I tried years of therapy but honestly never found a therapist that clicked. I am a very corporate, achievement, “work 80 hours a week” type person and therapists didn’t understand and constantly identified my lifestyle as a source or symptom of my depression which is 100% not true.
The human brain is enormously complex. You can be depressed by patterns of thought, past trauma / historical issues, or simply a chemical imbalance. I firmly believe I had a chemical imbalance and the SSRI fixed it. It was seriously a night and day difference in my life.
I think there are many varied causes of depression and this is why the same techniques don’t work for everyone. But for my situation the drugs worked.
- herbst 6y agoI get depressed from 36 hour weeks. Maybe the therapists arent wrong thinking that 80 hour weeks aint healthy, even if you love your job lessure is super relevant too
