You Cannot Cure Depression with Depression
When are people going to realize that you cannot use Anti Depressions pills to cure your depression? Anti Depressions pills are only use to reduce the affects of depression, not to cure it. There is really no cure for it and the only way to avoid it is to do something constructive with your life instead of enjoying life while using substances. People who are diagnosed with depression needs to realize they are not a depression, they are just experience by it.

Clinical depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Antidepressants help correct that balance and allow the patients to start doing something constructive.
You wouldn't tell someone with a broken leg to "just walk".
You wouldn't tell someone with diabetes "just eat right, that insulin you're taking only fights the symptoms!"
So why tell someone with a chemical imbalance in their brain that they just need to realize that they "are not depression they just experience it"?
"You are not cancer, you just experience it!" sounds shitty, doesn't it.
on point!
