What is Spirituality and how does it helps in reducing depression or overcome depression?

spirituality referred to a religious process of re-formation which "aims to recover the original shape of a person".Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature. ... An opening of the heart is an essential aspect of true spirituality.

Person entering into the world of spirituality experience many changes in their body like mental calmness , peace understanding inner-self being detached from stress and anxiety . They become more peaceful and starts enjoying every moment of life and also starts loving nature and all the beings around them.Many studies have found an inverse correlation between religious/spiritual involvement and depression. Yet several obstacles impede spiritually integrated treatment of depressed individuals. These include specialization and fragmentation of care, inexperience of clinicians and spiritual care providers, ideological bias, boundary and ethical concerns, and the lack of an accepted conceptual framework for integrated treatment.
