DEALING WITH DEPRESSION

No word in the English language conjures up more fear and hopelessness than “depression.” Not even the words “war” or “death” strike such absolute and inevitable chords because, as grim as they may sound, there are ways of depicting war and death in an amusing manner. Comics from Charley Chaplin to Monty Python have done it.

The word depression is automatically attached to almost every unpleasant act or experience, even through the event may be natural or unavoidable. Friends, family, and care providers are quick to raise the specter of the illness at the drop of a hat.

The word depression has become so ubiquitous that it crops up in situations where it is completely un-called-for. For instance, sports commentators describing a football or baseball game will, for lack of a more sensible comment, describe an athlete as “looking depressed.”

It is not surprising that people with ordinary problems quickly and lamentably associate with the word depression, personalizing to the point that they seek and assume its identity—instead of dealing with the situation or incident at hand as if it were a normal, albeit annoying or painful, incident.

This internal bedrock leaves us in constant anticipation and fear of suddenly being struck down by any potential contrary force—even nature—and ending up depressed

In fact, America suffers from the highest incidence of depression of any country in the world, topping off the list with 9.6% of the population experiencing bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder or chronic minor depression over the course of a year.

Having been force-fed depression, it has become a constant preoccupation among Americans, and little wonder—as tens of millions of us are diagnosed and willingly labeled depressed human beings every year.

Are you one of those people? Are you on anti-depressants? And do you believe that depression is an incurable disease?

In my new book, "Depression - 'It Doesn't Exist", a guide to understanding, preventing, and curing depression, which flies in the face of everything Americans have been led to believe about depression (that it is a psychological-biological-chemical illness that must be treated with anti-depressants) I present what is the lone hope for millions of ill-advised people being swallowed up in the sea of despair and drugs.

My experience, research, and success with dealing with depression over a 40 year period - without drugs - is well documented.  If you need help with the problem  - it's available.  Call me at (206) 284-3131 and arrange for a free office consultation.
