You fags are fighting about the wrong thing.

No one is questioning the validity of pharma, the antagonist was simply saying that changing your habits, learning new skills and distancing yourself from the life that doesn’t make you happy should fulfill and satisfy your human urges that are to not be a cog in the machine thus making antidepressants unnecessary to achieving happiness.

This doesnt pull people out of many types of depression, as its a chemical imbalance in the brain. In fact most people with depression arent going to be able to muster up enough energy to actually do that.

Nobody is jumping up and down looking to be dependent on a drug to live, but if you have gotten to a point where you have went to get help, you most likely do need them.
And they all work in different ways, so yes you do need to go round the carousel till you find what works.

People who spout garbage have never experienced anything like it and have no scope to ever understand.

I think a lot of the cases of depression are brought about by peoples implicit understanding that theyre mortal, and the inability to form any sort of psychological defense against that realization. Without some sort of defense against it the only thing thats left to you is nihilism, whether you consciously recognize that or not doesnt matter, its the only logical outcome, and its always gonna be drifting about in the back of your subconscious.

Regardless, IMO its not a good or healthy thing to try and dissuade people from getting help, especially from people who have never experienced it first hand. We need to get rid of the social stigma of mental health issues.

Ive held a shotgun barrel in my mouth, and would've pulled the trigger had everything not suddenly got brighter and I felt a soothing presence with me. The inability to deal with death played a huge role in my immature reasoning for suicide. I dont doubt that this is true for a lot of people. Its some heavy shit to deal with, and totally negates all this do your best shit that people are constantly fed. Even if these battles dont crop up consciously, theyre still raging subconsciously in the background.

How can anyone feel motivated to do anything worthwhile if they know in the back of their minds that they and everyone they love are going to die anyways.

These are things people gotta deal with in a constructive manner, society doesnt offer that to anyone, back in the day religion used to fill that role, but it doesnt any longer.

st. john's wort and a cocktail of supplements were the closest thing to "life changing" for me and they really didn't do much.
i am not going to claim that this is the solution for everyone, but i've had very hardcore mental illnesses including depression for much of my life and getting off my ass and trying harder did work.
obviously this doesn't mean "stop watching tv/anime, stop playing video games, stop browsing various social-oriented websites, stop eating trash, and start lifting and running" cold turkey, but if you think that's impossible (or if you quickly resort to "that won't help" when proven otherwise) you are flat out wrong.
it's honestly not an intricate, complex answer, but it proves to be very difficult to maintain a lifestyle of quality for long enough for it to take effect.
i stopped consuming any added sugars and starchy foods (white bread, potatoes..), without ever getting on the fake sweeteners bandwagon, save for the occasional cup of licorice root tea. i started squatting, lifting, biking, and sprinting DAILY, and i stopped watching media pretty much ever, and it _worked_ for several of my problems. the one that it did not completely solve was residual schizophrenia, and there's not much that really can fix that.

as far as theoretical implications, i personally believe dopamine inhibition intolerance leads to your mind playing through life like a game. explaining it in more detail would require me to say things that have absolutely no experimental basis whatsoever, so i'll quit while i'm ahead.

I once had the most beautiful spalted oak burl you could imagine, about 8" dia and 9" high, flat on the bottom and carved into towers and crags all over the top, serious Elven Middle Earth shit.

I wanted to make a present for my junkie bitch ex so I carefully drilled out three candle holders deep in the spires and crags, added candle spikes at the bottom and spent 3 days stabilizing, varnishing and polishing that thing till it looked like an eldritch jewel.

Then I decided to test it out with three candles

Buddy, don't fall for the psychiatrists jew tricks. They just want you money and prescribe you garbage. Antidepressants are less than 5% more effective than placebo. They are only approved by the FDA because they are considered safe (not because they are effective in fixing depression.) The only way you will fix your depression is if you improve yourself. Stop looking for some magic drug. There isn't one.

not OP but this is decent advice. as a caveat I would say that there are times in my life when this genuinely helped me. there were other times when it didn't, or when trying harder just made me more exhausted.

so if any of you try this - really try it for several months or as long as you can keep it up - and it doesn't work for you, don't beat yourself up over it. there are other ways, sometimes they just take some time. sometimes it's a matter of spending a year or so reassessing your ideas about life. sometimes that doesn't work either, sometimes meds don't work, sometimes nothing really does a lot and you just have to ride it out and do your best while your brain picks its underwear out of its asscrack. the more little improvements you make to yourself and your life, the easier it'll be in the long run even if it doesn't seem like it now. the most important /diy/ project you can ever work on is yourself.

>as its a chemical imbalance in the brain
With a few exceptions psychiatric medicine is purely experimental and diagnosis purely by observation of behaviour.

There are a few mental illnesses caused by measurable biological processes, but for most cases the very best they can do is find some weak correlations in MRI features for people with similar behaviour (but not strong enough to be useful in diagnosis or predict response to medicine).

The problem with people that struggle with depression is that they're stuck in a harmful way of thinking. They fell for the modernity Jew and see the world and human life as just chemistry and physical laws, and this is the cause of their depression. But when someone suggests that to feel better they should change something in their lifestyle and way of thinking, they get angry and and again see the only solution as more chemistry - in this case antidepressants. And don't say that people who shit on you are "ignorant" of what it's like to be depressed. Chances are most of them had the same problems, but managed to overcome them without drugs, unlike your bitch ass

Pick a good cut from a good species, sand or plane smooth, then use wood finish like varathane or similar.
Sand gently and wipe dust clean between coats, because you will notice after the 1st coat that some wood fibers lift away from the wood surface and those need to be sanded down.
