Unless you have been through the hell that is unipolar depression, you cant possibly understand it. It ruins you. It is a disease. Watch Dr. Robert Sapolsky's 55 minute depression video on youtube. It will help you understand depression
Posthuman7: I suffer from Clinical Depression. You are wrong. It is not extreme sadness. I would gladly trade depression for that. Depression is a void. You are literally numb. You dont recognize yourself. You find no joy. You are literally a dead person. You cant get out of bed, you lose psychomotor functions. It saps you. It never leaves. It is always there. So please until you have lived through this void called depression dont make such statements
It depends on the person. I can say with 100% certainty that medication cured my depression. I'm very grateful for science. I'm sorry to those who didn't get the desired effect from the pills. But when I say I was depressed, I mean more depressed than you can imagine. That's why I needed the pills. If pills didn't cure your depression than perhaps you didn't actually have real depression in the first place.
Have you ever read the journal of a Manic Depressive. This guy was on the run from the authorities for 10 years and he knew real fear. He overcame to become his nation's greatest Leader. But he didnt do it alone. Here's a bit of that journal:
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For Thou Art with me.....Psalm 23
READ BETWEEN THE LINES. They are not saying that it doesn't exist!!! They are saying that people are being prescribed the drug without full information. Depression is thought to be caused by seratonin deficiency but no one really knows - that's what these researchers are saying. Because of this medical-model symptom-pill cycle w/o proof, other interventions which may work are not even tried such as a diet, sleep or exercise change.
Its not a fucking disease - you cant catch it off of someone -
mental illness, what a load of tripe.
Its just people are so ignorant and satisfied and content within their perfect little cosy, safe worlds, that they dont have any idea of how depressing some peoples lives can actually be -
and because they dont understand/familiarise with it - they isolate it - and call it an "illness" -

The cause of depression is simply this: People are unwilling to take responsibility for their life-situations and would rather complain than take meaningful action. Depression is the ultimate in ego-identification.
Depression is an outgrowth of a victim-mentality. Anyone who is depressed feels victimized. Victimization is a mindset, a belief system. It is born in childhood and very few people ever fully escape from it. I know because I was a classic "victim" until I awoke out of ego-identification.
Hey Dr. Freud, don't know if you're aware of this but, the psychoanalyst movement is dead. And this whole 'ego' thing is only beneficial to someone engaged in philosophy or Eastern spirituality. No one thing is the cure-all for the world. And you suffer from being a victim of retardation.
I disagree. The ego-state is responsible for ALL self-imposed suffering. It destroys people's lives without them even realizing it. The ego is the voice in your head that won't leave you alone. To realize this IS a "cure-all". Depression doesn't have to be some mysterious thing that we can't figure out.
I'm sorry, when did someone's mind-set on life become irrelevant in the process of beating depression? Hahaha, isn't it "trendy" anymore to have a self-perception in the world of today? Thats a pretty retarded clame
Of course it is irrelevant. Why bother to help people understand anything when you can give them a pill that screws up their brain chemistry that makes them feel nothing but happy... or nothing... or worse.
I dated a girl who suffered from depression. She was molested by an Uncle when she was younger. She was a victim. And who are you to tell her how to react? The true sign of a person who is unintelligent is someone who tries to simplify things. Life is not a black and white thing; there are innumerable colors and possibilities.
Have u ever felt worthless and unloved in a room of all ur family? Wanting to kill urself bc the world would be better off? Then U DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!
your attempt to feel more victimized than others, more sad than others, is exactly what the ego does. It wants to be NOTICED. So the ego cries out "look at me! I'm over here! Everybody please notice how sad I am! See how much more victimized I am than everybody else?! Feel sorry for me!"...Believe me, I understand completely the full scope of depression. The LEVEL of depression isn't important, though, because the CAUSE is always the same.
the reason that people get ANGRY when you point out facts about depression is that they have taken on the IDENTITY of a victim. They IDENTIFY with their depression. They think its WHO THEY ARE. And they get ANGRY when that "identity" is challenged.

Only people who haven't suffered a major depression could deny that it's a serious disease.

"The ego-state..." Do you realize that the psychoanalyst brand of psychology is pretty much irrelevant today?
