"Depression feeds on ignorance"
Says the DC editorial staff"
"Depression feeds on ignorance, engaging the problem means getting information out to the public. People need to know that depression can be treated—it’s a matter of biology, not character."
Well, you know, character is a matter of biology, too. The fact that something depends on biology doesn't mean it requires drugs to treat it. You could consider any thought to be a "chemical imbalance." And, of course, therein lies the problem of depression: too much thought.
Sadly, treatment for depression is a bit of a sham. It's really just "which mental disorder would you like to have? You can trade in your depression for hyperactivity, if you like. We've also got bipolarity, if you prefer variety." Thank God for psychology.
