Hey Caroline, thank you so much for reading my blog and giving such an in-depth and balance reply.
My blog does acknowledge the existence of depression and does prompt those who need to talk about it to reach out.
Hey Caroline, thank you so much for reading my blog and giving such an in-depth and balance reply. I can tell you’re a good person.
My blog does acknowledge the existence of depression and does prompt those who need to talk about it to reach out.
However you also need to acknowledge that people abuse its broad array of symptoms to obtain a diagnosis that may not be correct. Either to take sick-leave from a job they hate, or to explain the way they’re feeling without addressing external factors. They MAY be feeling bad because they’re eating bad, or not sleeping much (because they’re on their iphone until 2am in the morning) …. It’s human nature for some people to play the system.
This does not exclude nor demonise the people who genuinely suffer despite addressing these things.
But it’s also human nature for people to self-diagnose from a list of symptoms found on google that encompass an awful lot, you’d have to agree.
This blog is for those looking to help themselves before self-diagnosing their mental state, just incase it’s not clinical.
My solutions are 100% backed and even endorsed by medical professionals (who will tell a patient the same thing about diet and exercise to potentially improve their symptoms.)
I’m sorry to hear you’re a sufferer, and I wish you the best. We don’t disagree as such, we just have two different approaches. My approach is to address the people who are incorrectly self-diagnosing and not addressing external factors like diet, exercise, changing the job or relationship that’s getting them down etc…. Your approach is to speak to the people who have done all that (Flaxseed oil is a great tip) and might genuinely have this mental health issue. So I appreciate your comment. We are two sides of the same coin.
Have a great day,
