Depression and one skeptics story
Chris Rose of the Times-Picayune, never believed in depression. He thought you could just snap out of the blues. Until he suffered from it himself. Read a very moving account of one persons story to accept depression and most of all get help. Without antidepressants, he wouldn’t be alive.
Before I continue this story, I should make a confession. For all of my adult life, when I gave it thought — which wasn’t very often — I regarded the concepts of depression and anxiety as pretty much a load of hooey.
I never accorded any credibility to the idea that such conditions were medical in nature. Nothing scientific about it. You get sick, get fired, fall in love, get laid, buy a new pair of shoes, join a gym, get religion, seasons change — whatever; you go with the flow, dust yourself off, get back in the game. I thought anti-depressants were for desperate housewives and fragile poets.
I no longer feel that way. Not since I fell down the rabbit hole myself and enough hands reached down to pull me out.
