How to cure depression to get to the root?

To break the root of depression depression must rely on repentance and changing incorrect cognition in Buddhism.

Depression is a cognitive disorder that requires a radical cognitive change of incorrect ideas in order to prevent symptoms from recurring. Changing cognition can be done through psychology or traditional culture, the most radical of which is Buddhism.

Depression, in the view of Freud and Jung, is considered to be a problem of the subconscious mind. However, from a more complete and thorough perspective, the occurrence of depression is closely related to the individual's karma, and in order to eliminate the landmine of karmic obstacles lurking in the depths of the mind's consciousness, one must rely on repentance to be able to do so.

On the causes and treatments of depression, I have written "Talking about Depression from a Buddhist Perspective" in Hundred, so if you are interested, you can search and read it.
