Q: depression treatment

I don't really understand why people are still in notion that there is something out there which can cure their depression.why don't they simply accept the fact that there is no cure for depression.Accept the fact and let the numbness grow in you to such a extent that you no longer feel like being alive(like i did).THERE IS NO CURE FOR DEPRESSION.The only thing you(i should use "we" rather than "you") can do is count your days and hold tight till the ride is over.Some stupid medicine wont cure your pain,can't make you feel good,can't get you friends,can't get you a normal life which you always wanted to have. I think god is making us to go through this only because we are the chosen one's.AMEN

Reading this I wonder if you are depressed? I know that no pill has ever helped me, but others it has, otherwise there wouldn't be any pill on the market because no one would continue to buy them. Other people find solace in different things like changing their lifestyle or diet, or taking up something that they like, or getting some sort of support, etc.

You have your own "cure" for your depression too, believe it or not. I see that you have found comfort that you are a "chosen one". Everyone has their pill. It's just that not all pills come in a prescription.

What made you think I'm not depressed. You don't know what i go through every second of my life(You are talking like a typical doctor who sees us as just one more patient. they don't feel what we are going through.) And all the pills available in market are just results of approximate clinical trials.there is no perfect cure.

I'm not a doctor. I'm a mom of 6 ages 8 and under who never gets out of the house, who has no life at all apart from that. I cannot begin to tell you what I go through every second of my life either, and my past is sometimes something that some people will never never be able to understand for it's complexity.

For my hobby, partly because it's all I have time for and all I can afford right now, and partly because I enjoy it, I come here to listen to people's problems and yes, I do help a whole lot of people and I treat everyone as an individual.

If you have read any of the stories on here, you will see that there are a lot of people who have actually been helped my pharmaceuticals and bravo for them if they can be helped by that. Most people who are depressed have some sort of understanding about others who also have their same condition, which is why I wondered if you were depressed, not that I thought that you weren't.

Anger is also a part of depression, but it can also be a disorder all on it's own. You seem like a very angry person. Do you want to talk about why you are so angry about the pills out there? No one said there was a complete cure for depression for everyone. Some people as individuals have been able to cure themselves by whatever means, but no pill actually claims to do everything.....they are only there as a means of helping people enjoy a happier life....a crutch if you will.

You are free to vent and ask for advice. That's what we are all here for. None of us are doctors, unless you want to post under the "Ask a Doctor" tab in the forum.

I'm not an angry person and sorry, if you feel I'm being rude to you about that doctor thing. To be frank I've never been to a doctor and don't believe in going to them(it make situations more worse). i think doctors see you just as one more patient. they don't really understand what we go through. i believe this can be cured only by people. i mean some friend,some stranger coming out of no where and being with you and making you feel good. but not doctors. i think you have been under medication and if yes what exactly you go through under medication. i don't know what to do and whom to ask(going to a psychiatrist is not easy in the part of the world where i live.it's very different from yours.).the only thoughts I'm having are suicidal one's.don't know what to do.......and writing all this here.........
