: : Depression is a DECISION - and so are excuses. Don't know what happened to my first post of this response, but... If it were true that depression is a decision, I could (and would) have
decided to be not depressed long ago. Where is this point of view coming
from? I'm not aware of any literature, including the more whacked-out new age
stuff, that supports this. Even the cognitive therapy folks maintain that
depression results from thought distortions over which the person has
little conscious control until addressed.
: PS - flame all you want. You don't have to be nice to me. ;>
Sure I do. :-) But I agree with adavis that your judgements about mental
illness are insensitive and unkind.
