We feel SAD because of three effects of the above-mentioned occurrences. The three effects are, first S-tress, second A-nxiety and third D-epression. When this SAD becomes chronic the condition of the person concerned becomes very bad. In general the person concerned needs the love, support of his/her family members and counseling from a professional counselor. Sadness takes away the happiness, which God has given us as gift. There are many instances of suicide, mental illness and nervous break down cases which are really saddening. So it is always better for us to stay happy as far as possible.
The word of God is always reviving and helpful during the time when we are sad. When we take time and study the word of God we will be revived, refreshed and cherished.
