My girlfriend intended to suicide herself in December 2014. This was a few months before she met me in March 2015. She's mostly better now.
There are reasons that people feel depressed. American psychiatry does not treat causes, it experiments with drugs that hopefully help the undesired symptoms go away. [1]
I wonder what the mental health system is like in Belgium. If it's anything like the American state-of-the-art, it's ineffective at best.

- bret_maverick 11y agoIn several countries in eastern and western Europe it is pretty much the same (as the American psychiatry). My brother has been depressed for quite some time (about 10-ish years) now and has seen psychiatrists in, for example, The Netherlands. The treatment there was indeed trying out a few different drugs to see what the effect of these is. Fortunately, he is steadily (but slowly) improving but not thanks to drugs and psychiatry(he mostly stopped with any prescription drug 6 months after starting because it didn't do anything besides numbing numbing him).
