Thirty years ago my uncle who was suffering from clinical depression committed suicide.

What a dopey thing to say; may you never know the feeling (or lack of feeling) of true depression.

That’s exactly what happens. The oddball in the “Grizzly Man” movie stopped taking his meds (he was bi-polar), and in probably the only rational thought he expressed he stopped them because he felt that highs and lows (which are compressed by medication to keep a more even keel) were part of being human, and he had no interest in living with neither of them. Unfortunately, his troubled mind ended up paying the ultimate price (as did his girlfriend).

The FR Memorial Wall is occupied by many who suffered from depression.........It's an awful sickness and nothing that should be made light of............

Well, your original reply read to me like you were agreeing with the “spoiled brats” posters. If you really know what a major depressive episode feels like, I sincerely apologize.

With due respect, this is NOT just a first world problem
India has the highest depression rate -- and India is definitely more spiritual than other countries. The USA, France, Netherlands and India have the highest rates according to the above -- Not much in common
There is another one that gives

Funny that you never even acknowledged my apology.
Just curious.
Apology stands.

I suffer from severe depression and never actually get out of it. Of course, it’s been worse for the past 2 years since my cherished husband died, because he was also a medical doctor with a practice in psychiatry.
I found a good psychiatrist here but it took 6 months with him before I had to tell him “to take charge.” He was ceding too much authority to me in deference to my late husband, and I wanted him to prescribe a med he thought suitable for me. He finally did, (the old Paxil) and Praise God, it’s working much better than Celexa.
I can’t recall the name of the most effective one, but my insurance doesn’t cover it.
RoosterRedux, you’re right about the physical exercise. I continue to wait for warm weather given that I canceled my gym membership.
God bless and keep you all.

I was depressed today and got on my rowing machine for 30 minutes. It pulled me back from the brink.
Hang tough beloved Onyx. Hang tough.
