| Abstract: | Presents an attempt to define depression and to explore its roots by bringing it into the context of human experience of reality. Also discussed is the issue of dualism in cognizing inner and outer reality as an important factor in the formation of depression. Symptoms of depression are defined, and a theory about the reasons of suicidal behavior is presented. The technique of psychological ego-death-rebirth for treating depression and suicidal tendencies is discussed, and a successful case example is presented of a 31-yr-old man who had attempted suicide.
