Depression: A different angle on it.
The situation:
I'm not depressed, and still people think I should be.
WTF!?
Before I begin: Some people are really depressed and that's a bad thing, and it's good that there are medicine to make their lives bearable.
BUT
Life can present all kinds of bullshit that can be very depressing as well. And then people can think that you are depressed. Even if you are not.
What do I mean by that?
When someone is feeling depressed even without a clear reason to be depressed that's what I would name a real depression. One that may be treated with medication.
But when someone is feeling bad due to circumstances that he or she cannot control. That's different in many ways.
At this point it is very clear that bad feelings, 'the depression', have a cause.
But still, there are people that think medication can solve those problems when it simply can't do anything but give fake happiness.
And instead of looking at the real prolem, and find a solution for that they point at the pharma solution.
And sure not all peobelms can be solved. For instance when there is goverment involved. Bureaucrats never will admit when they make a mistake, and even when you have proof then they may refuse to do ANYTHING to make things right. Well that's also depressing, and it keeps being a problem. But it can never be fixed by any pharmaceutical poison, as most medicine damage the body as a "side effect".

In this case you are NOT depressed. You should not poison yourself with pharma bullshit.
The only thing you can do is stick with the facts, and find strength in that. This will not fix the problem, but it will make you see that you are not depressed even at moments when you may feel very bad about it.
Don't poison a healthy brain and body. Just stand above the bullshit and be happy.
I hope this post can help anyone. Even as it will not fix the real problem, it at least will keep the poison out of your body.

The main problem with Western Medicine is that they don't treat the cause of the problem, the choose to focus on the symptoms and reducing the effects of those symptoms.
Doctors and Big Pharma don't make money curing people they make money treating people. The sooner people figure that out, the sooner they can start leading a better life.
Just my thought,

It's just thoughts like this that need to get out there more more often.
People have to realise that nobody can tell you to poison yourself simply because someone else wants to make a profit.
On top of that people need people to solve the real problems. Thats the part that's missing.
People don't help people. Specially when a government is in the mix. 'The gov can't be wrong.' Is what most people think. And then its time to get back to their own 'often shitty' lives. Being subject of the tax lords.
Exactly, we only need to look into us for the solution to our problems and not always rely on drugs to relieve us of our pain. Great speech
yes, look deeper and find the real root of the problem. And stick with that, even if it is not getting solved. Stick with the facts and feel good about it.
I am also against medicine to cure depression or everything else.
How to know if you are depressed?
Well, sometimes, when people really have depression (the illness), they don't realize it - they are just depressed with no reason. And even if they have reasons they don't want to do anything about it, they don't take advises, they can't find happiness in the world around them. This is how I know someone really needs help.
But, as I've written in my post, medicine is not the answer for depression and I agree with you.
exactly,
And it often (always?) even more complicated then other people realise.
Nobody really has time to look a tiny bit deeper. And pharma takes advanage of that by offering 'a simple solution to chemical happiness'
People need people to get to a better place. Else they just stay trapped in the pharma dungeon.
Same without meds...
And lets not forget those who do 'self medication' with alcohol, or other drugs.
Its difficult enough to deal with people, and drugged people are much more difficult to deal with, simply because you then need to figure out what part of the behaviour is affected by the drug. Even when it is a positive one.
