I take pills to control cholesterol, not because I eat unhealthily but because of a genetic disposition; another person will take pills to balance their serotonin levels not because they are "fed up" but because they don't make enough in their brains. People have to be helped to get the advice they need and, if need be, the medication - or the CBT or whatever. And I always include people who suffer from depression in the Intercessions when I do them in church. I'm glad you're coming out of it for now. xxChristine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425467714938541430.post-22466474410228003522012-10-07T19:00:00.741+01:002012-10-07T19:00:00.741+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.rental mobil jakartahttp://griyamobilkita.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425467714938541430.post-9646347116415894962012-10-06T14:04:07.678+01:002012-10-06T14:04:07.678+01:00And still people don't "get it".... ...And still people don't "get it".... which is why so many folk with depression put on the mask that "all is alright". Society demands that we be normal and when you can't maintain the mask of normality anymore and your world falls apart.... that's when you find out who your true friends are. <br />Cats Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484515557772295478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425467714938541430.post-68477355503765745572012-10-06T12:37:43.387+01:002012-10-06T12:37:43.387+01:00Just heard today that a super guy, a well-respecte...Just heard today that a super guy, a well-respected lawyer in Dumbarton committed suicide this week through depression.
