Step 1 - Confirm

Many patients come to me and say that, "I am depressed". I completely understand this state of mind. However, I would suggest you to first confirm whether you have depression or not.


There are many cases where it may seem that you have depression but once you conduct the depression test, you understand that you do not have it. You may visit a psychologist near your location and confirm your depression status.


You may also find some psychologist online and find out the status of your depression. Another way to confirm is to also check out via online depression test. Before you jump into any antidepressant I advise you to do your check up first.

Step 2 - Confidence

Once you confirm your depression status, it is time for you to uplift your confidence. Without confidence it will be difficult to not only overcome depression, but also lead a wellbeing life.


Confidence is the key for a successful living. If you remember Mahabharat one of the brothers of Pandav named Arjun entered into depression and that too on the battle field when the war was about to begin.


Arjun had great confidence. He had fought many wars. However, in this particular war he was depressed. Though he had confidence, he felt helpless. He was sad. Shri Krishna his mentor, guide and counsellor helped him to regain his confidence. They had a long dialogue and that is what we all know now as Bhagavad Gita.


If you read chapter 1 of Bhagavad Gita you will know entire status of Arjun. All symptoms of depression were there in him. This chapter is called Vishad Yog. One of the meanings of Vishad is depression. However, when you add the element of Yog to it, then depression is transformed.


At times it is observed that saints and spiritual seekers enter into depression. Now you may question depression the spiritual sign of enlightenment? Yes there is a possibility.


Therefore, regain your confidence at least to a level where you tell yourself that no matter what "I will come out of depression. I have confidence in me that I can overcome depression." When you declare this type of decision in your mind, it becomes a strong affirmation which will help you to come out of depression.

Step 4 - Process

In my 25 years of experience I have come across 1000s of people. I have observed that majority of the people want some or the other ready made solution. Hence, they take short cuts in life.


Whether it is about health, wealth or relationships, when you take short cuts you are bound to enter into difficult situation. You will face major problems in life when you adopt short cut.


Hence, process comes handy. Process oriented thinking helps not only in finding right solution, but also a timely solution. Every day new information comes to you but it depends on how you process that information in your brain and what you derive out of it.
