In  Kali Yuga, ltInternet is one of the Brahmastras. It is such a wonderful  thing that there is an answer for every question & some solution for every problem.
Following is one of them on Healing & Good living.

It is increasingly becoming more lucid , with each passing day, that people who give more & help others, in whatever capacity,
are blessed with robust health & tons of happiness.
People who do not share & refrain from giving anything they have - knowledge/ job/ client/ order/ business/ guidance/ contract/ money/ contacts/ resources/ time/ power/ position,,, to others & for others benefit,,, ,,I do not want to say anything.

An enlightened person stated that if a person starts giving , now, he will have a great relief from various suffering & problems

& quickly get on to the path of joyous living.

On the Road to Feeling Better

Can we help ourselves fight off depression? A therapist offers a pathway.

I hadn't been running for a while when I set off toward the Dish on a recent Friday evening, needing a pick-me-up after a difficult week. By the time I reached the hilltop and paused to enjoy the view of the Foothills and, in the far distance, San Francisco, I was feeling better.

Now that I think of it, a lot of activities that leave me gasping and sweaty improve my mood. It probably has something to do with endorphins, or maybe it's the residue of ancient evolutionary coding from a time when we chased wild animals through the savanna, hoping for dinner.

I was put in mind of this after reading our cover story on Mr X groundbreaking work in psychotherapy. Mr X has helped countless millions of people feel better. His bestselling books describe techniques for defeating—or at least holding at bay—depression and anxiety, and his work with therapists has established a new way of thinking about mental health. Few areas of scholarship can be so directly and effectively applied.

Mr X posits—and his results demonstrate—that we can revive ourselves by arguing against the darkness trying to envelop us. In one amusing anecdote from our story, Mr X pulls a woman out of her funk by insisting that she do jumping jacks, right there, right then. Suddenly she is laughing, joy spilling out of her. Now, obviously it's not that easy for everyone. Mental health problems are complex and particular to each person: There is no single remedy. But I was struck by how decisive Burns's approach can be in many cases.

Happiness is elusive for so many folks. Even defining what it is can be tricky. It's a state of being with many shades and intensities. For some, it's simply the absence of unhappiness.

My grandfather somehow intuitively knew that sustained happiness didn't just happen. He had his share of heartache, losing his wife at a young age and raising a son, my dad, on his own in the midst of grinding poverty. He lived alone for much of his adult life but seemed to treasure the smallest blessings, and made a point of making the rounds in his small town each morning to visit friends and offer help where he could. I wasn't thinking this when I was 10 years old tagging along with him, but in retrospect he was modeling for me a way of living, a means of caring for one's well-being—while also caring for others.

His experience is not a perfect analog for the techniques Burns employs, but it stands for me as an example of our ability to heal ourselves if we have the resources, inner and otherwise, to do so. Scholars and practitioners like Burns can only help.
