Why? They help to rewire your brain and help you detach from a lot of the things and ideas. Not a silver bullet (depression is one of several, natural, human states) but may help some who want to avoid the pharmacological route.
Stocism (actually reading Meditations by Marcus Auralius, not just "stiff upper lip" BS) and exercise were all that worked for me. If you're suffering please try those and note how you feel the next day, 2 days, 3 days.
I do not know how many people here have "Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorders" but I am on disability for all three and it runs in my family on my mother's side. So what is this article saying? Me and my family just do not have perseverance? That we lack the "will" not to be depressed and anxious? That I just need to "Aspir[e] toward personal and career goals"? HA! No, it's not true. You see, they found we all have a…
I am curious. How does protein intake affect mental health?
Since we do not make enough BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin) with this enzyme deficiency we cannot metabolize the amino acids needed to make serotonin, dopamine, and Nirtic Oxide. And then some of these amino acids turn into trace amines that act like meth.

The more I am unfortunately exposed to this after catching ME/CFS the more I realise medicine has a huge professionalism problem. Maybe a better term is a religious problem. Anything they cant currently explain is the patients fault. Having chronic energy fatigue issues is just me being lazy apparently and the enormous crashes I get after exercise are me doing wrong. The hundreds of thousands of c19 patients that dev…
Both myself and my mother were diagnosed with ME at one point.
And I agree, even when my tests came back weird my primary care doctor would say, "What do you want to do now?"

Part of it is systemic though. Those that do have professional curiosity are unable to explore it due to constraints by insurance companies. Overall cost is the primary motive instead of quality of life. I imagine working in the medical industry is very disappointing for people that entered it with the intention of helping people.

Out of curiosity, what country offers disability benefits for these conditions? This is for me a (as a fellow sufferer of some of these conditions, who has never received any state support and doesn't even have health insurance) an extremely shaky moral ground. Because 95% of the homeless population and drug addicts are clinically diagnosable of most of these conditions under DSM IV definitions. And almost none of th…
I am in the U.S. and I am lucky because I am white and my OCD kept me from using any drugs to cope. But I was hospitalized several times and had a few suicide attempts, plus my family history. Those are all big factors in getting disability.
If you are homeless and do not have an address there is zero chance to get disability. That is why we should house them first without any qualifications. Or maybe they justneed to set better goals. :)

This is true, but smart doctors know how to work the system. But I am on medicare so it might be easier for my doctor.

The deficiency causes problems with amino acid metabolism, which themselves mess up the brain.
The depression was a mere symptom of the underlying disease. When you read the DSM, you realize there are no mental illnesses, just syndromes: sets of signs and symptoms. Except in select few cases, the pathophysiology is unknown.

I would guess most European welfare states offer disability benefits for severe depression. For example Finland has disability pension system for people who are verified by a doctor unable to work anymore. Severe depression is an acceptable condition for this benefit.

Given I am in the UK alas that doesn't explain the issue. The USA is a bit of a unique unicorn in its for profit system but the world over there are these issues. I understand why the public is like that, a lot of people don't understand the scientific method but doctors have done all 3 of the sciences and then gone on for another 6 years of graduate and post graduate study.
