We've discussed various spiritual and emotional, even environmental causes of depression, but what if it is nothing more than that you are tilted at an angle?

Yes, physically. Just rolling over in your sleep in bed can cause misalignments in your spine. You might not even notice that you begin to list to one side while you sit watching TV or at your work desk. It creeps up on you gradually, until someone sees you walking across the room and says, "Are you limping?"

You might respond, "Well, I do have this strange back ache when I'm on my feet any length of time...."

In the same way, you might not have noticed the depression that crept up at the same time. Not until it begins to hinder your work.

There are a number of physical factors that bring on depression;
hormonal changes,
imbalance in adrenal glands production,
thyroid problems,
lack of deep sleep,
chronic illness,
post partum depression after child birth,
and some medications lead to unwanted sadness too.

Even if your sugar and fibre intake is off-kilter, you will experience mood changes.

It's enough to throw up one's hands in despair, isn't it? Depression gets us coming and going in every direction. But the truth is that for many of these causes the cure is fairly simple.

Get your spine aligned by a chiropractor, get more sleep, bring your diet into balance, and take some supplements, particularly the B12 vitamin.

Try magnesium too.

My Uncle Isbrand said when Uncle George was getting all confused, "Give 'em magnesium. That'll make a gentleman of him again." I've experimented a bit with supplements, and now believe he is right.

In our current culture in Canada and the USA, you are responsible for finding these nuggets of information yourself. When depressed, it is hard to get motivated sometimes, but if you exert just some effort, and ask knowledgeable people, perhaps starting in a health food store, you'll get answers.

Keep asking questions of God too. Ultimately, He can lead you to the right sources, and supplies, and the wisdom you need to get your body and life back in order.

Keep in mind that if we have imbalance in one area, whether spiritual, emotional, mental, or physical, it will create imbalance in the others after a while too. Deal with your depression in a wholistic healing way, and you will have more lasting benefits.
