How can I make up for missing salah due to depression?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I have a very big problem with me. I have not offered salah for 1 month as I am suffering from depression, anxiety and some mental tensions and in the night every day I remember Allah (SWT) and in mind ask him to please forgive me. I recite surahs and ayahs and then keep taking Allah’s name and go to sleep. I have not told this to any one as I think I am guilty for this and if I tell this to any one I will get scolding. Please help me.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Make qaza of one month salah which you missed. In-shaAllah, with the blessings of salah your depression and anxiety shall be removed. Also recite the following dua extensively to remove your mental depression:

لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إلا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيم

May Almighty Allah grant you peace and ease and save you from all kinds of troubles! Amen!

Allah knows Best!
