It's just a good fake job. Lots of practice. I learned a few years ago the worst thing for a suicidal depression is to not get out of bed, to not go work, to not sit down and do a hobby even though it is totally lifeless and joyless, to give in to the monster. The monster wins and gets stronger when that happens. The brain needs to be continuously exercised and nudged in the correct direction. Sometimes that takes immense effort, as does any forced exercise. This doesn't lead to remission, but it does prevent things from getting worse, and things can actually get a notch or two better.

They gently gradually lost effectiveness over about a year's time, after 7 decent years. Higher doses made me much worse. There was no option, my prozac zyprexa days were over.
