Though we seldom see a lot of patients complaining of depression, the incidence of depression is rising due to the economic situation and personal reasons. And the treatment of depression is often inadequate to address the problem. Once the patient wakes up from the anti-depressant drugs prescribed, he/she often dives back to the depressing state if his/her problem had not been solved. More often than not, his problematic situation will be solved on its own even without the patient finding the solution. Suddenly, the future looks bright despite the fact that the problem was not solved. The main ingredient in the sudden change of his psychological situation is ACCEPTANCE of whatever will happen next; no worries, no more anxieties and plain acceptance of whatever the future holds. And this acceptance can always be initiated by going out of the house and finding any distraction from the present situation. The new location like a beach or a mountain perverts your senses and your brain to go back to the problem which you think you can not solve on your own. You have done whatever you can and the problem does not go away. So, by distracting your brain from depression, you go out and find happiness in everything different that you see no matter how trivial it is.
