Research shows that depressed people dream much more than non-depressed people, distorting the balance between recuperative slow-wave sleep and energy-burning dream sleep. Clearly, because they spend so much time worrying and imagining, they have far higher amounts of unexpressed arousal to discharge. With so much energy spent on all the excessive dreaming they have to do, they wake up exhausted and lacking in motivation.
It is necessary for people in depression to be helped to challenge their negative thoughts, imagine more realistic outcomes and futures and to find ways to put meaning and purpose back into their lives. This could be through exercise, team sports, doing something for other people, learning a new skill, calling up old friends, and so on. Very often, people who are depressed start to withdraw from their usual routines, stopping going out or phoning or seeing friends, and this makes them dwell on their misery even more. It is essential, therefore, that they are helped to start meeting their emotional needs again, in healthy and satisfying ways. If the depression is due to post-traumatic stress, it is also necessary to stop the traumatic memory from continuing to interfere with life in the present. The rewind technique, a simple, non-invasive method of detraumatisation that all human givens practitioners learn, can achieve this quickly.
Dwelling on and digging up the past is dangerous. Neuropsychological research has shown that this has a physical effect on the brain, strengthening the neuronal connections with misery and negative thinking. We get better at piano or football with practice and, unfortunately, we get better at depression with practice too! So, it really is important to think to the future instead – to learn to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, take back control, find ways to bring meaning and purpose back into life and to look forward with hope.

Continuous, restful sleep is an absolute must. We are unable to store sleep, i.e. take power naps thinking we are good to go. Too many of us are sleep deprived. I am pleased to share I have attended a comprehensive training on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I.

Blackburn is a Lancashire town with a large South Asian Muslim population—among the most concentrated in England at roughly a third of residents—and a post-industrial economy built on the decline of its once-dominant textile industry, creating a mental health landscape where cultural, religious, and economic factors intersect in ways that require thoughtful, community-responsive care. NHS mental health services are provided through Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, and culturally competent therapy that is sensitive to Islamic perspectives on mental health and wellbeing is an important and growing part of the local care landscape. Areas of significant deprivation coexist with a vibrant community life, and many residents prefer faith-integrated or community-based support alongside or instead of conventional therapy. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, economic stress, intergenerational family dynamics, and the identity challenges faced by British Muslim communities navigating between traditional and contemporary expectations.
