PERSONAL SPECIAL...Inferiority complex to Chronic Depression



 Depression over longer period may leave scars on your mind which can never be healed. The major depression disorder can become fatal in case not taken seriously by people surround the patients. In America out of 60% suicide cases are due to such chronic depressions. Therefore it is very important to recognise symptoms of depression at really early stage. 

  I am sure none of you might have considered 'Inferiority complex' can lead to 'chronic depression' in long term. The journey stagewise is

Inferiority complex ------> Crashing of Self-esteem -------> Depression----------> Chronic Depression 

  So how to overcome inferiority complex at really early stage? You know it's really case specific. But some of the important methods are discussed here. 

1) Share - It's very important to share your feelings with your closer ones. When you discuss problems with your family, friends, spouse; you definitely feel much better and sometimes even get a solution for the same. Interestingly many a times other people can easily solve your problems as they are viewing it as a outsider and for them it doesn't seems to be big enough. Experienced individuals, teachers,parents are always capable to guide you if you share your problems with them in first place. 

2) Accept things as they are. - Try to come out of the dream world. Watch reality. Understand that every human being have some strengths and some weaknesses. So don't feel shy about your weaknesses. You can not convert your weakness into strength if you don't accept it as your weakness first.

3) Concentrate on your strengths : - When you are aware of your strengths and ready to concentrate on them. You hardly get time to worry about your weaknesses. Specially when you compare yourself with someone else you don't notice their weaknesses as they have done the same thing, used their strengths and hide their weaknesses under their confident faces. So where comes the question of being inferior of any human being?

4) Appreciate others: - As discussed earlier in previous posts, we should have sportsman spirit to digest our failure that comes when you learn to appreciate the good things about your opponents with great heart. Understand that tables can turn any time if you don't  quit and work hard on your improvement rather than considering yourself inferior to others.

5) Arts :- Many of us have passion about some arts.But we hardly follow it when we grow. Arts have high healing power.Music is can easily change your mood. Those who know painting can easily forget their worries in the colors of canvas. The live artists when gets applauded by audiences for their work; gain lots of confidence and their morale boosts. 

6) Nature : - If you love nature; nature loves you back. Travelling is an essential medicine on all sorts of depressions and low moods. When you change your surroundings for some time and get out of everything for some days automatically your mind gets refreshed. Vacations in exotic places, visits to sanctuaries, or hill stations, etc. can keep your mental and physical health in good conditions. 

7) Meditation : Spirituality; makes your mind stable. Helps you get inner peace and teaches you to live in present. Meditation has power to heal most of your mind problems. 

8) Philanthropy & Social work : - It's a really great moral booster in any situation. Helping other people who need your helps increases your self -esteem. It makes you feel good. It gives you satisfaction and helps you to gain your confidence again. Specially it gives you altogether new vision to see the world.

9) Medications : Anti depressants are available on depression but we must first try to come out of  low moods and depression naturally without any medicines by trying some of the above solutions.
