I don't believe in depression

@puck61 Yes....true..a very legit study. But people who do not cooperate with medication will not help their selves. Some here doesn't even want to be cured..and that is attitude. There are also conservative ways before it starts..and all the roots of that stimuli are incapable of control because they don't know themselves, lack of self reflection..In poorer countries depression is less experience because people are striving their life to be productive and leave unnecessary emotions

@Sepia I've noticed that bipolar disorder is often disregarded in England. I eat healthy and consume mass quantities of cayenne pepper and ginger and lemon juice, and I no longer need the tons of medication that they try to give me, and the world inside my brain keeps getting larger and larger. It's working well for me, but the 'enlargement of awareness' brings it's own unique sorrow.

@puck61 Tis true, i eat healthy, exercise, eat foods high in tyrosine and those that promote serotonin and it helps. Also take L-theanine (basically concentrated green tea at a dose level) when i'm feeling particularly anxious.

@Sepia I do feel a lot of people would like to be cured but a lot of people do just dwell in it and don't do anything to actually improve their life. I had CB therapy to address my negative thought patterns and over a long period of time managed to gain a more positive attitude. I had to go on SSRIs to give myself a glimpse that it was possible first though, also adopted positive thinking.
Problem is most depressed people are very self reflective but are seeing everything through a dirty lens so to speak, which is the fault of low serotonin 90% of the time.

I'm still very flat/neutral and don't get excited or motivated though off medication regardless of those things, which is just chemical.

@puck61 Happy to hear that you made a preventive measure not lead to sickness. Continue to have a good insight

@Sepia Thank you. I hope people understand that you didn't intentionally mean to negate any 'depression' that one might have but to describe a potential escape route,
I believe, that when it comes to mental health issues, the law of attraction applies more than usual! Positive affirmation and a yen yang balance in diet and activity can lead to freedom.

@Gh0s1 I see. I've seen information on numbers on that there are huge portion of resistance to cure. If they are indeed self reflective why in the world it did not cross into their mind of not leading themselves to depression

@Sepia This is not well received but for some, bipolar disorder, depression, borderline personality disorder, etc etc....are 'fads' and 'trends'. In many cases 'self harm' is simply the 'in thing' to do. For a time 130 years ago, tuberculosis "The consumption" was a popular disease to have. It was 'trendy'. This happens in cultures that lack culture.

@puck61 As you see "trendy" just to thrive attention and burden to others. My step daughter wanting to have an expensive cam..when we didn't give the cam as she has still have another one still in functioning and in good condition..and she started to cut herself as if we don't feed her, as if she isn't well provided. It brought shame to our family..she have shown cuts to her friends and classmates in school thinking it was cool. See, she is asking for sick kind of attention for being selfish.....sulking..starving herself because she can't have the camera..our fridge are full..she goes freaking as if we don't work hard for her to go to school and supply all her needs
...back in my post, that is how I see depression is rooted from attitude of self centeredness

@Sepia I remember that being a thing in high school when the whole emo thing started again. Also people self analysing themselves incorrectly and wanting attention at that age.

Oh wow, well that explains why you think that way then. That's really messed up to do that..Yeah that's not real depression at all but that will certainly create it in the future if she's doing that kind of thing at that age..sorry to hear

@Gh0s1 not just that..I have been through a lot and still that is my perception.
