Add as a preferred source on Google

Depression is a terrible state of mind that drains us of all life. Science describes depression as low mood and distaste in activities of the day-to-day life. But the actual problem is much more serious than that.

As humans we all go through ups and downs in our lives and our mood changes accordingly. Most of us have had days where we have felt low and then, when happier times come, we feel better.

However, a person who suffers from depression will fell low for months together. They would feel worthless, guilty, angry, ashamed and empty. Activities that once filled them with joy would turn dull and boring.

They would develop eating disorders and may overeat or lose their appetite all together. Decision making, concentrating and remembering become hard tasks. They may also suffer from excessive sleeping, insomnia, fatigue, and systemic problems as a result of depression. People may also contemplate suicide or may even end up taking their own lives.

Society often trivializes depression and thinks that the person can just snap out of it. There are people that think depression is a psychological illness or that the person is 'mad'. Love and support can help the depressed person come out of it and lead a healthy and happy life.

One of the ways to calm the mind and escape from the clutches of depression is the path of spirituality. When the mind is set on the supreme power and the heart believes that no matter what the almighty will lead the way, one will never fall prey to such disorders. Given below are a few mantras that will help remove depression.

How To Chant The Mantras

Go through the mantras and choose the one that sounds the best to you. Cleanse yourself and sit in a calm and silent place. This can be the pooja room or any place you feel safe and secure. Chant the mantras of your choice with as much concentration and faith as you can muster. At first, it will be difficult. But if you persist, you will see remarkable changes in yourself.

Your concentration will improve and you will be filled with positivity. You may later choose to graduate to meditation or yoga, which will further fasten your recovery process from depression.
