I'm not anti-med although I think they need to be improved. Do I think they are the only thing that would help in every case of major depression? No. (But in bipolar yes, as far as I know, although I know less about that.) I wouldn't deny anyone in major depression meds though, I just think the problem for some is more complex and that other things might help them.
I do believe some depressions are caused by environment and that psychological factors are significant. But even in these neurology is involved--depression is a disorder affecting the nervous system, regardless of what causes or alleviates it.
> Now Id like to ask you something. Do you think this sort of mental illness, where the problem is severe deterioration in being able to think clearly...is a brain condition or a "psychological" or "emotional" condition? I personally believe its pure Neurology stuff. How are you going to get someone who cant think clearly back to normal without medical treatment? Its impossible.
