> There are a certain group of people out there who have experienced depression that responds to their own will power. THese people who have helped themselves feel that because they conquered depression through thought that anybody can do it. I would argue that people such as these are either not depressed at all, or are chronically depressed and fight drugs as a way of asserting their controll over their situation.
I don't think it's as black and white as mind or body, and I don't think the treatment a person responds to should determine the severity of their illness. I agree, it is inappropriate to criticize someone for choosing a different path than your own.
