I've also read Greta's descriptions on the cause of feeling unworthy in these stories (abridged for the sake of purposing them here):

- the professional knife sharpener who cuts himself every day

- the grocer who can't build a decent-looking pyramid of cans of green peas

- the toilet cleaner genius, who sees green pee for the first time in his life

- the doctor whose medicine cabinet can't be locked under key

- the illiterate newspaper boy who can't cry out the headlines

- the bus driver with absolutely no sense of directions

- the stinkfoot athlete who can never get a meal big enough to completely quell his appetite and hunger

- the financial adviser who advises all his clients to withdraw all their monies and sew them up in their mattress

- the gynecologist who is a pro-lifer anti-abortion crusader

- my grandmother who wanted to be nothing else ever in life but to be the no. 6 streetcar during rush hour.

Yes, no doubt some people have intrinsic chemical imbalances in their brains, and others develop them from events. Based on the law of averages and expert analyses, some unlucky individuals simply have a physical issue with their brains from the start, or will suffer illness or injury.

Generally sadness and grief - which are not "depression" as such but part of a continuum of downbeat emotions in which depression is an extreme form - are evolved responses that tend to create space or garner support or sympathy for affected individuals. Sometimes we need time alone to sort ourselves out, not feeling up to the hurly burly. Or we may need to give distress signals so that others don't expect us to behave and achieve normally. In a sense it's expectation control. Then there is simply the cry of help due to an inability to cope at the time.

However, when I observe the self-flagellation involved with both my own experiences and in others, I hear echoes of past hurts and attacks, with the associated dynamic of emotional desensitisation as I described above. In the case of an abused girl becoming pointlessly promiscuous or working as a prostitute later in her teens, the desensitisation is not a cure but a band-aid - dealing with the pain as it is now rather than a long term solution; incident handling rather than problem solving.

I don't have any answers as to cures. Maybe care about ourselves and our welfare a little less? Perhaps people would be a little more cheery if they never let themselves forget that, in the Earth's time scales, within a blink of an eye we and everyone and everything that we know and love will die or be destroyed, reduced to minerals and goo, and then reformed into something or someone else? :)

That part about an attempt to garner support--if no support arrives, it seems like it could become self-reinforcing and lead to severe depression. I think depressed people selfishly expect the world to be able to see how much they are suffering, but most other people are actually rather immune to the signals. The depressed person sends out ever stronger, yet still too subtle signals, getting ever more distressed that others are not picking up on them. I know 'selfish' sounds like a harsh way to describe a depressed person. But, that incorrect assessment of the world and their place in it is a huge element of the problem, and they would ironically be happier, as you say, if they could realize they matter less, as expectations could be more easily met at that point.

Leaving out the small percentage of people with serious wiring problems, I think our American lifestyles lead to depression, much as they lead to heart disease and diabetes. We reinforce the physical and mental causes of depression in many ways. We put people in jobs that are repetitive and non-rewarding (see Marx), keep them out of the sun, enable them to avoid exercise, offer them mostly poor food choices. Our culture often values material things over people, and makes people the means rather than the ends. Perhaps most troubling is the unrealistic expectations we put in peoples' minds from an early age, through television and other means. Top it off with the fact that depression sufferers here are likely to be surrounded by enablers who will reinforce the problems, or other depressed or self-absorbed people. You can 'inherit' depression, for sure.

As with heart disease and diabetes, the cures which would probably work best for most people are not medicine. Medicine alone may only mask the symptoms while allowing the causes to continue their work underground. It puts the disease in partial remission without curing it. It is the perfect answer for the physician who wants a speedy, lawsuit-resistant answer that allows him to ring the register each time the prescription must be renewed. And, it allows the sufferer the comfort of avoiding responsibility for either causing or needing to work to cure their ailment.

Real cures for depression would be found in psychotherapy, in really examining the patient's contribution to their suffering and their ability to contribute to the cure. They need to reset their expectations of the world and their place in it to a more rational level to avoid undue disappointment. If I think I should be a 9 and I think I am a 2, then the gap seems too big to overcome. If I realize that maybe I'm really a 4, and it's OK to be a 6, then I might have some hope of reaching my goal. Add exercise, a better diet, owning pets, getting outside, forming connections to others (even helping them instead of worrying about yourself)... These things, I think, would alleviate the symptoms for most people, and make their lives and the lives of those around them better in the process.

I'm not saying medicine is useless or that nobody needs it. I'm only saying it should rarely be the first answer, and most people would be better off with lifestyle and behavior changes. It's terribly difficult for the depressed person to see that they may have caused their own depression, or that they have the power to cure it by their own will, but that is my take. Yes, I have been there and I know how hard it is, but this is the real path out for the long haul, and worth all the effort if you see it through.

Finally, it would help if we could remove the stigma from the problem. People can talk openly about diabetes or some other ailment, but they are likely to keep their depression to themselves, which is exactly what they don't need to do. How comforting would it be for them to talk to others openly about their experiences with depression? "I was depressed, and here is what worked for me, and here is what you need to watch out for at this point", etc.

There is only one possible way that depression can ever be eradicated and that is through love.

Because it is true, I think, that love has the power to overcome any sickness/disorder that afflicts the mind (i.e. the consciousness) of man with suffering.

"Omnia vincit amor" is one of the most famous of all Latin expressions, and it is still popular today in the "altered" form "Amor vincit omnia" There are countless American kids are running about right now with the later phrase tattooed on some part of their body; it basically translates as "Love conquers all" in English.

They're quite close to the truthThough I speak with the tongues of men and of angels ( these kids) but no cigar, I'm afraid.

If you change the word Amor to Caritas, then then you've got it right.

Briefly, the latin term "amor" and its Greek equivalent, "eros" refer to love as an insatiable, selfish desire; in the sense that Elvis Presley used to make all the women at his Las Vegas gigs in the 70s scream wildly when he performed "Burning Love" ( if you remember that Elvis hit). "Amor" and "eros" are basically references to the passionate, romantic, sexual "boy- chases-girl" (or vice versa) kind of Love. Caritas and its Greek synonym "agape" are translated as either charity or love, ( for example in St John's famous phrase: "Deus caritas est" - "God is love", or in the passage from St Paul I will pin onto the end of this post where is is translated as charity ( the theological virtue) and they refer to Love in the sense of it being an act of the selfless giving of one's personal resources ( spiritual, intellectual, emotional, material, etc) to - (and out of a purely altruistic concern for) - the welfare/well being of another person. Caritas is, in short, the kind of Love associated with the teachings and example of Jesus Christ in the Gospels.

Briefly, caritas/agape entails a complete renunciation of the proud or vain or greedy or self-centred ego, and the willing subordination and joyful surrender of this Ego and its capacities - solely for sake of, or, if you like,- in the humble service of-, another's welfare and happiness , especially if the other is a person in some kind of material need or suffering for whatever reason.

Belindi gave an example of some verses of poetry devoted to the theme of love as Caritas/agape and mentioned St Paul Letter to the Corinthians as including another example. I agree.

Finally, in 1 Corinthians 13 Paul places great emphasis on the theological virtue of Charity ( love)...saying : "So Faith, Hope and Love (Charity) remain, these three; but the greatest of these is Love. Paul describes Love/Charity as follows...

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angel and have not charity (Love), I am become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophesy and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity/love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love ( agape/caritas), it profiteth me nothing"............."Love never faileth: but where there be prophesies, they shall fail; where there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect ( i.e. Love) is come, then that which is in part shall be done away".

I think that if all (or most) adult men and women currently living on this planet in 2018 were (hypothetically) to take Paul at his word this very day; if they all agreed, say, to make a genuine commitment to actively begin loving each other ( with the kind love that Paul refers to as agape/caritas; that is, with the same kind Love that Christ exemplified ) then before too long there would be no more depression or suffering of any other kind. All of disvalue, all that was undesirable on this Earth would be swiftly eradicated by the irresistible "power of Love".

You are welcome, young Felix, always keen to help. What you say, though, is akin to running around the block because you are tired. That just makes you more tires. The idea is to become existentially fit! Hup hup! Work off those flabby beliefs and get yourself a sleek, six-pack paradigm, lad!

So you need to keep working out - every time you see someone you love, imagine them decomposing in the ground, when you enjoy beautiful art, rest assured it will be reduced to its component molecules at some stage. Those molecules too will break into atoms and eventually all the atoms will break apart under the influence of dark energy. This emotional inoculation helps keep one from being quite so freaked out when the inevitable deaths, destruction - and then recycling :)

The last bit is the cause for optimism. Generally speaking, replacements for dead things have been an upgrade, thus the Earth is no longer controlled by trilobites or dinosaurs.
