Depression is different man - its not something you can "will" away. At a certain point on the downward slope of depression its hard to fix without medication.

Depression is different man - its not something you can "will" away. At a certain point on the downward slope of depression its hard to fix without medication. I liked your slides. :) Thats the kind of advice I dish out - more because my dad was in the Navy and thats what I used to receive from him. But the truth is, it doesnt help in anyway when your trying to support/help someone who is depressed. Truth is you could have the best career, a loving girlfriend and $300K in the bank and you could still be depressed. Its got nothing to do with his external life - its an internally (biologically) created situation.
