You know what the real problem is- its not knowing if what we call depression is simply self indulgence and cowardly behaviour. I myself know it isnt but I would love to read any scientific information showing that it is actually a brain disease. Does anyone know of any good papers or sites that talk about this?
And as for prozac being a sunshine pill- does anyone know anything about how 'normal' subjects react to it. does it make them 'happy'
I hate that people refer to meds for mental illness as 'lifestyle drugs'.
i feel this is so misunderstood since i think that unless u have had depression u can never truley understand it or even believe it exists.
I would like people to see some cientific/medical information about the reality of depression. Maybe then they can understand Thanks
