> “Fix the causes”
How, exactly? Yes, some people experience depression as a symptom of something than can be addressed through various therapies, but what about people who just have it wired into their brains? How do we “fix” that?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoEven if it is wired into certain brains, that wiring may only cause depression when it interacts with our modern technological society.

I’m talking about that “wake up on a warm sunny day in a house with your loving family and feel like jumping off the roof” kind of depression. That “everything can be going great and you can’t get out of bed” depression. The kind of depression that isn’t “cured” by turning off your phone or going off the grid. And it certainly isn’t “cured” by antidepressants, however, they can make a huge impact on quality of life for many people.
- piva00 3y agoHave you or a close loved one ever had clinical depression? Diagnosed by a professional which required help? It's a very strange take if you ever had any personal and direct contact with it, it's not only caused by "modern technological society" even though it's pretty aggravated by it.
