In reply to Depression/SAD caused by disfunctional parenting??, posted by bridge on October 29, 2003, at 14:21:35
> Hi,
> I'm wondering if Depression/SAD is caused by unstable surrounding growing up. Say, my brain chemisty function is somewhat vulnerable to the illness and having disfunctional family(however you define it) triggers the illness?I think that's preety accurate. Somepeople are born tall, others short. Some are born with robust neurotransmition which can withstand trauma, others are born with weaker neurotransmition- just waiting for a trauma (all at oce or gradually) to put a spoke in the wheel of neurotransmition.
> Anyone here at this forum having happy, loving family growing up(again however you define it) yet suffering from the illness anyway??
> I have been on several AD's over past two years and now trying to tame my emotion with psycho therapy along with my meds...Just wondering, any thoughts???I think psychotherapy is nonsense. I think you have to stop asking outside sources for advice and find it in yourself- easier said than done sometimes. I just think therapy confirms the poor self-esteem of the patient. From the outset there is a power structure where therapist is superior- use friends as therapists or yourself.
That's just my opinion but- so call me a moron if you disagree!
Take care,
Ace.
