It's a shame that so many people think the answer lies in medication.

It's a shame that so many people think the answer lies in medication.

But the medical profession tell us its ok. And doctors are seen by many to be pillars of the community and therefore completely trustworthy. Stupid humans.

It's a pity that so many ill informed "experts" see fit to comment on the choices others make.

Depression is different for every person that suffers from it.
The triggers and the depths of depression some people reach are all different.
The first part of dealing with it for an individual is recognizing something is wrong.
Understanding this and the understanding of others can help a lot.
A lot of people have positive results, just with understanding of what is going on and support from others.
For some they need to balance their chemical levels to a get to a place that is comfortable better space

"Deprive any human of sunlight and stimulus for a prolonged time and we will all reach a level of depression.

Everyone's entitled to my own opinion.

Its become popular in recent years to bag the medical professsion and pharmaceutical companies for depression drugs but that doesn't mean the criticisms are correct. They simply aren't.

The evidence is the huge number of people able to recover balanced and calm thinking which clinicians - and families see every day. Doctors who often know their patients for more than 20 years would not prescribe something which wasn't working.

Husaberg said it best above - depression is different for every person. Often its like the common cold, something which intrudes into your life from time to time but goes away at others. If a medicine can heal your brain chemistry then just as with diabetes, heart problems, asthma etc take the stuff.

It doesn't mean they are all wrong either ...

They prescribe mind altering drugs legally ... and you say that is ok .. ???

Do you think 20 years of reliance on mind altering drugs is a good thing ... The "balanced and calm thinking" is really just slowed thinking. And the medications are more for the benefit of the family's ... than the patient. But it's cheaper to have them at home under the care (read observation) of their family ...

Depression, Diabetes, heart problems, asthma etc are NOT "Healed" with drugs ... merely treated. The actual problems still REMAIN. And need to continue getting treatment for the remainder of their lives.

scary picture youre painting.
Unfortunately, in many cases, not far off the mark.

Treat the symptom. Not the cause. Nothing like 4 decades guaranteed repeat business to keep pharmac's boredroom happy. Nice stable financial plot...

And cannabis is still illegal. To borrow unstuck:
stupid humans!

This is completely wrong on so many levels. And I'm not about to go in to how or why.

The internet does not ask for qualifications based on years of study and learning, before you can air your view. As a result you can find support for your opinion no matter how wrong you are.

[husaberg]

Arguing the merits of drugs vs other treatments is meaningless everyone is different.
Below are quotes mixed together from suffers of depression that struck a cord with me.

The other is the best description i have seen thus far..........
