The Cause of Depression
I’m not a therapist, so don’t take my word for it.
But here’s a hunch based on what I’ve seen worked (for me, and my wife).
Depression is a refusal to accept the truth that happened, combined with the view that there’s no more hope.
Which means, solving a depressive case would require two things:
- The acceptance of what is being rejected
- Allowing the depressed to perceive or create hope in a hopeless situation
Sounds tough.
But it’s not impossible. More on how in the next two articles.
