I think there are a number of non biological reasons why more people are depressed these days.
What frightens me the most, is that the more we make this disease of depression into a "chemical imballence" the more we ignore some of the more plausable reasons why people are more depressed.
It is just so "convenient" for us to chalk up all of our problems, to a chemical imballence. We can't control what happens "out there" but we can control our own brains, right?
I think that most people are depressed these days for valid reasons, and that medications may be a nice feild trip from whats really wrong, but how long can it last. What is poop out?
My school life is pretty crappy. I hate what I do. I don't want to bother to think about all of the things that I would need to change in order to make my life more tollerable.
It is easier for me to live in my magical little world, where I can controll all of my problems with various chemial substances.
I'm not saying this applies to everybody.
