You're right, fixing is the wrongf terminology to use because depressed peoplr aren't broken per se. It's harmful to suggest they are especially since thinking that is one of the core tenets of depression. Fwiw I don't think mental changes treat depression. I think they're the result of treating it. At the least they go hand in hand with the process. Mental changes aren't a sufficient step to get out of depression, but they are a required step. It's hard to put these things into words because they're on the intuitive side of my brain, but thanks for the chance to try. As for the downvoters, screw 'em. I got points to burn. Maybe what I'm saying can help some people make some sense of the process.
