Depression
If you are one of the 13 million people who are suffering from depression, try yoga. Is life becoming too heavy for you? Your alarm clock rings, and then you press the pause button to return to the only place you love – it’s the bed. Do you realize that you are wasting your life to sleep?
The things you love in life suddenly collapse, and you feel like you can not patch this moment again. When you feel down, you separate yourself. If you are a person suffering from depression, you will feel very lonely, but you do not know that you are sharing the disease with more than 13 million people around the world. Some of the world’s famous artists have been suffering from depression for some time in their lives, or some are still suffering from it and trying to cope with the disease at some level. People with depression often use tranquilizers to help them maintain their psychological work, releasing urges, but that is not a good solution.
Rather than helping relieve depression, it only adds to the depression. Patients will feel disoriented instead of feeling bored, they become almost insensitive, act like a robot, perform the tasks necessary for their existence, no motivation in life. And scientists have proven that regular yoga can help. A person with depression usually has a hard time trying to focus.
Depression takes away all the fun in life and makes you feel lonely. Depression creates a fence that gets you stuck in your vicious thoughts. Yoga helps to release spirit and takes you to a quiet paradise. You do not necessarily have to be completely flexible in the yoga world. If you want to use an alternative to sedative therapy, try yoga for a month, and see what it can do for you. You lose nothing if it does not help make you happy, at least it will help improve your body.
