Yes, your mileage may vary, as they say. Our bodies are all unique and so are our responses. It was a miracle for me, it might be completely ineffective for someone else.
- colechristensen 4y agoI think it is more, or different than "our bodies are unique" and something else entirely. Saying someone has "depression" is like saying someone has "a stomach ache". The stomach ache might be Crohn's, an ulcer, food poisoning, or the aftermath of too many hot wings. All would show at least a somewhat similar cluster of symptoms, different based on the person, but all "stomach ache". Imagine the same for depression, but we don't necessarily have the labels or causes pinned down very well. There probably are many conditions under depression that we'll eventually have good diagnoses for and consistent treatments for, just not yet. It's not a matter of "everybody is unique" but that the science and testing is quite primitive so far and only some of the distinctions and treatments have been worked out.
- tsol 4y agoDepression is a symptom, not exactly an illness. I mean we often treat it like one-- and call that Major Depressive Disorder-- but I expect in the future we'll be able to break it down to 'inflammatory disorder causing symptoms of depression', 'trauma disorder leading to symptoms of depression', etc
