Someone asked Osho if it is justified and ethical for patients of depression to be given Dynamic Meditation?’
A 29-year-old man in my neighbourhood committed suicide early this year. He was clinically depressed, unable to express his emotions. He was also extremely dependent on people & situations agreeing to his ideas all the time.
His family kept nagging him to be like other people who are more successful, more confident, and more charismatic. However, he was a soft-hearted man who felt unloved and ignored. Finally, he killed himself.
The word depression has been long ignored in most Indian families. Many refuse to acknowledge a clinical problem that can’t be seen. Covid has changed things. It is not a big taboo to discuss mental issues anymore. People find value in investing and talking about mental wellness.
