I had some conversation with my brother, a Naturopathic Dr. Here is one and part of another of the emails he sent. I won't bore you with my agitated long response but I think it is relevant to this discussion:

"As a doctor, I see a lot of depressed people. What I observe is that most people, depressed or not, are passive in their lives. I try to motivate them to be an active participant. Of course this takes a little more than just a change in attitude. Though this is the place to start. Takes also, determination and persistence and just as importantly learning of some skills, call them coping/social/interpersonal skills. It is a bit of trial and error learning. One of the skills you might call failure acceptance though another may call it humility; trying and failing miserably many times, but accepting and learning along the way."

"So as a naturopathic doctor, I find this is maybe my most important treatment modality...to teach active participation in life. It truely makes a difference"
