No do not seek professional help! Depression and anxiety are signs of health!! It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. People should have a safe place to go mad! Not numb yourself with prescription drugs, or you will never get better

I know I can write a better comment, thanks for the up vote @chbartist. I had this experience where our family let my father have a break-down, it lasted for about 2 weeks. Afterwards he felt better! We were lucky to have such an experience! I think what most people need is to be heard and to be able to talk or communicate, express themselves, then they will not be in need of medication. When my mom was homeless on the street she didn't seek mental help to go on medication until she got hit by a cab at a gas station. Then she remembered the words that I told her - not to be restful towards the family and that we all love her. When she remembered that she decided to go on medication from getting hit by the cab. She is doing better and the medication didn't take too much of her personality away. She had paranoid schizophrenia symptoms through her life. Living through an extreme case like that makes me want to have a society that has more to offer people who are emotionally/mentally disturbed. The system is broken and not able to help troubled people very well, under current social conditions. Pills won't solve the problem, even if it can help some people, we need a more caring society
I understand what you mean @havok777, but for some people it might help, but just like you I do not think we would need it if we were not living in a world of selfish people who do not know what respect, and solidarity means. But at the same time we have to face the reality that is exposed to us every day. I always knew you're a good person. You can count on me. No need to thank me! I always do things with my soul and heart! Regards
Also people being medicated in society is one of the new Opiate Of The People, the other is opium itself. It would be better I think to grit your teeth and rise up rather then take another pill in order to continue to grin and bear it
I can relate to this aspect of the whole mental insanity industry. Anything that deviates from the norm is seen as a threat. The ideal society is that which creates robots. People who go to work, perform their duties, and go home to perform some more.
As an anecdote a bit unrelated, and yet related, when I went to grad school in the state i took my 8-year-old son with me. He did not speak english. He spent some 4 months in a sort of silent state. H e would go to school and come back home and I'd ask him how his days was and what he learned and he would just repeat the same phrase, No se, no entendi nada (I don't know. i did not undertand a thing).
During that time he started becoming the object of bullying. a couple of months later he started to speak fluent english, bette than mine and he became more extroverted and defensive.
One day i was called because he had had a fight during recesss. The fact was that he did not fight, he challenged one of the bullies to a fight to settle their thing and he said out lous all the bad words they have been saying to him.
What was the first recommnedation the teacher gave us? MEDICATION
My son, most likely had a condition, they said.
Of course i gave him no medication. Screw condition. My son was crazy because he had the balls to defend himself and be honest about what's going on.
Wearing a mask every day, trying to be who we are not, suppressing our real feelings all for the sake of conforming to the scripts of society are enough to make us go coocoo.
Then we medicate ourselves till we become dodos, suppressing those emotions even more?
Yes, there are serious mental issues out there and those definitely need some attention.
I completely agree. The mental health industry is still bordering on barbaric, the truth is they don't know what they're doing at all, for all they know they're causing more suicides than they prevent. I've had depression and anxiety most of my life. I've had a lot of doctors and tried quite a few meds throughout the years. The only thing they ever did was make it worse, none of them helped even in the slightest. The times I relapsed back into attempting suicide was always at a time when I was seeing a doctor and getting medication. Best thing I ever did for myself in regards to overcome this terrible illness was realizing there was a massive problem with the world we live in, and also coming to the conclusion that psychology actually makes people sick by making every single human trait a diagnosis if it dosen't conform to what some arbitrary judgment of what they consider "healthy". And when stopped listening to them that is when I stopped worrying about being sick or that there was anything wrong with me, and that made me feel much better. Obviously, it didn't change my life to become some perfect fluffy dream like the ads and facebook would have us believe other people live, but it did at least take one burden off my shoulders that never needed to be there in the first place. We're not meant to live like this, of course we're "depressed", everything everywhere is always telling us we're not good enough after all. Don't you feel motivated to join and work for the sick system that is literally killing everyone on Earth, then you must be sick, what a load of nonsense.
