    I suppose there is the opportunity that I was confused between the generation of anti depressants of a generation before prozac, which had a different purpose.

     

    I guess I read the line that said that not all depression isn't chemical in origin in the wrong way sorry.

     

    Although it's origin my be from the outside it will ultimately given enough time affect the neuro chemical absorbtion. At which point environmental depression wil become a chemical problem.

     

    I do however as someone who has suffered depression twice think it would be an idea for those with it to make at least one change in their life, not in the way they think, but simply to take out overly stressful stimuli or to do something for themselves.

     

    A trend I have found with depressives is the tend to be people pleasers or tend to do alot for others and sometimes neglect to do something for themselves. (This isn't always true, it is something I have noticed). Perhaps it is time that some if not all depressives did something good for themselves.

     

    The outside world does suck when it comes to pre judging depressives and those with a mental disorder. We have done nothing to deserve this affliction (I have in some respects found it benificial to have depression, each time I have found a direction to take my life and made me think about what I wasnt instead of others) A little thought and understanding wouldn't go amiss.

     

    (APOLOGY, sorry TUH if I managed to offend you, I have just taken my meds and the side effect to prozac is sleepyness for me)

    TUH, I agree not all depression is internal stimuli related. but It would be a good idea for all ppl to see a consellor, making changes in your life helps, it doesn't cure.

     

    At the end of the day, the distinction between whether it is an outside or internal causation has been determined by the psychiatric community to be a dangerous distinction. I tend to believe it is a simple malfunction of a specific gland making a neuro-chemical. You may see it as something else. I have to live with it. I have to find the most plausible explination to me.

     

    It is true that people do suffer judgement. My boss a depresive herself hates the thought, I feel she doesn't understand what she has. She feels that conselling is the only thing that can help her, I hope it is true.

     

    I have always said that combination therapies when it is conselling and drugs is a good idea, in the cases it needs to be done in. Others can have one oor the other.

     

    We may have differing opinions. I welcome that.There is a culture of over medicating, but why? each country, has an over stressed country and so drug regimes are a way around it and in the end a cost cutting affair. for example a drug regeime like the generic version of prozac that I am on cost less than 20 dollars to a person/healthcare provider/health system. A counsellor can charge thousands respectively over the course of a few weeks. Doctors have a budget to maintain as do people. I don't think medicating is the way for all. but it does help a large percentage.
