Depression and civilization

"A civilization (US) or civilisation (UK) is any complex society characterized by urban development, symbolic communication forms (typically, writing systems), and a perceived separation from and domination over the natural environment." and this is a formal definition of Civilization copied from Wikipedia.

STROKE

Somehow, the more civilized we become the rate of the diseases that used to be very rare just a decades ago start to grow up. Statistical data concerning USA reveals that depression as well as other mental disorders are closely related to: Stroke, Obesity, Heart Attack as well as some other disorders such as insomnia, infections, autoimmune disease...

On the other hand, whenever I watch commercials on TV I hear such funny things from some advertisement professionals who, for example,offer proved method to make you lose 20 kilos in just 2 months only by spreading some new invented cream from some state-of-the-art labs, without any need for the client to bother himself with some additional activities.Furthermore, he/she can simply apply the cream all over their body before they go to bed to take a shower in the morning before they go to work. Repeated for 2 months and results are obvious: they have lost their weight happy with the effectiveness of the new discovered remedy.  

OBESITY

It is fine, by using the cream you have really lost fat on your stomach, legs or bottom, but have you removed the fat from your internal organs? What about the situation with your veins? Again, you will take another pills to cure your veins, then you will take another pills to cure the side effects and so on.

The same applies to Heart Attack. People drink, smoke, do not hike enough,sit in front the TV set all evening, nibbling some snacks and then when they get ill, they seek solution. Of course, it is normal to seek solution, but it is better and healthier to seek prevention. 

Stroke, interestingly, is linked with education. Educated individuals, very rare experience Stroke. When they study or do an intellectual activity they activate great amount of energy to flow in the brain, therefore, thinking holistically there is no an "energy bottleneck" i.e. inertial energy.

You will have perceived already what all these diseases have in common. They were so rare not long ago, as opposed to nowadays and there is another thing, an important one, which is that they all can be prevented or cured by Physical or Mental activity. The point is to make the energy inside our bodies to flow.

In the definition for civilization we see that we are civilized once we start to separate and dominate over nature. If you ask me, then I have no inclination towards being civilized(according to definition in Wikipedia); actually either I am not civilized or the definition taken from Wikipedia is wrong. Let me get something clear: I do not mind studying mathematics, IT, physics,cultured behavior, development of science or medicine which have contributed significantly for development of our civilization! I just strongly disapprove separation and exploitation of nature because WE ALL ARE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER!

You may wonder: what does depression have to do nature? I will answer: It has to do a lot! Holistic approach is fundamental in any aspect, starting from micro cosmos up to large galaxies!It applies for human beings too as we are somewhere in the middle! Have you heard late announcements from professional persons in psychology that depression directly affects our immune system and that some infections bear relation with depression! It has already been proved that quite a few diseases are related to depression and I am certain that many more diseases will be brought into relation with depression and anxiety.Next, I have personally experienced that depression (in my case) directly affected compulsive overeating, heartbeat rate, stomach function, intestine work and some other!Within next years medicine will reveal many more connections between mental and physical diseases which will indisputably and practically prove holistic view!

Mother earth and the nature are part of us just as much we(humans) are part of them. We exist interactively and we depend on each other! If there is some species extinguished the WHOLE suffers. We (as conscious beings) suffer as well and it manifests through depression. We suffer because we separate from the nature that we have been part of for thousands of years. The sharp change of the flow of our history and habits is the most important factor which contributes to depression.
