exactly
we should refrain from putting conditions into a box

cause at the same time, its the same names that block others from getting treatment

theres no control over and no magic word or route out of

everyone is diff

tbh ive gotten meds before ever even receivin treatment, still havent... been thinkin about it tho

but i felt like i wanted to heal by myself first, since i already been through a similar depressive ep case, now i just knew what it was, what and how it was caused

and the fact that i already had battled this and won without no ones help really in a very toxic envmrnt, made me want to do it more

cause i figured, if my own self is strong enough to fit itself back up
i can do anything

for me depression was a state of mind.

meditation was the most helpful. recognize when my mind became empty and jaded, okay cool. label it move on.

eventually it just disintegrates

Well paid jobs are an antidepressant
Safe housing is an antidepressant
Meaning in your life is an antidepressant
Fresh air, exercise is an antidepressant
High quality relationships is an antidepressant

idk but when the gyms were reopened , I wasn't depressed anymore

This has been my idea as well. If I was ever happy I think beyond a reasonable doubt I knew the cause. The same can be said about myself for feelings of depression (not fitting in, career prospects, family, etc). I realise remaining positive and keeping my mind occupied is probably the best I can do for myself. But I do wonder why my mind state seems so fragile at times. And myself recognizing this cycle makes it even worse because I know I’ll continue to face this until I die. Maybe this continuous cycle of feelings of ups and downs may give credence to the chemical imbalance theory?

I gotta reread this study as I’m interested in how depression was defined. Feeling of depressions and external influences upon your mind is one thing, but what makes us more prone to feelings of depression inthe first place?

This is why CBT is usually recommended as first-line along with SSRIs. But as more information comes out on this I hope there’s more accessibility towards CBT.

Often times it's not one or the other but a combination of the two

yup. unfortunately in Canada wait times for CBT can be 4+ weeks. SSRIs are a good initial treatment, and I recommend them still, but when they take effect after 6-8 weeks (for 50%-full response) it’s often met with non-adherence.

Aside: Also until they do a large-stage trial comparing CBT and SSRIs, an umbrella review doesn’t do as much in altering clinical judgement. There’s still efficacy in chemical “boosting” upon a wide range of psychological disorders - raising energy, mental alertness etc, can have a positive effect on people who are depressed.

try recognizing the cycle with complete indifference.

by doing that you’ve already separated from it

Less people diagnosed doesnt mean less people have it tho right?

cbt is just meditation without sitting down is it not?

Nah, you’re thinking of mindfulness
