I am not saying that depression is always due to a underlying psychological cause, I am just saying that some people use this "biochemical argument" to become lazy in other aspects of ones walk to better mental health.
Just like my dad. He pops his cholesterol pills saying that his high cholesterol is purely genetic, while he guzzles them down with a T-Bone steak with sour cream.
I know it is possable to be this way cause I am this way too.
I know that some things definately help my depression such as exercise, eating better, going to church (social events), talking with family, spending time to try an relax, etc etc. But wouldn't it be nice if I could continue to be a workaholic, eat whatever I wanted, be more antisocial, lie on the couch, and have prozac pull me out?
Clearly, even some of the best doctors and psychiatrists know that meds are only just one tool.
Why do you think there are multiple sections of this website? (Ie social, alternative, etc)
