Hello bmw,
many people with depression are
sympathetic to others with a similar
illness. This is because they have
empathy with other people. He can
understand their problem and by trying to
help them he may sometimes learn how to
help himself.
On the other hand it is also much like the
situation of the "blind leading the blind'
such as in many self-help organisations.
The "me too I feel like that" may give
some hope to people and let them know they
are not alone.
The problem is that mainstream medicine
has no answers as yet to the problem of
depression, and all they seems to be able
to do to prescribe drugs, a
'one-size-fits-all' approach to
depression. Of course, drugs are
palliative and do not treat the underlying
biochemical causes of depression.
Psychologists are in no better position
because they assume that the symptoms of
depression - irrational thoughts and
feelings - are the causes of depression,
instead of recognizing they are often the
symptoms of an underlying biochemical
abnormality.
The reality is that depression is a
nutritional disorder that can in most
cases be treated without recourse to
drugs.
