Hi again, Chris has made a few points about clinical depression and I would
like to reinterate the points I had made earlier regarding my views on this. I
have quoted below my views on this more succintly but they are only taken from
my original post. Perhaps my bid at humour in the last sentence is a lot lame
but the point I was making is that depression is the result of something else
not manifest. It may be related to mourning or stress or post-partum
fluctuation or family dynamics or trauma but it is the result of something
else. It is something in and of itself but it is also a sign or symptom of
something else as well. I do not adhere to the underlying anger theory but at
the heart of depression there is "sometimes" a place to examine the depth of
the soul to unearth possible sources. Getting out the anger is not a solution
nor is it rooted in love. I am not sure that depression can at all be from a
weak constitution. I wonder if perhaps those who allow things to emerge in the
form of depression may in fact be filled with great courage. I am not a
psychologist. I am not an academic. I understand the benefit of diagnosis and
medication in treatment of depression but I also believe in finding the root.
Chris, if I understand you, you and I are on the same page. Depression has
many causes and it is in and of itself something treatable. But I look to the
insight of the cause of it. What has allowed depression to manifest? The rest
here is from my previous post....... kiitos. Anni

Depression is, of course, a blanketing of something else.
