Does Spirituality Help with Anxiety and Depression?

Depression and Anxiety Healing Through Spirituality

One of the most common causes of emotional suffering is a major depressive disorder. It is projected that it will be the second most prevalent disease burden worldwide by 2020. Fortunately, anxiety and depression can be treated effectively by professionals.

Psychotherapy

In addition to medication, psychotherapy can be effective. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps patients to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Meditation is also helpful. Physical activity can help alleviate some symptoms.

Studies for Spiritual Therapy

There is evidence that spirituality is an important component of mental health. Many studies have shown inverse correlations between religious participation and depression. However, it is difficult to quantify or incorporate this factor into research.

A qualitative study will investigate the experience of participants with spiritual healing. It will employ a phenomenological, hermeneutical method. Using semi-structured interviews, the researchers sought to determine which aspects of spirituality were most useful and which were the most impressive.

The most obvious benefit of a spiritually informed intervention is that it may address the existential dimension of a patient’s depressive concerns. Patients with personal loss, for instance, may have questions about why God allows suffering.

Therapist

For some, religious coping is a powerful protective factor against depression. A therapist might suggest resources to assist with the process.

Meditation

Among the most important aspects of spirituality is its ability to promote the mind-body connection. Practicing mindfulness and meditation can increase self-awareness and enhance well-being.

However, it is not a scientific or clinical fact that the brain has the ability to heal itself through spirituality. Some studies have found that people who undergo meditation improve their mood and have lower depressive symptoms.
