They simply cannot comprehend the idea that depression can just 'happen', and does not necessarily need a "reason". CarolAnnI'm glad that there are people here trying to understand why they are depressed. I think that it's normal and healthy to question thought processes that might lead to depression, or aggravate an existing condition. For my money, these people make thoughtful confidants.
bob and ginny make a great point-counterpoint team. Sure, their conclusions are different, but how enriching it is to read the reasoning behind their beliefs! If this place simply accepted a psychopharmological viewpoint, I'd suggest that Dr. Bob change the site to Drug-Babble, and I'd say that as my parting shot!
