Anything examining the paradigm of solving depression with antidepressants doesn't get it. Depression is not something to be dominated and rushed away. The dynamics that cause it for each person are filled with clues of how to solve it and meaningful and sustainably improve that person's life.
Our minds tell us a lot, but we are terrible listeners.
- mahathu 6y agoI don't disagree, but when you link a paper, I think you should disclose that you're the sole author.

- slfnflctd 6y ago> Depression is not something to be dominated and rushed away. Agreed. That is how you end up with constantly escalating self-medication in my experience. When I realized all psychiatry had to offer me was drugs I was highly skeptical of (and yes, I did try a few), I decided to just switch to drugs I actually like. It does the trick, but it could be hurting my long term health more than it's worth. I certainly don't seem to be making any progress in my productivity or the quality of my choices, both of which could use a lot of improvement.
- MaximumYComb 6y agoMy experience with depression, an isolated major depressive episode that lasted most of a year, suggests that antidepressants were highly effective. I didn't feel like any clues were to be found. It felt much more like a chemical switch in my brain was in the wrong position.
