RE: Depression is a symptom, not a disease
I agree. The demand for us to perform at greater efficiency has risen to an inhumane level, the treadmill of bills, credit debt and taxes a growing weight as many are left with little to no time to reflect on life, have meaningful family time or build a strong community. There has been an ongoing disconnect among communities warned about as far back as the 60's in a book called FutureShock.
Add to this the way they poison the foods, the water, the psyche through media and our bodies even more through medicine. I have read enough books and articles now, coupled with government behavior to believe much that comes from the pharmaceutical industry is designed to weaken us and keep us on a treadmill of more pills. I would suggest that under current conditions from the onslaught of poisoning to both mind and body, it would be unnatural for many not to be depressed. The cure isn't some pill, or you might as well concede that illegal drugs could do the trick as well, or go get that bottle of alcohol. The answer is in stopping the enslavement, forcing people to be cattle to dreams of the rulers who believe they own us.
Putting people on pills is a good way to stop them questioning their lives and how society works in general. They aren't called happy pills for nothing.
