development of urban and peri-urban areas,
interference of the media and social media in
every aspect of life, and disruption in the
traditional joint family system, there is an
underlying strain on the socio-cultural fabric.
?Some of this stress, if not handled well, can push
human beings into depression.

?Some of this stress, if not handled well, can push
human beings into depression.
?Some interesting cases and studies throw light on
the coping mechanisms for anxiety and depression.
Viktor Frankl, who was detained in Nazi
concentration camps, studied the source of
depression and found that it is the lack of
meaning in life.
?Individuals who are able to discover meaning
tend to achieve the will and strength to endure
life.
?That brings us to the next question: how do we
find meaning in life? Meaning can be found in love
and work.
?Love for fellow beings is what motivates a person
to work or take action.
