- michaelochurch 14y agoSuccess cures depression that is caused by lack of success or, relatedly, low social status. That doesn't apply to most depression, that being often a serious biological problem. No amount of success will cure that. That requires psychiatric help. It does alleviate a certain gnawing unhappiness that most ambitious people experience (unless the definition of success is raised, which it often is).
