as described by Guruji RAM DEV?is there any proof for it?did any one get the benefit out of it.?Serious answers with scientific explanation are appreciated.Thanks
I am sufferin from mild SAD please help

Answer 1

You already know what the solution is. When you feel the episode coming on do what you already know is best and works well for you. Getting more oxygen to your brain through Pranayama es excellent. The proof can only come through your own efforts to overcome and dominate yourself enough to avoid it or reduce its effect within you. Otherwise medications I guess.

Answer 2

I defiantly think it helps, for me it was difficult to learn to meditate, (clearing my mind), but with practice I'm better at it, and I find I can change my mood, and a since of pleasantness, (I would not say I can get to actual happiness,wish I could) I started meditating when I took up yoga classes, (I did not even know it was a part of yoga), At first I found meditating more difficult, than stretches, (I'm a bit hyper), so I would practice at home, and found that it helped when I felt overwhelmed, so I beleive it would help with mild depression. Also the has been more than one study that found regular exercise inproved mild depression better than medication, you might want to try both. The scientic explanation is that both, exercise & meditation raises the endorfines (the chemical in our brains, that makes us happy)

Answer 3

Certainly, yes! Meditation, Pranayama, Music therapy, Sat-Sang......generally Yoga practice: all can lead to total cure for depression and unspecified sadness syndrome!Make some good friends, who are also interested, if possible, and do the above things or one or more of them together as a team of friends, you will get quick results, positively. It is scientific, it is logical: because, your physical and mental health are closely related and the above named remedies influence both physical and mental health favourably!

Answer 4

definite and no. i've got faith that melancholy is a organic and organic ailment, brought about by using an imbalance of chemical compounds interior the innovations. In concept, as quickly as the chemical compounds interior the innovations are re balanced (by using giving a guy or woman, to illustrate antidepressants) they are cured. although, there are lots of people who in no way get well. they could have short classes of remission, yet finally they consistently finally end up back in wellness center, time and time back. So some human beings get completely cured; others do no longer. maximum individuals in basic terms study to stay with it relatively is going to easily. we don't relatively understand adequate approximately how the innovations works to be waiting to declare for confident. wish that helps :)

Answer 7

Hi Red Rose, u have already seen an epic which r probably copied from some wiki or something like that. Now listne to the experience of a real patient. Depression is a severely painful disease. All the pains are physical, like feeling severely tired without any reason at all, racing thoughts, being frightened of early mornings........... How can racing thoughts be severely painful? I can't be explain that, because only 30% of humankind suffers from it and those who suffers r usually recognised as weak people or lunies and it is customary to laugh at them. So there is no abstraction(name) for this severely painful feeling.

What should u do?

1>Go to a good psychiatrist immediately. There are variety of depressions with different symptoms. Early and correct diagnosis is very important. Go to a psychiatrist who has passed very recently, say 2/3 years. The old and established ones practice outdated theories and medicines, and are usually reluctant about patients because they r already too bored of their profession and too assured of their earning. U may try NIMHANS Bangalore. or PGI Chandigarh.

2>Consult several psychiatrists to ensure that the diagnosis is correct. This is very important. The first 3 psys I consulted, diagnosed me wrongly as a patient of anxiety depression while I am in fact a bipolar and that ruined my life. Mind it they all were reputed psys with roaring practices.

3> When u know the name of ur disease, ask the psys for a list of the symptoms of the disease. Consult other patients, self help
groups, internet, forums to know in detail about the symptoms.
Then think out your exact pattern. The docs can't tell u those because the fools themselves do not know those. The recognition of the symptoms is what going to save u in the long run.

4>Never trust psys rosy pictures about medicins. Ayurveda simply doesn't work. Allopathy works (as I have heard from patients of ist world country) but never when prescribed by INDIAN DOCTORS (PSYS). I haven't seen a single Indian patient who's leading a moderately comfortable life. Because INDIAN DOCTORS do not know anything about psychiatry not even the right doses. All they do is hits and misses and lots of tall talks.
I have same experiences with 6 INDIAN DOCTORS all from premier INDIAN institutions and each treated me atleast for 2 years without slightest improvement. The disease always took its
own course.

5> Be very careful about side effects of medicines. They may be horrible and may ruin ur life. Sometimes the side effects r so very similar to the symptoms that u never know what r u suffering from.

6>Force the doc to give u lists of side effects of each medicine he prescribes. That's his responsibility, at least in civilized lands.

7>Force the doc to change a medicine if u suspect a side effect. If he denies smash his nose. He can't do u anything legaly or ethicaly since u r the person who is suffering either from pains of disease or from side effects. His duty is to cure u, relieve u of ur pain, not to force u to take medicines, nor to fool u with rosy pictures of imminent cure after the brief period of suffering from side effect.

8>Always ask the doc to specify how long he is going to take to restore u to a moderately normal and painless life and tersely remind him to follow his schedule. Docs in civilized lands give such schedules.

8> Always keep in touch with other patients who r fighting the pains valiantly and discuss ur problems with them, so that u may work out your correct lifestyle to keep the disease at bay.

9> Always reason, never whine and determine that u will lead a dignified life despite all ur agonies.
