Are you suffering from depression?

Hey dude,

I want to talk about an issue most men don't talk to other men
about.

Most of us are too ashamed to talk about it, let alone seek any help
for it.

Yet it affects a staggering number of us guys.

So I'll cut to the chase: I'm talking about depression.

Maybe you've sought help and been diagnosed by a professional, or
perhaps you just know deep down that you're unhappy and something is
wrong with your life but you're not sure what. Perhaps you feel
hopeless for no good reason, or you just can't get motivated, or the
light has simply gone out of your life.

It's a painful place to be.

Psychiatrists will tell you that depression is a "chemical imbalance
in the brain", and they're right.

But that's only half the story. The obvious question to ask is: what
causes the chemical imbalance?

Psychologists argue about nature versus nurture; and they'll
probably keep arguing forever.

Here are two simple answers:
1. Not getting your needs met.
2. Suppressing your emotions.

If you have either or both of these going on for an extended period,
it starts to affect your brain chemistry on a physical level. This
is just your brain's way of alerting you so you can deal with the
underlying problem. That's why it's painful. Like physical pain,
mental pain stops you in your tracks in order to get your attention.

Many of us in western society resort to medication nowadays to make
the pain go away. If that's the route you choose, that's fine. But
be aware that there's a catch: anti-depressants will numb you and
and reduce your motivation to deal with the issues that are stopping
your getting your needs met. They'll also suppress your emotions.

Well isn't that interesting? That's exactly what caused the problem
in the first place!

So here's a question for you:

Do you really think you'd be depressed if you were living the life
of your dreams?

Probably not!

I have another way of looking at depression that's equally valid to
the one your psychiatrist will tell you:

You don't know who you are... yet.

This may sound rather zen when you first hear it, but once you start
the journey of discovering your true self, it makes total sense.
You're depressed because you're missing something. A key ingredient
of self-awareness. And if I was to summarise that ingredient in one
word, it would be:

Confidence.

I'm not talking fake-it-till-you-make-it here. Chances are you've
already tried that. I'm talking deep, inner confidence. When you
have it, you know deep down that you have the capacity to get your
needs met. You also know how to master your emotions so that they
guide you in life, instead of controlling and inhibiting you.

This is not a journey for the faint-hearted. It means taking full
responsibility for your life, dealing with some tough issues from
the past and learning to live in the present. You probably also have
a backlog of unexpressed emotions to release before that chemical
imbalance settles down.

If you need medication as a stop-gap measure to get you through, by
all means take it. And if you're already on medication, definitely
do not stop taking it just because you've read this.

Start taking action instead. The journey ahead may be challenging,
but it's also incredibly fulfilling and tremendously rewarding and
you come alive, perhaps for the first time. It can also be great
fun.

But it would help to have someone to guide you, wouldn't it? Someone
who's been there himself.
