At The Roots of Depression

  Millions of people are battling the silent enemy we now refer to as depression.  What is depression and what is the cause?  There are many antidepressants on the market today which are routinely prescribed by the allopaths who become excited over the latest drug commercial on TV.  Then, these allopaths do what they do best; write a prescription.  One common side-effect of most antidepressants is the unusual thoughts of suicide, especially amongst children and teenagers.  Imagine treating a child with an antidepressant, going to work and thinking everything is better, the child is happy; after all, he is taking his `medicine` that the doctor prescribed.  Upon arriving home after a long day, a suicide note is discovered at the kitchen table.  Well, that was a bit harsh, I got carried away but, wasn’t the antidepressant supposed to make the depression go away?  Everything was supposed to be better and everyone was supposed to be happy now…what happened?

Drugs do not treat the cause of depression because drugs are not meant to take emotions into account.  Drugs treat the human body as if it were a robot; to suppress hormones, neurotransmitters, and other chemicals.  This will not make the problem go away because depression isn’t always about overactive glands or neurotransmitters.  Sometimes, drugs successfully mask the symptoms, at least for a short time.  The symptoms usually return with a vengeance because the drug failed to address the cause of depression.  Depression is usually caused by suppressed negative emotions.  This mental and emotional pain from the past is buried so deeply that it is no longer acknowledged and is soon forgotten.  It may be forgotten, but it is still there causing grief and sadness in the present moment.  Pain that was bottled up so long ago is usually the unseen enemy that is causing so much sadness now. 

Some of these depressed people adopt a highly positive attitude which helps to mask the pain underneath.  They put a big smile on their face, they laugh, and they joke…but they never cry because of the pain that may be uncovered or, they may not cry simply because it is easier to bottle up the pain and forget about it.  Ideally, pain should be forgotten by releasing it or reacting to it in a healthy way by crying or venting the anger with a punching bag, for example.  Pain should never be bottled up because it always causes problems in the future. 

These people pretend they’re happy and they usually do such a good job putting on their positive costume that they usually fool themselves along with everyone else.  Once they don their positivity, they never take it off, well, most of them don’t.  A positive attitude is great, but if it isn’t real, if there is a pool of negativity buried deep beneath the positivity, then the two conflicting energies will cancel each other out.  Positivity must radiate out from the core of your being and in order to do that, the pain underneath must be confronted.  The pain usually originated sometime during childhood and childhood memories must be mentally relived in order to identify the pain.  It takes a great deal of strength to relive this pain and to react emotionally, usually by crying it out.  Anyone can bottle up the pain, but it takes strength to release it.  This type of depression fits the personality associated with a homeopathic remedy called Natrum Muriaticum which is made from table salt.  A high potency Natrum Muriaticum, like 1M or 10M is used to address this type of personality.  Many people have had success with the `Release Technique`.  I do not sell this program nor have I yet to experience it but, it may be worth looking into.
