The main causes of depression....
1. Loving one's own perishable and ever changing body
2. Trying to look like teenager despite the advanced years
3. Refusing to love/ serve/ help anyone else in the world
4. Setting impossible goals for self - not in achievements but in one's physical appearance!
One would rather go for a snake massage to get out of depression
than reach out to the rest of humanity to help them and serve them!
