Q&A: If a Human Was Never Exposed to the Term “depression” ,Would There Be ANY Probibility to Need Chemicals for It

Question by Donald C: if a human was never exposed to the term “depression” ,would there be ANY probibility to need chemicals for it
i acknowledge that people get and are born ill. the word ill meanong anything not considered healthy, either physical or mental. also, i acknowledge that some people need help as they are not as able as others to handle certain situations. and some people, experience more difficult situations than others, either of the extemes could be paired with the other. my hypotheses is, if no one ever knew or considered :depression” as a treatable ‘disease’, then maybe, people would be forced to look else where to fell better. maybe by getting emotional support instead of medicinal support. this outcome however, would cost the political industy and therefore economy, a great amount of adjustment. i wonder what, if anything, could be done to raise awareness of alternatives to DRUGS! which by the way, hasnt our country declared war on drugs?

I largely agree. Consider the culture of 80 years ago. World wars, economic catastrophe, 18-hour work days — and not so many antidepressants flying off the shelves. People simply did what needed to be done, and they lived their lives. No whining, no feeling sorry for themselves — there was no time for that because there was work to be done. We could use a big fat shot of that right about now.

Good point.
