The Truth About Depression with Dr. Ardeshir Mehran

The Hippie Moms Podcast - A podcast by Becky Wells

As we continue our journey towards healing and wholeness, there are two common aspects of mental illness plaguing humanity. Anxiety and depression. If you are in fact human, then you are not a stranger to these dark mental places. In fact, statistics show that almost 25% of people have these mental burdens, yet women are the lead runners and struggle the most. What if depression and anxiety aren't actually afflictions or chemical imbalances but vital signals from our soul and body expressing to us a very important message? My hope is that this conversation with the phenomenal Dr. Ardeshir will offer you a new perspective to view mental struggle differently. He shares that everyone else portrays depression as an immovable cause, a mood disorder that must be treated, yet he busts this myth and focuses attention on the real culprit: the unfulfilled life we must lead when we deny our birthrights. According to Dr. Ardeshir, Depression is your soul screaming to you, "Wake up you are in the wrong neighborhood, get back home... get back home!" It’s living an inauthentic life that blocks us from the very life force that nourishes each and every cell of our body. How do we get back to ourselves? He shares techniques he uses with his clients and speaks to the 7 emotional needs that we require as humans. There is so much gold in this conversation! Let’s dive in!
