True, it is good!
With regards depression, I try to tell myself:
- I am really lucky to be able to have access to medication. Without it, I would not be functioning. I am grateful for each day I manage to enjoy. 60 years ago, I would never have okay days at all and depression would last for years instead of months!
- 350 million people suffer from depression in the world. That means, huge market for the pharmaceutical industry and huge potential profit for private companies. This is much better than if we suffered from a very rare illness for which very little funds were available.... Hence for depression, the pharmaceutical industry spending millions to find treatment more effective than their competitors! If in December, Naurex announces they can alleviate depression in hours instead of weeks, it basically means jackpot for them. So, we're not the only ones to want better treatments and scientists are working on it!
- The feeling of starting to come out of depression is worth all the suffering that's come before.
- This forum shows that others will always be there to share their experience and try to help you.
