Yes I can see the world from the perspective the truly depressed see, one of despair and misery without hope. But even though this dread filled world of depression may seem impossible to battle, it is possible. I'm sure that this list may seem like bad advice to many and that it may be. But as with everything in this world, take what you want from it and leave the rest. Yes chemicals seem like the only fix for a truly unbalanced state of mind but remember the simple biochemistry principle, "if you supply it externally your body will stop making it". SSRI and other depression aids work by tricking the body into not re uptaking serotonin and other brain chemicals. With the higher levels of serotonin supplementation the brain slows down on it own production and therefore if you ever get off the drug you are more likely to be in a worse state than when you started(Bet they didn't tell you that before they gave you that wonder pill to fix everything). The drugs can be a great crutch for those to get their life on track using a pulse therapy approach, AKA only use the drugs as long as you have to to get back on a Positive approach to life, like this list. I feel if more people used the cogitative life alteration that this list tries to convey the result would be greater than just drugs alone. And to the naysayers who will try to sh"t on everything I say, TRY IT BEFORE YOU DENY IT. Good Luck to those who TRY. Wow, how a simple list that can help many people becomes such flame bait.

She's desperate to figure out how to escape the 'moods' that often leave her paralyzed in bed, staring at the wall for days, hopeless. She's tried everything, from diet changes and rigorous exercise to powerful psychotropic drugs...without relief. When someone suggests that she should just adopt a positive attitude and everything will be peachy, I call that bullshit.
