I was thinking about an article I read where the writer said that depression can be cured. Actually, I've been thinking about it a lot. Now, after a few days, I think I have my response to the article...
BULLSHIT!
And here's why...Depression is not a disease with a cure. Sorry to play the role of Debbie Downer...but depression, like alcoholism or drug addition, is a disease that a person must constantly fight against, even with all the medication in the world. The reason is really quite simple. Most people who suffer from depression are prone to it because of a number of factors, not just physical.
Trust me, medication helps some people but it's not the answer. And good luck trying to get off the medication once you are addicted. You'll love the sweats and brain tremors. I wish there was some magic vaccination that cured you after one shot in the ass, but there isn't. And even Dr. House can't surgically remove someones depression.
I will tell you this...writing a blog helps.
Be Well.
Bill
