Depression can feel like an endless tunnel with no light in sight. For Shama Persson, it was a battle she knew all too well. In this episode of 'From Darkness to Light', Shama opens up about her personal experience with using medication to tackle depression.

Shama shares how medicine became a game-changer for her mental health, providing a sense of calm and happiness she hadn't known before. Shama doesn't shy away from addressing the stigma surrounding medication. She talks about the societal judgments and personal beliefs that often label medicine as a last resort or an inferior option compared to yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.

She believes that medicine can be a powerful tool when used alongside lifestyle habits and spiritual practices. Her story is a reminder that help comes in many forms, and it's crucial to welcome it rather than reject it. If you or someone you know is grappling with depression, Shama's candid discussion offers a beacon of hope.
