My point is that "It will never be better" is objectively wrong for most people. There is a very small portion of patients who indeed don't improve after years of treatment, but for the absolute majority depressions can be treated in weeks or months. I don't disregard anyones "feelings" if I call these feelings irrational. But these feelings are obviously caused by a temporary state of the mind. I did have those feelings, but I learned early on to not take them as seriously as they looked at first. But it's hard to get to this perspective, I know. A Depression undermines the patient's ability and will to fight it. Some patients develop elaborate delusions about why they are this way. Most patients have less obvious "delusions" where they believe something not completely extraordinary but still wrong and harmful, like not being worthy of life. I can recomment the youtube video "Sapolsky on depression", he explains depression from a biological viewpoint.
