Depression is a silent killer. Even people who smile the brightest could have the worst episodes of depression. This is why it’s important to spot early signs of depression as they develop in oneself and others, according to Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe. Over 17 million Americans experience some sort of depression every year, and it can result in a painful life filled with isolation and suffering. Besides medication for those who are clinically depressed, certain practices in Sufism can help people suffering from depression.

According to Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, depression comes from loss space. This occurs when people lose a meaningful part of their life where they focused on prior to the loss. You may not realize it, but you are driven by meaning. It’s what gives purpose in life. This brings you to the first step of healing depression. When the core energy that drives your purpose gets frozen or blocked, this is where you experience depression. The first step is to recognize that blockage, and the next step is learning how to unblock it.
Unblocking the energy that gives you meaning is, of course, done on a person-to-person basis. The causes of depression vary from person to person. Once you find the main cause of this blockage, unblocking it takes a great deal of hopefulness. What’s difficult in this two-step process is finding the root of the problem and how you interpret it as an individual. According to Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, these are often buried deep into the subconscious. And by using God’s light, you can transform your hopelessness into connections to love, life, compassion, and even trust.
