IMO depression is for the weak minded and weak willed. Lots of people have bad days, falls on hard times and suffers tragedies in their lives. It takes a strong person to overcome life's hardships.
Okay, I'll buy that.Not right in their mind isn't equal to crazy.I think the theory is that man shouldn't be taking the power of life and death into his own hands. I don't think suicide necessarily means one is "crazy".
So while you don't think suicide shoulb be a sin you still think it is wrong.
Say's who? Some drug company?
It's bullshit that weak minded people feed into.

You can cite as many people as you like it will not change my opinion. Too many people rely on the gullible among you to buy into their silly claims so they can profit from it. They create a new disorder to sell whatever new drug that comes along. They've been doing it for years and you people keep buying what they're selling.
Thanks for admitting you're one of the weak minded.
And around 100+ years ago, many believed diabetes was caused by masturbation.......
Then it wouldn't be unreasonable to believe that depression isn't necessarily caused by some chemical imbalance.
Mental illness, depression, and anxiety are real and are rampant in our society. It has nothing to do with "being weak minded". We live in a depressed, anxiety ridden country. Why is that? Says something doesn't it.

No, it is not necessarily a chemical imbalance, that's only one postulation based on known imbalances that can be attributed to other "mental illnesses." Some people are predisposed to depression and substance abuse and we've been looking for answers to that problem for decades. The "weak minded" argument is, and always has been, a simplistic cop out explanation presented by the uneducated, "everyone is like, or should be like me" crowd. That's the explanation of a weak mind.

Clinical depression is not a matter of being weak willed.
If nothing else, this should show you that. One of the funniest men in the world couldn't cheer himself up.
No, real depression is a matter of brain chemistry.

In other words, you don't care about scientific evidence, medical research, and years of clinical testing. You are sticking with your opinion that it is about being weak. lol
You keep believing what you want. I'll stick with the scientific explanations.

It might. Unless there was actual scientific research showing a difference in brain chemistry and that the imbalances cause certain reactions.

Not buying into the bullshit that depression is a mental illness is weak minded? Then I'll happily be weak minded while the rest of you suffer with your delusions.

Why would he resort to drugs and then ultimately kill himself if he wasn't weak.

Assuming the research is correct and accurate.
So many times we have been told things that was later shown to be false.

Having read your posts for the last 5 years, I don't think you put much stock into anything brain related.You can cite as many people as you like it will not change my opinion.

I don't buy into research by those that seek to profit.
I don't take much stock into the science of the brain either.
Yes that is my opinion.

Gee Robin, we wish to be in your place and to live as you have..but we don't, and we don't kill ourselves over it...

His brain told him things were hopeless. His illness made seeing a way out impossible.
Is autism just weakness? Is Downs Syndrome just weakness? Is schizophrenia just weakness?
The brain is an organ with chemical reactions powering all it's functions. Any slight imbalance in those chemicals causes major changes. To try and claim that willpower will overcome it is simply inaccurate. It is like claiming that a diabetic is weak if he cannot control his blood sugar.
A lot of artists and highly creative / brilliant people in general.No, it is not necessarily a chemical imbalance, that's only one postulation based on known imbalances that can be attributed to other "mental illnesses."

I have read that depression is anger turned inward. I have also read many comedians suffer from depression and disproportionately so.
