Has anyone heard of "Human Givens Therapy"? I realise this should be diverted, but the subject arose in the context of ADs. They say that if you're depressed your life isn't working. We have basic requirements that are not being met, eg intimacy (not sex necessarily), a sense of belonging to the wider community, a sense of security and of purpose etc. The breakup of extended families since the war has increased the occurrence of depression.
This is the the idea, but it's difficult to get some of these requirements met when you're afraid to go out for example. A key person in all this is Joe Griffin. I don't necessarily believe any of this and I would think ADs have a role at least in getting you started
