Anyone else see the 60 minutes show on Dr. Kevorkian? It annoyed me when he talked about how of course his techniques shouldn't be used for people who were depressed; they just needed treatment. People just don't get it! For many of us every treatment on the market hasn't helped. At least if you have cancer, there's an end, however painful, with or without Dr. K., but for people like me with two very painful but non terminal medical conditions plus chronic depression, there is no relief. There's such denial in society. Oprah had a show about depression recently that really ticked me off, she acted like depression was guranteed curable if you just went to the doctor, anyone who had depression was obviously just too stupid to know they were depressed or too stubborn to go to a doctor.
