CAUSES OF DEPRESSION AND ITS REMEDY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS

Purpose of study: The objective of this study is to demonstrate that, when compared to science, religion offers more potent and successful treatments for depression. While healing procedures provided by science are not accessible to everyone, Divine connections' solutions are more affordable and accessible. Methodology: Comparative analysis has been utilized as a methodological framework focusing on individualizing, universalizing, discovering variation, and embracing. As a conceptual framework, Abrahamic religions have been kept in view. The often-employed and highly regarded experimental and observational strategy for comparing studies has been implemented. Findings: Abrahamic religions claim God Almighty is the sole creator of the universe. Since God made human beings and only He knows how humans can live a happy life during their stay on the earth, the ways given to humankind by Him as compared to artificial solutions are the best in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Application of the study: If the search for peace and contentment leads man to hunt for ways how to tune in his internal divine spark with the spark of nature outside to find the best solutions for freeing himself from mental stress and depression, then this study can serve as a foundation stone. Moreover, this article provides some primary material for those who make up their mind to study monotheistic religions (Corrigan et al., 1998) for peace of mind.
