Do you know someone who has depression? Have you or someone in your family been diagnosed with depression? Even if we are dealing with depression in ourselves or our families, we may not know what it really is. Is it just feeling sad all the time? Why can’t people just snap out of it?
Most people associate depression with a weak mind or a negative attitude. Social stigma is causing the sick to continue suffering alone.
With $80,000,000 lost in loss of productivity and health care for this mental illness, it is important that we remove this social stigma once and for all. Imagine waking up with energy, ready to take on the world. It’s rainy outside but you’re not bothered. A song keeps repeating in your head so you sing out loud as you shower. People would want you around all the time with that kind of joyful energy!
While countless products, remedies, hacks, and lifestyle changes all promise to hold the ‘answer’, only meditation really comes close to actually delivering on that promise.
Getting a book that tells you all about depression and anxiety is the way to really understand the nature of the condition as well as how to treat it. Anxiety and Depression 101 is that book.
