Your comment above. Whereby the athletes had an odd thing , IE nothing to depressed about.
If you knew anything about depression as I do( I am not an expert, THERE ARE NONE ) Having everything is very common in people who suffer from depression.
Im sure Egor comes across this a lot in his job.
There are many people, thousands who do well on drugs such as citalopram etc. The way you have generalised the way a doctor hands them out is totally not how a GP goes about prescribing them.
Drugs are prescribed for specific conditions. Certainly not if the cat has died. Get real
Look Daz-H, if Egor really knew his stuff, he wouldn't dismiss the thyroid argument. Since he has, he's denying it as a legitimate cause of depression.

I've said on here before that some people deserve to be depressed, for all the wrong choices they make. Choices they knew were wrong when they made them. Others feel down for things they have no control over. BUT, giving pills out to people so they never have to deal with personal grief just proves what a bunch of wimps we are.

The truth is, life is about ups and downs. You're not supposed to feel good all the time. In fact the dishing out of these happy pills, is the surest way of preventing people from facing their problems, because it produces a sense of achievment in people who haven't earned it.
