I am a strong believer of healing via communication, and have seen that happen many times in my personal experiences. Life is a result of the exposures we have, and surely our mind plays a bigger role rather than our brain in our life. Some good examples over your mentioned statement are films, many times just a motivational film or dialogue makes a person feel better.This surely is due to the current state of mind of the person, and not the physical brain that he/she has…Thanks for the excerpt.

To me though, antidepressant only treats the symptom. The root of the antidepressant, just like the root of all suffering, is the mind.

Maybe writing a book about “depression-free tips for life” would be good 😀

Most of the time, depression is caused by external sources. Our society and lifestyle are a huge contributing factor. So, to a great extent, it’s our choice. But we hate to think that we aren’t in control of something, and things that we are in control of, we got it wrong. Not only about depression, when it comes to any disease that could be cured by amending lifestyle, we choose pills over the inconvenience of changing ourselves. It is irresponsible, but we hate to think of ourselves as that either. …very well knowing that no medication is without side effects. Alternate routes like counseling are much more effective with self-effort and discipline. We just need to wrap our heads around the idea of actually doing something to get something instead of ignoring our healths so much as to think that popping a pill will take away all problems and make us all powerful or something!
