Let me introduce you to another former Amazonite, formerly known as Katrina, named for the hurricane. He's from the NOLA area. He is a switch-hitter, plays right, then left. Has a plethora of socks. Doesn't much care for women and likes stalking after them with nasty little 7th-grade-girl comments like you just saw. He relishes writing soft porn for the enjoyment of fellow forum members, starring forum women who he has it in for. He loves spankings, golden showers, long walks on the beach, ball gags, and kittens. He especially enjoys discussing Toxic's "B cups" and "tight boyish ass" and "librarian glasses" and "bedroom eyes." Like Toxic, he enjoys disrupting adult discussions with petty feuds. She's happy he's here. Aren't you? lol

Yep. And I've been reading that ECT is being used successfully on people with long-term depression. I think a lower-current procedure.
 
I don't really care so much about depressed people killing themselves except to the extent that it will be someone who isn't depressed to find them generally. Eric Ripert is such a chill guy, the real tragedy is he is the one who had to find him.

Desh...before you can treat it you have to recognize it. That's the hard part about depression. Severely depressed people can put on a public face and persona that leaves people clueless that they are seriously depressed.

Yes.. You're right.. Those who find them ..I wonder if suicides ever think about that.

I have a GF who married a young man and it was a terrible situation.. She came home from the hospital one evening and he had positioned the exterior lights on his chair in the middle of the lawn and blown his brains out..

Same here. It's not 100% effective with everyone. Sometimes it takes years to find what works.

Sometimes it just takes time. When I was diagnosed with clinical depression I received no treatment what so ever. That was probably due to the fact that I was very aware that I was clinically depressed and that when I went to those very, very, very dark places, I didn't take it to seriously. My doctor thought I had my head wrapped around the problem pretty well and that it would just take time to heal, which it did, and he just simply told me to visit him every sixth months and if in between I had feelings of wanting to harm myself to call him promptly.

Interestingly towards the tail end of that time, after a dark period, I went on a vacation, had a lot of fun, met some pretty girls, had a great adventure and when I came back I never slipped back into any dark periods.

My suggestion is pay attention to any friend or family member who is under tremendous stress. Much of depression has no organic origins but is temporary, like mine, and is stress induced, as was mine.

My guess on Bourdain is that he was under tremendous stress and he broke.

My short time dealing with it was caused by medication, once I was off the medication, the depression was gone. I am truly thankful for that.

I could not disagree with you more!!! More often than not with that approach you rob Peter to pay Paul. My advise, having suffered clinical depression, is the exact opposite. Find a good therapist or psychiatrist who is ultra-conservative about prescribing you drugs to treat depression. Self awareness of the problem and knowing when to reach out for help are far more affective than any damned drug. More often that not drugs just make the problem worse.

I have to say it depends on the type of depression. It’s somewhete in between the two.

I think that had a lot to do with my background and education. I just looked at my depression as a black cloud over my head that just wouldn't go away and when I had serious feelings of alienation and abandonment, I knew that was the depression speaking and that I should ignore it.

What is horrible though is how people treat you when you are depressed. You'd think most people are compassionate and understanding. Like fuck they are. When I was depressed people fucking lined up to kick me while I was down. This is a big reason that people won't communicate to others that they suffer from depression because most peoples reaction is not to be helpful but to be purposefully cruel.

I'm healthily skeptical about that. Often the drugs may affectively treat the depression but you still end up trading one problem for another. It's far better to take a conservative approach to see if you can get positive results without drugs first. These days doctors will hand out anti-depressants like they are candy.
