This post will look at some duas we can make to improve our mental health and reduce our stress, depression, and anxiety. <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">duas for depression<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Depression is a mental health illness which can severely impact one\u2019s quality of life. Depression is among the most painful and difficult of all human experiences. It robs those who have it of energy, interest, and the will to make things better. It brings with it a profoundly negative view of the self, the world, and the future. During depression it seems as though nothing can change, as though you will never get better. We are all susceptible to periods of depression at certain points in our lives and that is normal. Temporary case of the blues \u2013 something we all experience \u2013 has nothing to do with real depression. True depression is not the blues, sadness or even grief. Depression is a treatable mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>When the symptoms of depression last for more than a few weeks, please seek help from a professional. Symptoms can include some or all the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sleeping too little or too much<\/li>\n<li>Have gained or lost weight<\/li>\n<li>Be highly agitated or sluggish and inert<\/li>\n<li>Be extremely sad or very bad-tempered or both<\/li>\n<li>Loss of interest in the pleasures of life, work, family and friends<\/li>\n<li>Unable to concentrate and make decisions<\/li>\n<li>Negative, anxious, trapped, unable to act<\/li>\n<li>Despairing, guilty and unworthy<\/li>\n<li>Loss of energy<\/li>\n<li>Suicidal \u2013 expressing thoughts and sometimes making plans<\/li>\n<li>Feeling of emptiness<\/li>\n<li>Unexplained aches and pains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For individuals experiencing a period of grief, depression, anxiety, and stress, triggered by unforeseen situations, these duas may help by reminding us of Allah\u2019s Might, Power, and instilling in us a sense of hope.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are struggling with depression, the duas for depression mentioned in this article are to be taken as additional spiritual treatment, along with any prescription medication and\/or counseling. It is essential that depression and other mental health concerns be treated by a professional.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Dua # 1: For ease<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>When you find things going tough, recite this dua as much as you can.
