In a recent study published in Nature, researchers used advanced brain imaging techniques to explore how certain brain networks differ in people with depression. They discovered that a specific brain network, known as the “salience network,” was on average twice as large in individuals with depression compared to healthy individuals. The salience network plays a key role in processing rewards and deciding what deserves attention, and this expansion could help explain some unique mental and emotional features of depression.

Another brain fugue from the people who thought the lobotomy was also a nice way of fixing depression.
If you are depressed try Bhakti Yoga where you sing, dance, praise and pray all your brain's left and right hemispheres will hum with joy! Go to church, temple of the mosque. Reach out to God and God will engage you with joy. Tell the scientists to fuck off and eat dog shit because they are always trying to negate the Supreme Godhead.
HARE KRISHNA!

Thanks for telling me :)
Science is going through lots of phases, with dark points episodes in its history, I completely agree. But ultimately, I believe lots of these episodes are self-correcting.
As for depression, I have a very religious family member who gets a lot from engaging in this spiritual path. However, her life took a turn for the better when she found the right medication to fight the negative thoughts that were hard-wired in her brain from years of abuse. Spirituality-only was not enough in her case. This medication is not for everyone, but I know for a fact that for some people, it does help. The good outweighs the side-effects.

The Scientific method and science itself have been separated a long time ago. The medical industry is just that an industry and it's also a church and not a good one. The faith is that enough manipulation will reveal the truth but the truth has already been revealed but it has been forgotten or usurped due to the gains of ignorance.
Medication cannot compete with meditation. There are methods of deprogramming abused people. There is also a real thing called God that will go to anyone who needs help. We suffer due to our past actions in this life and previous lives. Life is a continuum. Matter is a lesser energy. Materialists are just atheists and atheism literally means, "without light". Matter blocks light. But matter is made up of light. Wave lengths are part of the energy and this is why chanting is so powerful. EVEN IF YOU CHANT INCORRECTLY BUT WITH THE LOVE OF DESIRE TO DO SO CORRECTLY you will receive the benefit of the Supreme Godhead.
When you learn about transcendental pleasure and love you kind of think, "Oh, this is nonsense and meant to gain wealth or power." At first any logical person will think this. But upon investigation you will realize that the work is so original and it has been copied over and over that maybe the plagiarism is meant to gain power while the origin is open source and waiting investigation. The Vedas are absolutely original. A great example is the knowledge that Cow Dung is antiseptic. Why? How do you know this? Scientist investigate and find out that it in fact is. That means that a cow living is more valuable than a dead one. Cow's milk is also unpasteurized a miracle food. Why?
We are here to serve God. We are the partners in this great play. We serve whether we realize this or not. But in service we find sanity and peace and the illness of materialism ceases to encumber our mental wealth.

Whatever rocks your boat :)
What works for you may not work for me. What works for me may not work for you.
All good, we are masters of our own actions. That is, if one believes in freewill, but that's a discussion for another time.

We have free will because God has recognized that being alone is boring. God loves our personalities because they are parts and parcels of God. Solipsism is based on relative morality and it's nothing more than glorified materialism. Relative morality leads to very dark corners of the universe. It's the pathway to pain and suffering.
The word Matsya means fish and the word Manu is Sanskrit for the first Man (human). The word Man itself means "hand". Here the Vishnu incarnate helps the first man to escape the great flood. That's what floats my boat and it's thousands of years old.

Furthermore when it comes to human tracking time we have done so for two Great Years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Year
That means that the knowledge and science of humanity is not thousands of years old but 50,000 years old. We are in the Age of Kaii and ignorance is the par for the course.

Which medication? Do you remember

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @south_korea_ln 29 Oct
Abilify. It's also used for schizophrenia, but then it requires a larger dose. For depression, a small dose is usually sufficient.
