My frustration does not lie with those who are truly diagnosed with depression, Rather, my argument lies with those who have a bad day, week, month or even year and like to shout out, "Oh, I'm depressed!" when really all they are, are people who are struggling to deal with adversity in their lives. Adversity, I might add that should they meet it head on and overcome it, they will emerge a much better person for it in the end.
The drug companies are leading the population to believe that if you aren't smiling and whirling around through the park, playing ball with your perfectly bred lab then you must be depressed and if you take "our" pill, you can be as happy as all these other people who are taking our pill(s).
Like it or not I have observed a trend in the work place and out and about. People self diagnosing their 'depression' and they have learned the "DEPRESSION SPEAK" of today so that their Dr.'s are handing out drugs left and right without follow up visits, even.

Gee Dan: By the way, this question was NOT already asked, particularly in THIS WAY, now was it?
I posed a similar question with a different aspect worth considering and wanted to know what others thought.
Just because you fail to see the variables that exist while pondering a subject doesn't mean the rest of the world should be so shallow.
Now why don't you grab that mirror you were talking about and face the anger inside you head on?

AMEN to that! Very well said.
I went through some tough times with my teenage daughter a couple years ago. I had depression, anxiety, couldn't sleep -- and wide range of fun emotions. I went to the doctor for the flu, and she asked me why I was obviously not happy. When I told her, she wanted to prescribe an antidepressant. I told her no, that I was circumstantially depressed, and that this too shall pass. Guess what? It did -- with no drugs!!! Can you imagine? As my circumstances improved, I felt better and better. I think the prescription craze causes our kids (particularly teens) to believe that they aren't supposed to show emotions, especially intense ones.
I am so with you on this. Thanks for posting it!

you recognize, all those of my forebears who got here to this united states found out English with a view to be waiting to communicate with the terrific share of the inhabitants, and that's fairly lots what an 'stable language' is. So, specific, i think of so. Heck, even people who did not to migrate talk English! there is not any denying the unifying consequences of a typical tongue and a commonality in cultural observances, like working example, Thanksgiving. And, with each and all of the divisive efforts leveled at us over the years, we choose each and all of the commonality we are able to scrape mutually. And, to Walter B--living languages have modifications and differing flavors, because of the fact human beings variety, yet as long as they are in a position to understand one yet another, that's nonetheless working. in case you stumble on it too perplexing, perchance you may desire to evaluate retiring to someplace the place the language is extra homogeneous. BTW, tha Gaidhlig agam. additionally slightly Spanish, a dab of French, a smidgen of Greek, and that i do talk Latin, the two vulgate and patrician. I actually have a typical Midlands accessory. so which you're actually not the only one right here who qualifies as semi-polylingual. yet I nonetheless think of the rustic desires a unifying tongue, and English has the historic, and as yet numeric, area.

This is how you people are raised to be and behave, to smile and be happy all the time. This is what I noticed in Americans in general. In my country (Romania) everybody is sad, depressed, we are not used to smiling on the streets and nobody complains about. We are not advised to take pills for depression

True. Mostly though, they don't give out pills that actually make you feel good. Those I recieved didn't make the tiniest bit of difference in me.

I agree, in our culture you are expected to be 'on' all the time, you can't stop to think. Its ridiculous.
