The Causes and Cures of Depression
* Biology - Antidepressants - we aren’t here for this, and this isn’t medical advice or treatment
* Psychology - Certainly therapy can help with mood and ordinary depression, but most therapy is “gender neutral” - what works for a woman is supposed to work for a man. This only goes so far - not far for many men, and nowhere at all for Depresculinity™, or male “melancholia.” We will make this simple, and furthermore...
* Stress/Social/Decisions - YOU will need to do some things, including going from “boy thinking,” to “man thinking.”
* Antidepressants are generally about 30% effective.
* Antidepressants + “therapy” are about 60% effective (0% for Depresculinity™.)
* ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) is about 90% effective (0% for Depresculinity™ unless you count memory loss.)
* A recent study supported Light Therapy - exposure to light - as possibly as effective as antidepressants if done in great amounts.
* “Melancholia” was taken out of the psychiatric lexicon, and may be reinserted - “uncurable depression” - I think it IS curable, because it is based in GENDER. Being MALE.
The masculine and feminine instincts are why men and women don't see eye-to-eye on these items. The instincts are invisible, and now they matter more than ever in this time of conflict.
They are also the driving force behind how men and women are decidedly different in ways when it comes to psychology and behavior.
There's much to learn about men and their psychology, and as you can see, men and women can't live without each other, and to find happiness, they must learn to understand each other better.
