DEPƧƎЯSED?

This life is a test and we will be tested in those things that we love / desire the most - Our family, relationships, career, health, business etc.

Ibn al-Jawzi said, "If this dunya was not a station of tests it would not be filled with sicknesses and filth. If life was not about hardship, then the Prophets and the pious would have lived the most comfortable of lives…”

Some are able to get through the test and overcome all hardships, but some are just unable to do so. Their life turns upside-down and they start to drown in their sorrows & disappointments – engulfed by sadness, anxiety and depression, they feel helpless and are unable to overcome and move on in life.

People who are going through such emotional chaos, feel as though life is stuck and has come to a stand-still. Initially, they:

•Lose interest in activities that were once enjoyable

•Feel Sad

•Have a sense of detachment from reality

•Feel Hopeless

•Fatigue – Loss of energy

•Changes in sleep schedule

•Have Suicidal thoughts

In today’s scenario, young people are most affected by anxiety & depression, however, no one is immune to this. Irrespective of age, gender, background, faith etc everyone is prone to this.

Did you Know? India is the most depressed country in the world followed by China and USA – WHO, 2018

The Good news is that it is treatable, you can overcome and lead a happy life. The bad news is that due to ignorance many are unaware of the right solutions and due to stigma, many more don’t even seek any help. Instead, during such a desperate state people end up seeking haram means to solve their problem, taking them away from their Lord and worsening their situation.
