Upon reading your article recently about depression, I was frustrated over the biological significance you gave the topic. Depression can be cured. However, it starts from within each individual person affected by depression. By blaming the biology of a person's hormones and brain, your article made depression sound like an illness that affects the body. I, however, believe that depression is a result of the negative thinking and influences in a person's life. In fact, I believe that anti-depressant medication does not work because it is not curing anything. People are buying into the idea of the imbalance of chemicals in their head and getting hooked up on medication for no necessary reason. The people affected by depression are approaching life and its daily happenings with a negative state of mind. They are unable to see the way to change because of the negative judgement that clouds their mind. In fact, the best way to combat depression among people would be to get in touch with their mind. Only by channeling their thoughts, problems, and memories can we really understand what is bothering them and keeping them entrapped in darkness filled corner of their heart. Therefore, the whole biological approach to depression is blasphemous and the best way to approach depression is directly and individually without the help of drugs.
