You could not imagine someone from the former communist block thinking like this.I always think that bliss might well live within them, but they have obviously vever had a deep melancholic depression, or any other serious psychological problem. Walk a mile in my shoes and all that.
I'm lucky, i have a pretty bure biological depression, which responds extremely well to NARI type drugs, but i see so many people given and taking SSRI's because they are dissatisfied with life, love and the universe..... basicly the same reason half the housewives in Australia were taking Valium and Librium in the 70's - because their doctors feel they need to do somthing, and arnt sure what else they can do.
