The occasional feeling of sadness is something that we all go through every now and again. This is perfectly normal. However, if you find yourself feeling sad, low, weepy or moody frequently or for days on end, for no real reason, then it is time to consider the possibility that you may suffer from depression.

Anxiety and depression are two very serious illnesses that affect not only emotions but can also the physical health of people who are experiencing. These debilitating conditions are recognised as the top cause of non-fatal disability among the Australian population and one of the worst parts about it is that less than half of those affected by depression or anxiety receive the necessary medical care.

Depression Signs and Symptoms

People who are suffering from anxiety or depression often also suffer from a chronic lack of energy or the will to do something. They will also lose interest in things that they previously enjoyed doing. Often people will cut off communications with their friends and family.

What Causes Depression?

In some cases, depression may be a result of an imbalance in the chemicals that are required for normal brain functions. No matter what the cause is, depression affects the individual with feelings of emptiness, worthlessness and sadness. In some extreme cases, the dark thoughts may lead to thoughts of suicide.

Ayurvedic Treatment

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system that works to remove the underlying cause of health issues. Ayurveda belies that a lack of awareness of one’s true inner self can lead to depression. Deeply held hurt and pain and negative emotions from the past that have not been resolved tend to deplete the natural energy of mind and this leads to the condition of depression.

Thus, Ayurvedic treatment for depression concentrates on remedies that deal with all of these aspects, to provide a healing result, with no side effects as opposed to modern medicines.
