> Scott, I hope your friend finds something that works. Sometimes the public awareness campaign claiming that depression is a treatable disease seems cruel. Not so treatable for some of us.
I think the same thing every time I see one of those annoying ads for an AD, or whenever some publication tries to inform the public about how treatable depression is. I don't think they're referring to severe depression. To me, severe depression is a whole different ballgame. The problem is, when people hear "treatable", they think, cure. Nobody's thinking when they go for medical treatment for a cure that the treatment won't work, or they will have to go through multiple excruciating trial and error with a possibility of very lackluster results.
