I understand what you’re trying to say here and I agree we should be careful prescribing lifestyle changes for serious cases of depression (or any disease for that matter). However, there are a significant number of people out there who _don’t_ have treatment resistant depression and would benefit from lifestyle interventions. I think it’s a good thing for research to be done in that area, and being dismissive of something helpful for many because it doesn’t help those with serious cases isn’t a particularly healthy place to start a conversation from.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoWell good for them, while you accuse me of what you're doing. There is no win-lose suggested, and you're inventing a conflict and blaming me for it. There is negligible research done on TRD and psychiatry is largely an evidence-free clinical practice that doesn't measure or examine the organ it's supposedly treating in any meaningful way. Most psychologists, psychiatrists, and often MDs merely dump bucket of molecules into people's bodies and hope for a net positive outcome by trial-and-error without understanding individual pathophysiology. Genetic tests like GeneSight have so far proved to be selling false hope.
