Sorry but you sound like some sort of motivational speaker who doesn't want to listen to a doctor.

People with depression already take care of themselves, but they can't just go in the Himalayas or south america or change jobs to heal depression.

You're comparing people who have unhealthy habits and telling them to stop drinking or smoking or anything a doctor already says.

Please stop pretending you have some insight on this. Let doctors and therapists do their job.



Having been on both sides of it, I have insight into it.

It's up to you if you want to defend that status quo of "cope with the life you've got - drugging yourself or paying expensive therapists if necessary to do so".

But it's important that others hear that there's another more effective way. That they can simply opt out of that tunnel vision, that they don't have to give in to the fear of disappointing others or "ruining the career" or just plain old fear of the unknown, and change their lives for the better.
