I can honestly admit that I drove myself into depression, and it took courage to admit that, but it was my first step in getting out of depression, and learning how to live happily. Thank you Sadhguru! I, and solely I, can direct and am responsible for what happens inside of me.
Okay . I don't want to disrespect your experience . Some people have self curable but most people don't. Noone has fun in locking themselves in a room thinking about death .
Even me!!!! Same thing here!!!! I drove myself into depression!!!! I agree that I am indeed responsible for what happens inside me, meaning I should take care of myself. Only you can ruin yourself, and you can heal yourself. BTS ruined me and healed me.
I agree with what he is saying. He's not saying what's happened to you to make you depressed is your fault, but he is saying if you don't wake up and realize you're in a mess, then you can't fix it.... totally agree with that
Another person who wrote in depth into the aspects of ego, pain and depression is Eckhart Tolle. We're fortunate that we get all this understanding so easily now. The mind incessantly thinks thousands of thoughts and emotions a day, most of it repetitive and negative. That itself is in fact a disease, because thinking is using us rather than the other way around. The mind cannot be at ease. Just asking people to simply sit and do nothing except eat, exercise, sleep and stay silent for just 2 days is enough to make most people crazy - that lack of ease is indeed disease. I know, I'm trying. That girl, by saying that "I'm entitled to my sadness", is investing too much into her emotion - and that's the very mistake Sadhguru talks about. It is only this when it goes so deep that it actually imprints on your brain and genetic structure that it becomes pathological. They differ only in degree. Many people who are clinically depressed have had a history of negative thought patterns for many years before their minds make it permanent. In fact most of our insanity is simply hidden by the dense physical body even in apparently 'normal' people. As Sri Yukteshwar Giri put it "Observe you thoughts unremittingly for a period of 24 hours, and then wonder no longer at the absence of God".
this is my opinion. i was always tought that anger is a choice. Also saying MY SICKNESS being whatever it possibly could be. MY EMOTION(sadness, anger, depression, rage) means youve already accepted it as part of you. my cold my cancer. youre taking it and owning it as apart of you already and thats it. so it better to say THE cancer, cold, sadness. etc. like its alone. rather then saying MINE and owning it or taking it upon yourself inside. and it becomes your identity. and pretty much you try to protect it after awhile. Entitled to it. so how do you deal wth something you think is a finger, tooth, nose etc. detach or torn. it hurts and is painful and it becomes a void once its gone. you start missing it. and thus begins the cycle. its not the problem thats the problem its the way YOU look at the problem thaat is the problem. what are we gonna replace the void with? negative or positive? right?
Ekhart tolle author of the power of now. His word really take me away his words makes so much sense for me and sadguru words also blow me away i love both❤️
Soo True sadhguru..!!! That "our physical and mental health is our fundamental responsibility. We have to take charge of both at an early age." If this one thing sinks in our heads...most of them will Never choose to be depressed. They will use that situation as a fuel to grow in Life. Thank you Sadhguru for guiding us in every aspect of life🙏
One thing that I found very powerful in dealing with depression is, our surroundings be it people, places or other things. I try to be with people that are happy and have positive attitude, who talk about positive aspects more in life. I found out isolation is one big factor leads to sadness, volunteering helps and a sense of Belonging to something greater generates very powerful energy in us. Overall, here are other things that helped me in my journey towards happier life: - Acceptance -Be around happy/positive people -ditch news/ politics -walks -Anti inflammatory diet ( most of the time) -3-4 day exercise -vitamin D levels -friendship over love ( So called Love 😂) -defining priorities -Gratitude PS: I am still trying, inch by inch, life is a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard ✅😊
Those willing to be honest and face themselves know this is true. Those who want to blame someone else and not take responsibility will choose to be offended by the idea that depression is a choice.
there is something good about being emotional but i agree with you my condition is my responsability blaming others searching outside you just make it darker
He is probably asking people not to ‘normalize’ depression. Most depression is because people are unable to handle the situations they find themselves in.
Actually by understanding and accepting that things do not always go the way you want can make you more relaxed and at ease. Also to understand that depression is not permanent and not trying to get rid of the depressed state when it happens, Simply see it as impermanent and not self can really make a difference in your life.
In simple words, One is responsible for the choices in life and life itself. It doesn't mean we dismiss the misery and sadness or depression, but if we don't take control of ourselves and our life, then that's our choice as well..
Thats what happens when you ask a question but already strongly filled with ur opinions about it and you can't understand what the other person is saying no matter how clear and logical it is...
I absolutely agree! You are in control of how you think and also how you respond to thoughts. If you choose to be depressed it’s because you are trying to force something your way! The natural flow of life does not require force therefore depression would not even be a issue
It is interesting to hear it practically spoken, instead of as an existential shame. Sadness will happen and sometimes we push ourselves over the line and into depression, but if we are patient it will pass. Maybe we sleep some of it off, maybe we write, maybe we get physical exercise, etc. Sometimes it is healthy to pull ourselves out of bed, away from trying to analyze every trauma and "fix it", or push our bodies to their limits, and we just try to be present in this life. We breathe, we watch the animals live their day, we enjoy some tea, and we simply exist and let the feelings pass through their process, rather than fighting ourselves. It's going to happen and sometimes we develop habits that keep us from being present, and instead push us further from sadness and into depression, and that is ok. Let yourself be and remember that you are not your body, you are it's guide, and you may respect the experience your body is going through and comfort it through care.
No, The point should be "everyone has a responsibility to take care of their mental and physical health at the best of their abilities" not "depression is a choice"
..at the best of their abilities...that sounds like you are diminishing people's abilities and power. We have the power to heal ourselves. Noone can save you from yourself.
I was a very anxious child and now I have high anxiety towards life. My family immigrated to Germany and were treated very badly, so my parents thaught me to be very careful, not to trust anyone etc. So now I am taking Prozac. Sadhguru has helped me a lot, I do his meditations and they changed me. Now I am thinking about tapering the medication off. But I am thinking tomyself, If I am born as a very shy and anxious human, is it me who drove myself into that?-as like some people drive themselfes into depression as sadhguru says. Or if I am born like that, maybe I am like those cases which are born depressed, so I dont know wether I should taper them off.
Medication will not cure your shyness, exposure will. Meds can work for a bit but not for long time . I took medication for 6 years . After knowing that my thoughts need to be changed I came out of it . A book called: “feeling good “by Dr David Burns will help you come out of depression.
There is something that sadhguru have mentioned in other video as 'identifying' with self concept. By removing the associating identity to the narrative we create, and view it as it is. No right and no wrong. At the balance range. It takes alot of inner work cultivation to reach this lvl. I have not reach there yet. May you be able to find strength and courage to identify your thoughts and emotions when they arises and watch them. Let them be with no judgment. Namaste
The end goal for assisting someone with Depression / Anxiety is to strive towards making them stronger and more self reliant, yes. However...apathy towards their suffering serves nobody’s best interests. We are all here on earth to become the best possible versions of ourselves. But we do so in order to better reduce the suffering of others. Particularly our family, friends and neighbors. That’s the only worthwhile meaning to Life that I’ve found to be indisputable! That’s how we make a little Heaven on earth
Thank you for this comment. The level of apathy and mockery I see for mental health in this country is astounding. I never expected Sadhguru to be this ignorant about a simple topic. I'm happy to see that there are people who don't mindlessly follow them.
Understand what the person is going through and encourage them to take steps to improve it. If non medical way isn't working then take the medical route for sure. Psychiatric medicine works wonders.
How wise! Experiencing this myself at the moment - we can edge ourselves into depression by choice. We must take responsibility for our physical and mental health.
Sometimes I feel like the luckiest person alive, other times I am very depressed. I find keeping a stable mood for extended periods of time difficult. I did meditation and realized not being aware of your own thoughts and feelings leads to this imbalance. Meaning, the clearer grasp we have on reality, the closer to truth we are, and the closer to truth we are, the happier we are. This is why over indulgence in entertainment leads to depressions because we are leaving ourselves. If when you are bored you sit in silence and monitor your own thoughts, you will be in a better frame of mind than if you ended your boredom by watching tv or a movie. Over stimulation secretes excessive amounts of dopamine from our brains, so that when we stop having so much secreted we fall to a very heavy depression. Limit your stimulation, and focus on yourself. you will be happier.
I am not sure I agree with this. I have suffered from depression most of my life. Also most of my life I preferred to spend my evenings ruminating rather than watching tv or some other form of entertainment. I never felt any better from doing this. These days rather than sit with my thoughts and ruminate I put on a film or watch tv. I am less depressed! I feel more connected with the world around me as I am connecting with others in a way by being part of the way society is. I was causing my own depression by fixating on my problems rather than distracting myself from them.
Yeah i accept that i chose to be depressed but now i am just scared at the very thought of it. Even if something unwanted happens i train my mind to look at it differently and i sail smoother.
yes it is we who allow this state of mind to exist. through understanding all manner of things subside. as a child is sad to see the parent go, but an adult maybe sad the parent went, but now knows why the parent went, and in that the sadness subsides. understanding frees us from all the madness of this world.
Very VERY few people have legitimate chemical imbalances that require medication to fix. Things like bipolar, schizophrenia, borderline, etc. are extremely rare. And for those people Sadhguru and the rest of us truly feel for and hope they get the treatment they need. But the rest of us, going down this road of medicating every little problem or every distressing thought we have will result in the decline of society. Just like our bodies, our minds need to be exercised to become stronger and healthier. If we don't eat well and don't exercise, we get fat and develop numerous health complications because of it. If we don't brush our teeth we get cavities. The same is true for our minds. If we don't exercise our minds, eat well, or get our mental floss, our minds will become unhelathy, out of shape, and full of cavities. Sadhguru talks about this in many of his presentations. More and more young people aren't taught how to exercise their minds and as a result their minds become more and more unhealthy as they get older.
Okay . Telling people how to take care of your mental health is very essential . But sadhguru isn't doing that here exactly . . My friend . what are you saying . Medicating every little problem is declining our society??? What do you define as small Problem ?? . Mental disorders are more common than you think , do research .
The fact is that when depression is here, well installed, it's way too late to even be able to follow any advice.... Then one needs external help either chemically to restore the balance
I once got depressed because I almost caused a road accident. I felt depressed for a few days but I knew that over time it will become normal and it happened like that.
break it down to its simplest form; take some time to consider, depression is only a deeper state of sadness, and sadness is the same as anger. as both are derived from us not getting our way. still like children throwing a tantrum as they didn't get what they wanted. if one wants to know themselves, they first need to know their Father. we are a Spiritual being and all is of the Spirit. we are emotional creatures who let themselves be ruled by their desires. it is our very own desires that destroy us, for we are like children who have yet learned how things work. we have control over it if we can understand what is going on.
So true sadguru, depression anger anxiety and even happiness is a choice we unconsciously made. And when we get conscious about it we can consciously choose too. M saying from my personal experience. Really.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Given these harmful views, it is imperative to reconsider following and listening to someone who perpetuates such dangerous misinformation. A leader who lacks understanding and compassion for mental health issues poses a significant risk to the well-being of their followers. Instead, seek out leaders and sources that provide accurate, supportive, and empathetic guidance. Mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, and it deserves to be addressed with the utmost care and respect. Following someone who does not acknowledge this can lead to further harm and hinder the path to healing and recovery for those in need.
"THE LINE BETWEEN SANITY AND INSANITY IS SO THIN. IF YOU PUSH, PUSH ONE DAY YOU WILL CROSS" 🙏 Then one day we will all cross this crossable line because push-push is all we need to do.
Namaskaram Sadhguru, I completely agree and realise your words. But I don't agree that depression is a choice for people in their childhood. This is because a child neither understand spirituality(which they have without any vocabulary) nor can ignore the pain to acquire materialisitic things around them either by themselves or emotionally. So depression does not become a choice for them. I have been suffering from it unknowingly from my childhood and the stigma, financial pressure, conceptual skill development and age timeline made it more worse day by day.
I realized that we have to take responsibility of our mental and physical healthy mostly. When My crush is sad he drinks more which is a vicious cycle.
Even if you go to a psychologist with your issues, I think all a psychologist would do is clarify, make you aware and maybe give some exercises. But ultimately 'you' do it, 'you' do the things necessary to 'fix' yourself.
We should be determined to be happy and joyful come what may. It is difficult to practice unless we are aware of the situation. Physical health plays a major role. That's where yoga lends a helping hand. Or Simply follow Sadhguru and be joyful.
Depression is a choice. Sadness is a choice. Everything we feel is a choice. If happiness is a choice, sadness is a choice. Yes people have the power to control their own feelings. That is the only thing we control, how we respond.
human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end.”
The lady who said she is entitled to her sadness is at the verge of pushing herself into depression. Keep at it and you'll get there. That is EXACTLY what Kyabje was talking about. But she wouldn't just listen. Your life, lady.
No I disagree . If sadhguru goes deep into every topics why does he deal these topics without depth just because he hasn't experienced it .. I love sadhguru but surely have to disagree . Nasmaste
Depression is a Virtual Labyrinth with (good and bad doors and signposts). One must know and above all accept mental things which are "yin and yang" good bad. If you do not accept the right way Mental runs 1000 times past it in the depression = self-flagellation
Many people say depression is not a choice, because it is an illness. But then again, illnesses are treatable as well. It’s only a matter of time, and free will.
Depression in most cases is caused by thoughts. Thinking negatively. Hopeless thoughts. Without a practice of mediation and being consciously aware of your thoughts, you could drive yourself into depression. It’s all in the mind. You think you are your mind and your thoughts. That is the root of depression.
Reason why some people choose to be depressed is cuz it’s felt at the moment, not only dat you want the feeling that something good will come while depressed but fooling to know it will not. The body react crazy on its own.
In Hindu/Yog concept body is a one continuum,sthul,sukshm and karan.Dysfunction of sthul and sukshm sharir (bodies)cause illnesses and are amenable to corrections.
I am not agree with you for these point because i am 17 year old child and depression is not my choice . i want to focus my studies only and only my studies .but Because of the environment around me, I cannot concentrate on my studies even if I want. my mom dad always fight
Yeah I think this topic needs to be digged more deeper. It seems he is minimizing the effect of environment influences and how parents treat their children. Just like he said in his yoga centre environment is needed to be quiet and silence to provide inner engineering to people. And he has his own way of how to raise and provide to his daughter. What happens outside of us or to us does influence or help build what inside of us. For example how parents talk to their children will become how children talk to themselves. It is true that it's our responsibility to make our mental healthy, but there is also limitation and setback that keep us from building the healthy mental space. I used to know happiness and inner world is determined by myself too when I was younger, but after something happened I went unhappy too. It is our responsibility and it also can be influenced by outside world. My father and mother yelled everyday too.
,many people are use to do,what they dont ,they don't like ,dont know to understand about innerself of it. But they know only to maintain it . Taking the stress ,and make an issues of yourself . Listen to Gurujv ,and do inner engiaring . Its means every person gets peace within you, yourself . The Gawthama budhdda showed the sadana , Do it and go beyond you . Its mistik ,Spirituality . This is only, bean a human and gets the sucses within you .its we call pirinivima . Pranamji ,pranam to all around the world .
break it down to its simplest form; take some time to consider, depression is only a deeper state of sadness, and sadness is the same as anger. as both are derived from us not getting our way. still like children throwing a tantrum as they didn't get what they wanted. if one wants to know themselves, they first need to know their Father. we are a Spiritual being and all is of the Spirit. we are emotional creatures who let themselves be ruled by their desires. it is our very own desires that destroy us, for we are like children who have yet learned how things work. we have control over it if we can understand what is going on.
I think bi polar people in particular do not choose depression...but a lot of people drive themselves to unhappiness if not depression...not sure if i did or not and what the reasoning was
I can honestly admit that I drove myself into depression, and it took courage to admit that, but it was my first step in getting out of depression, and learning how to live happily. Thank you Sadhguru! I, and solely I, can direct and am responsible for what happens inside of me.
sure. i thought the same until just few months later it got even worse than before
Okay . I don't want to disrespect your experience . Some people have self curable but most people don't. Noone has fun in locking themselves in a room thinking about death .
@xplaybeledon I am sorry . I relate . I kept blaming myself too.
Can you help?
Even me!!!! Same thing here!!!! I drove myself into depression!!!!
I agree that I am indeed responsible for what happens inside me, meaning I should take care of myself.

Overall, here are other things that helped me in my journey towards happier life:
- Acceptance
-Be around happy/positive people

-Anti inflammatory diet ( most of the time)
-3-4 day exercise
-vitamin D levels
-friendship over love ( So called Love 😂)
-defining priorities

can't agree more with this. unfortunately in the US (where I live) we have many of the latter, too many.
Its easy to blame others that wouldn’t lead to depression but loosing hope and blaming yourself is what can lead to
there is something good about being emotional but i agree with you my condition is my responsability blaming others searching outside you just make it darker
Never put your happiness in someone else’s hands
He is probably asking people not to ‘normalize’ depression. Most depression is because people are unable to handle the situations they find themselves in.
Really?
WRONG! Depression can hit out of the blue and cripple you without any triggers. I've been hit with Severe Major Depression when things are going good.
That's so wrong... Only someone who never experienced depression can say that, just like that "Guru" in the video...

If we don't brush our teeth we get cavities. The same is true for our minds. If we don't exercise our minds, eat well, or get our mental floss, our minds will become unhelathy, out of shape, and full of cavities. Sadhguru talks about this in many of his presentations. More and more young people aren't taught how to exercise their minds and as a result their minds become more and more unhealthy as they get older.
Okay . Telling people how to take care of your mental health is very essential . But sadhguru isn't doing that here exactly .
.
My friend . what are you saying . Medicating every little problem is declining our society??? What do you define as small Problem ?? . Mental disorders are more common than you think , do research .
These conditions are not extremely rare. And he’s not a medical man but a guru who is good with words.
Thanks I'm cured
❤️
Good evening brothers and sisters!
@Alpesh Patel then you are not indian
@Alpesh Patel shots fired 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sai Good evening Sai peace be upon you
I totally agree, people need to be told the truth. If u understand that u are responsible for ur own mental health, theres a light bulb that goes on.
3:47 that was an insane punch in the argument
Another one from the guru himself, much love from Kenya.
Namakaran Sadguru,you are one of the few people who has a heart and mind.Thank you so much.Can I keep in touch with you?
Can you make video on connection towards depression and modern societal changes?
Why not upload the full thing?
Sadhguru dropped the Mic on this one!
Especially when he said how do you be fully convinced over facts? 😂
He didn't . He goes deep in all topics so why a shallow layman's approach in a topic like depression
The fact is that when depression is here, well installed, it's way too late to even be able to follow any advice....
Then one needs external help either chemically to restore the balance
I once got depressed because I almost caused a road accident. I felt depressed for a few days but I knew that over time it will become normal and it happened like that.
Bro how u came out of this
Thank you for the knowledge of peacefulness
break it down to its simplest form; take some time to consider, depression is only a deeper state of sadness, and sadness is the same as anger. as both are derived from us not getting our way. still like children throwing a tantrum as they didn't get what they wanted.
if one wants to know themselves, they first need to know their Father. we are a Spiritual being and all is of the Spirit. we are emotional creatures who let themselves be ruled by their desires. it is our very own desires that destroy us, for we are like children who have yet learned how things work. we have control over it if we can understand what is going on.
No i havent been sad and go to depressed in a few days and came back. i went from being extremely happy person to most painful person.
So true sadguru, depression anger anxiety and even happiness is a choice we unconsciously made. And when we get conscious about it we can consciously choose too. M saying from my personal experience. Really.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How did you manage to get out of depression?
Given these harmful views, it is imperative to reconsider following and listening to someone who perpetuates such dangerous misinformation. A leader who lacks understanding and compassion for mental health issues poses a significant risk to the well-being of their followers. Instead, seek out leaders and sources that provide accurate, supportive, and empathetic guidance. Mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, and it deserves to be addressed with the utmost care and respect. Following someone who does not acknowledge this can lead to further harm and hinder the path to healing and recovery for those in need.
"THE LINE BETWEEN SANITY AND INSANITY IS SO THIN. IF YOU PUSH, PUSH ONE DAY YOU WILL CROSS" 🙏 Then one day we will all cross this crossable line because push-push is all we need to do.
Namaskaram Sadhguru,
I completely agree and realise your words.
But I don't agree that depression is a choice for people in their childhood. This is because a child neither understand spirituality(which they have without any vocabulary) nor can ignore the pain to acquire materialisitic things around them either by themselves or emotionally. So depression does not become a choice for them. I have been suffering from it unknowingly from my childhood and the stigma, financial pressure, conceptual skill development and age timeline made it more worse day by day.
He is not targeting those cases. Childhood depression should be dealt professionally.
So, what if you have bipolar disorder? Is that a pathological illness or an illness you put yourself into and you pull yourself out off?
I realized that we have to take responsibility of our mental and physical healthy mostly. When My crush is sad he drinks more which is a vicious cycle.
Yes sadhguru.. I once dived and rose again...
How do i drive myself out of depression
I also wanna clap for him. Such an insight.
i needed this talk
Sadhguru 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Even if you go to a psychologist with your issues, I think all a psychologist would do is clarify, make you aware and maybe give some exercises. But ultimately 'you' do it, 'you' do the things necessary to 'fix' yourself.
We should be determined to be happy and joyful come what may. It is difficult to practice unless we are aware of the situation. Physical health plays a major role. That's where yoga lends a helping hand. Or Simply follow Sadhguru and be joyful.
If things are going wrong with your life it is bad enough... being in depression you are only multiplying the problem.
U are wrong
I'm convinced
Depression is a choice. Sadness is a choice. Everything we feel is a choice. If happiness is a choice, sadness is a choice. Yes people have the power to control their own feelings. That is the only thing we control, how we respond.
You have the IQ of a toddler. Anyone can get depression, it's not a choice! It has been proven by science.
@@jayeezus well are you depressed if you are tell me why
true
@@gamingarena6077 It's really pathetic to see people deny scientific facts....
internal vs external locus of control. Internal pursues internal solutions, external pursues external excuses.
Namaskaram sadhguru🙏
That's so true what he said..
Sadhguru 😊❤
Don't upload videos like constipation. Do upload full event or upload at least 8-9 videos a day.
Ha Ha
human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end.”
I agree to his words 😇
The lady who said she is entitled to her sadness is at the verge of pushing herself into depression. Keep at it and you'll get there. That is EXACTLY what Kyabje was talking about. But she wouldn't just listen. Your life, lady.
You see it too right? I was also thinking the same.
No I disagree . If sadhguru goes deep into every topics why does he deal these topics without depth just because he hasn't experienced it .. I love sadhguru but surely have to disagree . Nasmaste
Depression is a Virtual Labyrinth with (good and bad doors and signposts).
One must know and above all accept mental things which are "yin and yang" good bad.
If you do not accept the right way Mental runs 1000 times past it in the depression = self-flagellation
Best motivating person in my life..😊😊
Thank you

Many people say depression is not a choice, because it is an illness. But then again, illnesses are treatable as well. It’s only a matter of time, and free will.
Being depressed of a friend who stopped talking to me suddenly..what to do? Shiv help me out of this..pls

Would like help with bipolar disorder
great sadhguru
Many people don't know it is a choice because the depression happens so unconsciously
Thanks! Good point! I think he NEVER went to this point personally
The fact is that when depression is here , it's kinda "too late" to follow any advice.... unfortunately yep
I agree
Depression in most cases is caused by thoughts. Thinking negatively. Hopeless thoughts. Without a practice of mediation and being consciously aware of your thoughts, you could drive yourself into depression. It’s all in the mind. You think you are your mind and your thoughts. That is the root of depression.
Reason why some people choose to be depressed is cuz it’s felt at the moment, not only dat you want the feeling that something good will come while depressed but fooling to know it will not. The body react crazy on its own.
Depression never goes away, but it can hide itself lik 99%, some of the happiest people in the world have "depression"
Very wise

The last part proves that if you are not convinced, don't let it pass. *Sadhguru will elaborate.* Until then he *assumes we are not sooo dumb.*
What about depression caused by chronic pain?
Like being lazy😮
The psychologist in the panel can read more of Dr William Glasser's work.
s Brahmi Chayawanprash by Planet Ayurveda is very helpful in mind relaxation.
In Hindu/Yog concept body is a one continuum,sthul,sukshm and karan.Dysfunction of sthul and sukshm sharir (bodies)cause illnesses and are amenable to corrections.
Depression is caused by particular conditions. If you alter the conditions, you alter your disposition.
Zezzreth Vhaorik elaborate please, what conditions?
Outstanding food
I am not agree with you for these point because i am 17 year old child and depression is not my choice . i want to focus my studies only and only my studies .but Because of the environment around me, I cannot concentrate on my studies even if I want. my mom dad always fight
Yeah I think this topic needs to be digged more deeper. It seems he is minimizing the effect of environment influences and how parents treat their children. Just like he said in his yoga centre environment is needed to be quiet and silence to provide inner engineering to people. And he has his own way of how to raise and provide to his daughter. What happens outside of us or to us does influence or help build what inside of us. For example how parents talk to their children will become how children talk to themselves. It is true that it's our responsibility to make our mental healthy, but there is also limitation and setback that keep us from building the healthy mental space. I used to know happiness and inner world is determined by myself too when I was younger, but after something happened I went unhappy too. It is our responsibility and it also can be influenced by outside world. My father and mother yelled everyday too.

Did Sadhguru lost it?
I think bi polar people in particular do not choose depression...but a lot of people drive themselves to unhappiness if not depression...not sure if i did or not and what the reasoning was
He never argued about serious conditions. He agrees that some do need actual help.
