And by ‘Attitude adjustment’, Anne does indeed mean John Cena’s finishing move in WWE (I hope somebody gets this reference)…
I have to disagree though… There are so many people that try to force choices onto you.
As if to say it’s ‘impossible’ to heal without an artificial, un-natural, man-made substance.
Doctors, in my experience, aren’t always very informed about depression and it’s not just as simple as swallowing some pills.
Their job is just to make money for Big Pharma and anti-depressants are too readily given out.
Trust your gut and see a doctor if you want to, but you’re the one that makes that decision… nobody else.
If medication was so helpful, depression wouldn’t be such a problem.
I like to think long-term, and for me that means realising that one day I’d want to stop taking the drug.. then what?
Even if it worked (I have my doubts), am I just back to square one when I stop taking the meds?
Probably.
Though it can be more difficult without (maybe), it’d just feel 100 times better beating depression for real by yourself, knowing you did it – not some random-ass drug.
