A: Yes. There are many [[different]] forms of mental anguish, all of which result from [[unconscious]] turbulence such as [[depression]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mania mania]. These two, especially, are resulting from [[growth]] [[process]] which has not been made fully [[conscious]]. It is [[dangerous]] to dwell within depression, and one should seek [[activity]] to lighten this burden. There are many times "lows" in life which have resulted in [[profound]] [[realizations]], and these realizations are greatly benefitting the [[future]] life. [[Wisdom]] may be derived from the [[understanding]] of mental [[emotional]] states, and in so doing, to separate the [[self]], the [[conscious]] self, from the [[emotional]] self. This can result in a wiser [[understanding]] of your being at times. It is, again, difficult to separate from the emotional self, but it can be done.

And now I will leave you with this [[thought]]. There is a certain tree which [[grows]] in the [[wind]]. It is gnarled and bent and small and hearty. On the crag of the cliff, it looks down at the [[ocean]] and receives the mist from the [[tide]]. It looks up at the [[sun]] and receives the warmth of her [[light]]. It clings steadily to the rock's [[face]] and is secure in its place there. Having grown amid so much [[wind]], there is not a wind which can bring it down. [[Shalom]].
