I am noticing a trend in young adults who are disposed to depression. Being under a lot of pressure from family or from peer pressure, all of this stuff. They have a tendency to become depressed.

And if their well-wishers realize that, "Hey, this person is now tending to be depressed," these guys are given some advice: "Oh, go do some yoga or go do some meditation," or, I don't know, breathing techniques, or join a church, or something. All this is fine. All this is perfectly fine.

But the antidote to depression is connection. Connection is the only way out from depression. It's the fastest way.

And the connection has to be made by us, with the person who we think is now tending to be aloof and lonely and this kind of stuff. You have to notice these trends and form the connection.

And it's not an in-your-face type connection. It could be a general, very light connection. "Hey, I'm going out for a bite to eat. Would you like to join me?" Or, "I'm going to run some errands. Would you like me to get you some things?" Groceries and stuff like that.

Connection. Connection is the antidote to depression.
