    You don't have to defend yourself and your actions, Pamela. Everyone capable of reading could see that she was just stirring shit up and got what was coming to her. Besides, we all know you're the last person in the world who would intentionally harass someone on here.

    Thanks, but i have had my problems with others here in the past, but realize they are MY problems. Being human we have emotions that get the best of us..Lol.

    You're right, i wont (as far as i know) harrass a person on the forums. I have been called out before and acted like a fool, behind the scenes. It's no fun and i take no pleasure in it.

    The main problem here is that there are different causes for depression so one size doesn't fit all.

    It's analogous to say weight gain and hypo-thyroidism. Weight gain is the symptom (i.e., in this case analogous to "Depression" which is the symptom of a problem) for which there are multiple causes, of which one is hypo-thyroidism. Depending on your cause, you might be able to do something about weight gain using alternative methods (e.g., eat less, exercise more), or you might not (e.g., even with reasonable exercise and diet control, still gain weight). If the underlying problem is that your body is not manufacturing enough thyroid, alternative treatments may keep one's weight down (the symptom) but never actually address the cause (hypo-thyroidism), and the person may literally be starving themselves and still not have success. In this example hypo-thyroidism is analogous to hypo-serotonin in the brain and it's relationship to depression.

    There may be some things one can do to boost thyroid naturally. Likewise there are some things one can do to boost serotonin naturally. But just because one person can boost a bodies chemical naturally and sufficiently for them, doesn't necessarily mean that EVERYONE can do so natural. See it depends. It depends on how far off normal the individual's body chemistry is.

    The fundamental problem though is that when Person A says "I did it naturally" and implies or states other's can too, it is a nice ego boost for Person A, but likewise it is insulting to Person B. Worse, Person A really doesn't know the specifics of Person B's body/brain chemistry; the details of Person B's underlying cause. There is nothing wrong with noting that some people can and do overcome symptoms "naturally". There is something wrong with assuming that just because some can, that ALL other people can too.

    What is unfortunate is that we still don't have good tests to measure brain chemistry. If we did, a lot of the debate about when to prescribe drugs would be put to rest. For example, we do have tests to measure Testosterone levels. Men with low testosterone experience real and severe symptoms, and those with very low levels simply cannot boost their levels sufficiently using "natural" or "alternative" methods. Hormone replacement therapy works for them because it addresses the cause of their symptoms. There is also a lot less debate about over prescribing drugs because Testosterone levels can be measured.

    So lacking these tests, I think it's best to give people the benefit of the doubt for now. In the future when we have better tests, chances are physicians won't be prescribing meds for depression (e.g., SSRI's) if the tests show normal brain chemistry levels (at least not if the person is not also in therapy to deal with their underlying cause). Until then though? We simply can't know what other people are going through. We have to give them the benefit of doubt.

    tsk, Im not going to get into a debate.
    When I say I got better by using alternatives of course it means others can too. Im not suggesting the method I used method will work for 100% of people but there are plenty of different kinds of alternatives and the fact that there are different types of depression and causes is taken into account. I think its definatly worth everyones while to keep that in the back of their minds. Some people may not be interested now, but downtrack who knows where it might come in handy.

    It doesnt hurt anyone to make the effort to research alternatives. Most people are not aware of them or automaticly assume that alternatives when it comes to mental health are hogwash, so I dont think I personally am insulting anyone - Im not. its more likely that the majority of people concerned with this issue will think Im talking bollocks. But for the few people who are genuinely interested my 2 cents worth may make a difference.

    No one should feel insulted by being told they can feel better - its awful to think that one is always going to have to live with the feeling of feeling depressed for the rest of your life! Personally I dont think it doesn anyone any good to stay within that mindset. Positive thinking is better than negitive thinking any day of the week.
    If the drugs aint working and havent worked for a long time if at all then my advice is try something else either in conjunction with them or without. Search, search, search to find as much information as you can, its worth it!

    Yup. I had VERY bad depression/anxiety for years where I couldn't leave the house and drugs made me worse. What ended up working in the end? More hobbies, a diet change and finding new ways to overcome my social anxiety through positive thinking. My tattoo teacher would always tell people, "PMA PMA!" and he's right. Positive mental attitude can do so much, as can re-focusing your thoughts. I know as much as anyone how hard it is to overcome that negativity but it can be done. You just have to find what works for you. Sometimes it's not always doping yourself full of pills that create other symptoms. This thread isn't really about that though, so I'll stop here. Just count me as a +1 and I hope you find the way out, Cameron.

    What if your box is full when you get pointed though?

    ETA: Okay, that was a dumb question but I really am curious. My box is always full. I could have points and not even know it!
