Loved that article about depression. It reminds me of atheism. The worst part about atheism is that means nothing is about anything, the way the established medical experts don’t think depression is about anything. “There’s no reason for it, just fix it.” So they use pills, which invalidates and masks the message from the soul, in my opinion.

A great quote from that article:

“Thomson has cut back on antidepressant prescriptions, because, he says, he now believes that the drugs can sometimes interfere with genuine recovery, making it harder for people to resolve their social dilemmas. “I remember one patient who came in and said she needed to reduce her dosage,” he says. “I asked her if the antidepressants were working, and she said something I’ll never forget. ‘Yes, they’re working great,’ she told me. ‘I feel so much better. But I’m still married to the same alcoholic son of a bitch. It’s just now he’s tolerable.’ ”

The point is the woman was depressed for a reason; her pain was about something. While the drugs made her feel better, no real progress was ever made.”
