Pls help : Does Jyotish have cure for DEPRESSION ?

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

A very Happy Diwali to all of you !

 

I had posted this query some weeks back regarding my father who is

suffering from severe depression.

 

His birth details are :

Date : 02.02.1942

Place : Nagpur (India) 21.09 N, 79.09

Time : Unknown.

 

I received advice from some members of this group, and I would like

to thank them for the same.

 

It's been over 8 months now, my father's depression doesn't seem to

end. We have changed his psychiatrist and are coaxing him to actively

participate in things to keep himself busy. But my father's refusal

to do just anything is simply alarming. My wife and I are away from

home (we are actually out of India), and my mother therefore has to

bear the brunt of his whims and fancies... I am extremely worried

about the state of his health affairs.

 

Some questions :

1. We do not have my father's birthtime. Given the lack of data, I

would appreciate if anybody could tell me the severity of the Sade-

Sati my father is going thru. How long will the affliction last ? Can

it be lessened ?

 

2. I have started doing shani-jaap and maha mrityunjaya jaap (108

times) daily on my father's behalf, as he doesn't have any belief in

astrology. And in his current mental state, trying to convince him to

listen to a CD with the maha mrityunjaya jaap playing in the

background is also getting to be next to impossible. His negativity,

refusal to think positive, panic-attacks on his "imagined illness",

his fear of death etc. refuse to disappear.

 

So, will my praying to Lord Shani for appeasement do any good for my

father ?

 

Does my family need to do anything else to help my father get out of

the suffering he is in today ?

 

Yes, I am REALLY desperate for a solution as I can't see my father

(or mother) suffering ...

 

Kind regards,

Raja
