> in some cases the thought<->physiology<->environment feedback cycle that traps one in depression can be addressed not by willpower, but by selectively interrupting whatever part of the feedback cycle is easiest to access or most pronounced for a particular depressed person. I've wondered about that for many years, and it's the strategy I adopted for myself a very long time ago, but I've seen scant evidence for either its effectiveness for most other people or any evidence for its basis in reality. Like I just said elsethread, I'm more concerned here with other people misinterpreting the suggestions being offered and then sharing those with people with depression in a way which is ultimately harmful. I'm probably being a little louder than I need to be about it.
