A chronically depressed person is in a downward spiral where the weight of the disorder in itself alone can keep the person down or push him in even further. The person is drained of energy and sense of purpose, so even if it was in theory completely doable, it is not in effect possible for him to turn the situation around.<BR/><BR/>In some cases, processing issues (discussing) can help, but often it's not enough. I feel the only way to recover is to somehow turn the balance of life for the better. This can happen, if by some bizarre coincidence a depressed person hits off with a nice boy/girl, starts going to a great school/job, etc, but these are a lot less likely to happen than to healthy people.<BR/><BR/>Drugs can, in some cases, give that needed lift. There's only a need to break the vicious circle; if the person is cured, the pills are no longer needed to stay healthy. Afterwards a person can see the previous condition for what it actually was, which during depression is an impossibility, and is then wiser for the experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
