Alastair Campbell is a war criminal, so who cares what he thinks about anything? And why is he on TV so often, giving his worthless opinions? Who ever voted for him? His role during Blair's illegal wars was the equivalent of those of Joseph Goebbels and Julius Streicher during Hitler's.
Don't feel sorry for war criminal Campbell over his depression, but for the victims of his crimes.
Alastair Campbell should be in jail for his crimes and hopefully will be one day.
Charlie Stayt: 'Are we in danger because of this report and in a way what Alastair's saying of getting to the point where we're saying a little bit of depression's good for you?
Alastair Campbell: No I don't think I'm saying that.
Anyone can get depression, even Press Secretaries with attack dog reputations. It does not help to generalize about the sort of people who might get depression. I have interviewed AC at length and there is no doubt that he had severe depression and was hospitalized for it, but went on to work in government. I was not paid anything for that interview. I did it to reduce the stigma associated with depression. Whatever you think of AC he is brave to talk about depression.
i wonder how much the labour party was paying this psychiatrist to say Campbell had "depression" instead of psychopathology, in order to keep him out the loony bin
I don't think there'll ever be more openness about it. Depression stems from repressed rage, repressed precisely because it's forbidden to be expressed in social circumstances. To claim that we could all be open about depression is to deny that there is such a thing. The only way out is to go within, but that's what we'll never find expressed in the mass media because it's based on the premise that no such thing exists. Such are the paradoxes of mental illness, but such is the way to freedom.
Please would Paul Keedwell sort out the sound syncronisation on this video - the lip-sync is out. The sound track needs shifting a little in relation to the video.

depression stems from being able to reflect on the futility of life, or on being emotionally sensitive....
..Campbell doesn't reflect on anything : hes a man of violent action & he's about as sensitive as a goddamn toilet seat
