So you STATE depression is not a medical condition/ That, if you try hard enough, a person can just undo it.
And your MD is in what, exactly?
You’re a bit hostile, aren’t you? Kindly do not rephrase and misrepresent my comment. I shall not respond to you further.
Don't let this secret out, but depression is a physical condition, and is what generates the mental condition.
We treat it medically (medicinally), but, like most of our MEDICAL problems, we treat the symptoms, and not the cause.
Yes, there are some whose brains aren't wired right, and in their case, medicines are sometimes the only relief.
I suspect that some who are 'clinically' depressed, are not, and some who are not diagnosed that way, are.
I'm not sure we (current medicinal/psychiatric practice in the US) are that good at diagnosing that precisely.
