I respect Cam's opinion and I think he raises some issues that are controversial but are well worth discussing. I disagree with the blanket or black and white view of depression as either a organic brain disorder, or the idea that it is just a matter of going to therapy and "pulling oneself up by one's own bootstraps". As I said in my post- depression is complex. Theories that borrow metaphors such as bandages to explain the action of anti-depressants are extremely over-simplified.
That being said it is good to dialog about these issues- let's not get our udders in a bunch! (Poor humor I know)
