This is such a good article! Thank you! For so many years, I’ve believed this as well. I’ve only been clinnically depressed once. I reached out to a therapist on campus. I was newly married and so lonely I could hardly breathe.

I met with him. He prescribed and SSRI without even talking to me, stating that he would see me and talk to me after two weeks on it. Not until then.

Needless to say, I managed on my own through that hellish time. I survived, barely. But that interaction taught me a lot.

Going through a terrible divorce, my teenage daughters have struggled with depression. The naturopath we work with is addressing more dopamine issues than anything else. I found that interesting.

Thanks for this article. It really got me thinking!!
