bright and cheerful, ready to start the day with optimism and enthusiasm while others find this so difficult to do?  

Scientific method For Dealing with Depression

When we’re dealing with depression or any emotional pain, we normally think of our waking state of consciousness as a single state of mind. If we’re awake all day, as most of us are, we tend to think of this as one single experience — one state of consciousness. Although we can have many moods and emotions, still we think of it all as only one conscious, waking state.

But the ancient, prehistoric, people who invented the Sanskrit language, had a far different idea. They devised a very scientific formula, describing how the mind works.

The Sanskrit Language splits-up our normal waking state into three separate and distinct states of mind.

The Sanskrit names are: 1. Rajas — 2. Sattva — 3. and Tomas.

The English translation would be: 1. Passion — 2. Goodness — 3. and Ignorance

Accordingly, all emotional pain comes from the states of mind called Rajas and Tomas. Sattva is a pro-active state of mind where emotional pain not exist. And we enter each of these separate and distinct states of mind because of what we’re thinking. Very simply, thinking thoughts of greed and anger produces Rajas. Thinking thoughts of fear and depression produce Tomas.

Then while in Rajas, for example, if our desires are thwarted, the emotional pain from anger or greed results. And while in the state of Tomas, if our state of well being or self esteem are threatened, the emotional pain of fear and depression result.
