My cousin is in serious depression after major tragedies. Can someone help?

Question

My first cousin is in a very serious depression adue to some major tragedies in her life. Her father died of Blood Cancer. Her marraige failed because of horrible spouse and in-laws and her only son was taken away from her. Medical Treatments don't seem to be working! I believe she needs spiritual healing and hope and courage to face life. Is there any councellor or Guru who could help her come out of the traumas that she has been living under.

Answer 1

Yes, I know Someone Who can help her, if she will trust Him.
He's very good at dealing with cases of depression, and He doesn't charge a dime for His services, He makes house calls, and He is always available. I can recommend Him persoanally, because He has helped me deal with some serious tragedy in my own life. At first, I blamed Him, so my therapy was long and difficult. Of course, dealing with this kind of depression does take time, so your cousin and the people who love her will just have to be patient and trust the Physician.
His Name is Jesus.

Answer 2

Such things do happen for everybody in their life time. This is not end of your life and the life goes on. Remember there is a light at the end of a tunnel. So, it is useless to worry about what ever has happened and carry on with her life as if nothing has happened. It is very difficult but she has to practice this. Meet new friends, join some sports activity, avoid drinks, drugs, etc. be cheerful and active. Please let me know which way I can help. I have helped a lot of people to come out of such trauma and they are all smiling and very successful.

Having a "spiritual base" will probably help, but only if she is open to it. As somebody who has dealt with depression, I know that you can only truly get better if you really want to. I know it sounds strange, but often, even if you think you want to get better, you have to come to terms with actualy letting go of all the pain, hurt, and misserablness, and strive towards healing.

I would not however, encourage her to look to religion as her only way out. Relying on one thing, even religion, can be dangerous. And it won't be some automatic miracle cure, like if she asks Jesus into her heart, she won't just "get better." Healing takes time.

Do you go to church? If so I would talk to my church and see what sort of counceling services they offer. If it doesn't, and or you don't go to church, I would contact a local church. If you have any calvary chapels in your area, many of those offer counceling.

If she is truly clinically depressed, she may need some inpatient therapy. Especially if she is having thoughts of hurting herself, and definitly if she already has. And if the treatments she is currently doing aren't working, tell her to research others, or maybe you could do it for her. There are thousands of anti depressants out there, and not every single one will work for every person. I know from experience getting balanced onto meds can take time. But don't let her get fooled into thinking the meds will be a miracle cure. Like I said before healing takes work. Just popping a pill won't undo the pain that has happend and make it go away. All they do is help you to be balanced, and deal with what has happend.


Like I said before, I do have experience both dealing with my own depression, and dealing with my mothers. If you want to talk further about this please don't hesitate to e-mail or IM me.

Please hear the lectures of H.G.Srila Prabhupad.
Also can visit the Hare Krishna Temple and talk to the temple president.
It would help immensly if you request the temple president to make arrangements to stay in the temple and attendant the programs? Not only that one must enquire the philosophy. That Enquiry is a must. Beginning with Why? Why am I suffering? What is my nature? What is the problem of life?

Whatsoever please keep in mind a place of worship means to associate and ask questions with transcendental ones. In church the priest must be transcendental, not only confessions but also enquiries about God is important. Hearing the messages of God.

Similarly if you go to a temple hearing the subject matter of God is important, His past-times.

Always hear the messages of God slowly you will cultivate the taste to hear again and again.

Answer 5

If your cousin is motivated to seek healing and is willing to delve into her spiritual side, I recommend an Elijah House course or Elijah House certified prayer minister. We can't change what happened to us but we can change our outlook and learn God's perspective on our situation. The tragdies she has suffered are not her fault but she may be wearing more of the blame than is truly hers, certianly she is not to blame for cancer, etc. With a caring person who is no-condemning, she may be comfortable enough to share her deepest fears, then she can get recieve help.

Answer 6

I know of a company called http://www.circle2corner.com. They are now under rennovation but can always help you with not only the phycho treatment of love / advice but also of arranging a spritual trip to India which will definately help in healing the person.

Answer 7

I hope she doesn't believe in "God". If she doesn't that's good. She needs to start reading some books on Eastern philosophy. All the "God" worship books are stealing the ideas anyway, so if she is a "God" worshipper she should just go to the source.

Answer 8

you should tell her that at her age each and every female has some insecurities abour her body photo and that noone if proper. there's a internet website i tips and it truly is called Dove campaign for elegance and it has some large videos and assistance. even as many of the individuals finally outgrow this section and learn a thanks to settle for them as who they're, now and again it truly is risky even as human beings concentration too a lot on outdoors elegance than on their inner characteristics. i'd tell her she is efficient and tell her things you want about her

Answer 9

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

http://harunyahya.net/popup/Download.php?WorkNumber=256&Format=pdf

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
