Psychology today: The power of love

Psychology Today The Power of Love Love is the best antidepressant—but many of our ideas about it are wrong.

The less love you have, the more depressed you are likely to feel.     Love is as critical for your mind and body as oxygen. It's not negotiable. The more connected you are, the healthier you will be both physically and emotionally.

The less connected you are, the more you are at risk.  It is also true that the less love you have, the more depression you are likely to experience in your life.

Love is probably the best antidepressant there is because one of the most common sources of depression is feeling unloved. Most depressed people don't love themselves and they do not feel loved by others. They also are very self-focused, making them less attractive to others and depriving them of opportunities to learn the skills of love.  There is a mythology in our culture that love just happens.

 As a result, the depressed often sit around passively waiting for someone to love them. But love doesn't work that way. To get love you'll have to love with all your heart and put effort into showing it.
