I wonder how often people try the very basic, organic (if you will) things before resorting to chemicals that mess with their brain. I mean - reasonable diet, enough sleep, exercise.
A major part of it seems to be a vicious cycle.
I once went to a Sarah McLachlan concert, and you know, her music can get a li'l "blue". Back in the day I went to a LOT of concerts, being a 20-something guy in NYC. That crowd straight up shocked me. Most seemed morbidly overweight, and many hauled literally buckets of junk food to their seats. I actually left early because the whole scene started bumming me out.
And I would imagine these are the people who would not even try changing their lifestyle and just ask their doctor to make them happy. It's all very sad.

- Nasrudith 6y agoTo be frank it is abundantly clear that you do not know the first thing about depression. It saps motivation first to such an extent that the reason SSRIs are a suicide risk is because they wanted to kill themselves before but didn't have the motivation to actually carry out desires. Saying to "just" make lifestyle changes is like asking why paraplegics just don't start crawling until they can walk and deriding them as lazy because their legs are atrophied.
