When All Is Not Well: Depression and Sadness - A Yogic Perspective

Depression is portrayed as a complex condition that encompasses emptiness, misery, and pain, rather than mere sadness. The author, Om Swami, challenges the simplistic notion of "cheering up" and explores the limitations of conventional treatments like anti-depressants. Drawing on ancient Ayurvedic and yogic wisdom, he categorizes depression into three distinct types, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches to healing. Through compelling case studies and insights, readers are invited to gain a deeper understanding of depression and the paths toward recovery.
