ENGLISH TRANSLATION

What Yoruba regard as anguish of mind is persistent sad thought. There is no one exempted from thinking but anguish of mind is dangerous. Thoughtfulness is different from anguish of mind. Scientist with deep thinking were able to invent aeroplane or landing on the moon, modern medicine to cure diseases, and for provision of other modern infrastructures but anguish of mind causes suicidal thought, stealing and other bad behaviour.

Being rich or in high position of authority does not exempt one from anguish of mind as a result of fear of losing such status, sickness, bereavement, unexpected circumstances, bareness, bad behaved children and other various reasons. At the same time, the poor are also affected by anguish of mind as a result of financial incapability, sickness, bereavement, oppression from the powerful, delayed expectation, and other reasons.

Some of the signs of anguish of mind are: lack of sleep, lack of appetite, fear, incessant cry, sorrow or heart ache. Anguish of mind is not constructive rather it is destructive. The danger of anguish of mind can cause: headache or migraine, imaginary illness, hypertension, stroke and tiredness among others.

Sometimes, anguish of mind is unavoidable, particularly when one is bereaved, but often times, it is within one’s control to reduce anguish of mind. Part of what could be done by those prone to anguish of mind are: to have faith, be content, positive thought and work, avoiding being in the company of pessimist or wicked people and to love others.

Sounds like today’s classic case of depression.
