This text from Rabbi Ezagui's book explores the concept of depression from a spiritual perspective, framing it as the body's dominance over the spirit. It posits that self-centeredness and excessive focus on physical desires contribute significantly to depressive states. The author outlines four mystical methods to combat negativity, ranging from reframing the depression to ultimately transforming it into joy through a God-centered worldview and focusing on purpose and giving to others as pathways to happiness.
