> And just because some brain chemistry thing is concurrent with some mental state does not mean we should discount the experiential aspect by saying 'Well, this chemical change causes that mental state and therefore....'What do you mean here by the 'experimental aspect'?
EVERYTHING has it's genesis in the brain. Even if it's an external trauma- it is INSIDE the brain.....This universe, is, in a very real sense, contained within our own brains.
> We can really learn by listening to each other.I disagree. We can NOT learn by the mere act of listening to another. We have to process, interpret, their words. We must sometimes be active in this process. Most of all, we must let time allow this data to 'sink' in.....we can never force change...
> When I hear someone say they are depressed I immediately want to ask (I know it sounds cheesy)
> 'What does it feel like for you?'What point are you trying to make here?
> In other words perhaps and for example, I prefer 'dark night (decade?) of the soul' to 'psychotic depression'.I dismiss all psychiatric labels at this point in time...................
