depression.
Is that just created by our society? So many layers of "stuff" that depression is caused. Then the cure? Drugs....
maybe I'm lazy and weak, but since we hit on the right combination of medications, I no longer cut myself compulsively, I don't want to kill myself,
I feel better. (better as in, I can get out of bed, not better as in happy.) being on these drugs gives me a shot at a productive life. fifty years
ago, I probably would have been instutionalized for much of my life. don't doubt that clinical depression is truly a mental illness (and
clinical/major depression, aka dysthymia, is distinct from common depression), and as overused and maligned as psychotropic drugs are, they do have
legitimate uses.
