"Situational Depression , Fours Feel that, They have a secret self that no one knows"

The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram: Nine Faces of the Soul
by Sandra Maitri

Sandra Maitri's "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is, without doubt, the most insightful and meaningful book on the nine temperaments, but caution potential readers that this is not a "beach read" and is best suited as reading for those who are seriously ready to take a deeper look at their own psycho-spiritual essence and soul. This is not a pop-psychology "personality typing" book, but rather a valuable guide for people on their journey of self-discovery, transformation and self-realization.

The book DOES touch on the Nine Temperaments of the enneagram in the personality type" context most people know it, and it covers the psychological aspects of the different types. The majority of "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is dedicated to a thorough discussion of each of the nine temperaments, examining the way each has "lost touch" with its essence or "Holy Idea;" describing the psychological and environmental circumstances for these losses, and then offering guidance on how to recover the part of the self that has been lost.

The term "sprituality" by no means makes this a "religious" book. Instead, it is a book about understanding and healing our souls, regardless of religious orientation.

The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.

Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.

This is why, if you:

Situational Depression Brought On By Life   
Andrea Waggener

Situational depression could be called "Sometimes life sucks, and it just gets you down." The description would be accurate, but it would be making light of a serious condition.

Situational depression can be every bit as debilitating and painful as clinical depression or manic depression.

The difference between situational depression and other types of depression is that situational depression, as its name suggests, is caused by life's situations, or life events. In other words, situational depression is brought on by life.


Sometimes challenging life events, such as the loss of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job, the failure to reach some important life goal or any other event that a person sees as bad or terribly upsetting, can cause depression. Situational depression, for instance, commonly occurs after a trauma like a serious car accident or a house fire.

The life event that triggers situational depression can vary in severity. What will cause situational depression in one person won't cause it in another. A teenager, for instance, who suffers an illness which requires a medication that causes her to gain 40 pounds might fall into a situational depression because of her weight gain. A middle-aged person gaining the same amount of weight might be bothered by the gain but won't become depressed.


The length of a situational depression generally is determined by the how the sufferer perceives the crisis. In other words, if the sufferer thinks the problem is big, depression is far more likely to result. For example, a person who fails to get a job he applied for might depressed for a day or two. A person who loses a parent may be depressed for weeks, months, or years. Big losses generally cause longer periods of depression.

Situational depression symptoms are very similar to clinical depression symptoms. This is why it can be difficult to determine whether a depressive episode is clinical or situational. After looking at the situational depression symptoms, the best way to figure out whether the depression is situational or clinical is to do a life event inventory. Find out if some event was especially disturbing or upsetting.


Look at various life events and if you suspect they might be the cause of situational depression, ask yourself how you felt before the event and how you felt after. This can help you determine if your depression is situational or clinical.


Just because situational depression doesn't have a chemical/physical cause doesn't mean it's less serious. If you suspect you're depressed because of a life event, explore depression treatment options for your situational depression.
