In reply to NYTimes interesting depression coverage..., posted by dj on February 22, 2000, at 17:29:31
dj, I found your post very interesting. Depression causes are not a black and white issue. There's a lot of grey, in that, some depressions are genetic, some are reactive, and some are both. It makes a lot of sense that someone spending so much time trying to live up to someone else's expectations, would eventually just shut down completely. Articles like this are the reason that I believe that people suffering depression should be open to the idea of talk therapy as well as medication. It's unfortunate that a lot of people are just looking for the "magic" pill, when therapy or a combination might be more helpful.
dj, thanx for yet another, great post!CarolAnn
