I have MDD and I have been taking medication now for around 5 years. This has really explained to me why I am still mentally depressed all the time, but I don’t FEEL depressed as much or at all. ….i haven’t done any psychological work at all. I’ve learned helplessness several years ago, if not a decade or more but I didn’t know the word for it until now. Also, that I constantly live in a melancholic mindset. I get boosts of happiness and I can appreciate beauty in life, but there is no denying the dark abyss or how I view life in general. There is a song with a lyric that says “in the space between where hell and heaven look the same.” I feel that all the time. Anyways, full disclosure, I take Prozac and Wellbutrin. For better or for worse. There are side effects that I don’t enjoy, but it’s better than the emotional pit of depression I dealt with prior. Thanks for reading.
By far the best lecture on depression that I have ever heard. The fixating on some horrid thing you did twelve years ago. The structural engineer imagining the corridor had shrunk. The psychomotor retardation and the danger at the comeback. Someone I know was deeply destabilized by MAOIs.
I had depression for many years. When I started learning how to self, reflect and accept consequences in which I earned for my actions, and I’m Pickin to learn how to reason with peoples actions, and why they do what they do. My depression melted right away.
I was in depression for many days (years), the burning sensation in my middle of head is my everyday experience, Till now a small event of bad experience gives me hard hit of sorrow, but what I can say by my experience that the Depression could be overcome by connection with information and self-analysis. An Spiritualist said that you can't find peace of mind because chaos (conflict ) is the mind, you must rest beside the mind,, another thing is that you must realize that you want to be filled with something even that is sadness , because when you become empty mind that gives you a lack of presence in the world , there for you want to grebe subjects and hold them to get the sense of presence or an experience of your universe ,, in every micro second you are creating solution for your problem and the solution is becoming a new problem - that's the depression is and that is the mental retardation is.God bless you who are in depression and reading the comment 😀😃😄😅😂
I'm your depression brother 😂, I'm 60 now. He said it's a biochemical disorder !!!BIOCHEMICAL is the key word. I was in a vegetable state !, because of eating vegetables. Now I only eat 20%fatty meat, heart, liver, eggs(3 a day), fish, drink water, that's all. 0 carbohydrate (sugar), all plants+fruit contain carbs and natural poison. I'm on CARNIVORE diet now. My paranoia skizofreni has left me, I'm normal today 🤗🥳😎💪🏼. Another cure is keto cure, it's good too. on Keto you can eat some vegetables, but only the good one's!. He's wrong on winter depression, it's lack of D vitamines. Sure bad experiences, as being bullied, rape, bad family, etc. also give depression , but you become stronger if you eat human primary food. Vegetables+fruit is secondary food source for humans. Vegetables & fruit are converted to carbs=sugar in the stomach. you can live of potatoes etc. but potatoes gives weaker body and weaker mental conditions. Mostly because lack of vitamines ! & Sugar is VERY bad for the body. I like this guy a lot, learn from him, but he's wrong on somethings, as mentioned above. Comments on my comment are very welcome both positive & negative ❤.
Depression is not just psychological and not only neurological but is it defect in hardware of biology as well as defect in brain chemcal,neurotransmitters it is also a heredity and genetics. A poor diet and lack of nutrients is also ond of the factor of depression. Just because we still live in medieval 2.0 era that dosen't mean it is just psychological. There is no seprate consciousness its all physical and mechanical. It dosen't matter if you like this fact or not. It is almost same like if we have defects in hardware of computer some software will get corrupt and go haywire and not work properly.
@@ThomasMayer123-f8f It's seeing life in a way without so many chemical impulses bombarding your senses. Without the energy for your brain to pursue survival. So your inner monologue creates a narrative, just like every other narrative it has created. There's no seeing life as it really is. When you're depressed, you've simply lost all direction from your biological machine, and you are left with rumination.
@@thenacregod iam trying not to. I will try. But since it is just noise and nihilism i can do whatever I want like Spam 100 times. 🤣 no iam kidding Beacuse I never spammed or spammed same comments multiple time. All I just did is commenting on and asking questions in your few posts. Is that what you call spamming? No it isnt.
Why is it a "harsh reality" to lack choice or control? The only harshness that I can see arising would be from expecting it to be otherwise. It would be nice, in a fairy tale way, to be the captains of our fate, and losing the illusion that we are in charge seems to be a step down, but that's only a seeming, because we never were in the position we may think we have lost. On the plus side, accepting a complete lack of control lifts a heavy (though illusory) weight of responsibility off our shoulders, and this is not harsh.
I'll give you a specific example. Your girlfriend is pregnant and you are unemployed and broke at age 19. Understanding that raising a child costs money, you suggest that she get an abortion with the understanding that it is her choice to make. You do not have the choice to get an abortion because you are not pregnant. However, she chooses to give birth and goes on welfare. The state makes the incredulous and meticulously crafted judgement that despite being unemployed, you have the ability to pay. When you don't pay because your government chose to recover money for the girlfriend who chose to have a baby on welfare, you go to jail. Not a fairy tale. And if we're being completely reductive (delusional), such that no one ever has a choice in any deterministic event, then yes, your pretty little argument that anyone who does anything is allowed to do so is correct. However this does not work in a world where OTHER PEOPLE are allowed to influence YOUR LIFE with the choices they make in theirs. The responsibility and authenticity carried by our individual actions is not a hallucination by virtue of being separable from society. Nor is it sufficient to profess an archetype of a false fairytale as an ideal lifestyle of impotent self regurgitation.
@@howwitty The 'not a fairy tale' situation you describe is harsh. As is depression (as a former sufferer). But I think you are missing the point of @bgalbreath's comment.
@@sbwetherbe I'm not. I acknowledged the concept of harshness in the op terms. My point was not that lacking choice would not be fantastic; I basically concede that point, I'm not a sadist.
if you're not in control, you're a victim. even if "free will" doesn't exist, you might still be determined to not enjoy the feeling of being a victim. you might still be determined to attempting to change your situation just to be able to survive, even if the concept of "free will" did not influence your feelings of being a victim in any way. (I hope the grammar is correct, English is not my native language)
Its only been confirmed ten fold over that we only get deterministic order after atoms phase changes take place. Hard to accept nothingness Is absolute logic fully informed non locality on smallest scales that what happens here effects there. That once emerging order of many different tiny package of energy form mrna/ dna in full of knowledge about all it can ever be yet still unaware although 90% in out needs cellular networking logistically data gathered from environment thru body back to dna to then mutate or decay how it see fit . That we break away giving rise consciousness by a stochastic dualistic brain hemisphere prenticious clocklike view paradolia of mind longs for order but is deaf dumb and blind ignoring the sea of decay or how it triangulates with thermodynamical, fluidlike dynamics and its electrodynamical measure encoded defibrillator of life. Xyz manmade time hierarchy knowledge of good evil equations We've known it 500 years its only strengthened.
Of course not. They just wait for nameless critics to imply there is some sort of special knowledge which the nameless critics possess, which would solve the problems the scientists have so naively tried to address by applying education, research and experimentation. Because helpful people with good intentions and proven solutions find it necessary or useful to insult those who try to apply science to solving problems, without demonstrating a better approach, backed by evidence.
@@imperfekt7905 Science is not ethical today. Science is sponsored, therefore directed on a particular path. There is a lot of knowledge that scientists do not consider, and do what Einstein did as well: they introduce their own "cosmological constant" to prove their rights.
He's one of the most respected neuroscientists in the world. It's easy to complain that scientists are sometimes wrong. It's hard to do the work that enables them to be right much of the time. Depression is a problem that is often badly misunderstood by people who haven't experienced it. At least scientists are trying to help. If they can't improve someone's life, at least they are trying. Sometimes they succeed, and every time that happens, it can save someone's life.
