MSC Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 On 6/12/2022 at 3:53 PM, iNow said: I’ve been hearing a lot lately about strategic use of ketamine with seriously good results, but that’s clearly pharmaceutical. Similar positive results are being had with psilocybin (of the magic mushrooms variety) under guided conditions. All the energy for depression that’s otherwise resistant to standard treatment, however, appears to be with ketamine according to my various neuroscience feeds. I've heard the strategic use of not being a hostile cunt to people can also work wonders. So perhaps if you would learn to shut up and stop hounding people with mental health issues, stop being so brutal, stop edgelording and stop gaslighting people when people rightly question your motives some progress could be made. -4

dimreepr Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) I think one of the main reasons for societies increasing numbers of depression is, we are encouraged to believe we're special and that if we aren't "the best we can be" we fail, full stop. That somehow our parents are automatically imbued with parental love/obligation and if not, my none-specialness is their fault. I think it's important to forgive us for being human; kryptonian's can just fuck off... 11 hours ago, NTuft said: Cold read: Psyilocybin. Amantia Muscaria.

'because I have caught enough fish for the day' But what about tomorrow? Personally I'd go out and catch enough fish for tomorrow today. But then I would not do as the industrialist suggests in fear of expending all resources and missing out on smelling the roses during the journey rather than leaving it to the end.

If anyone knew anything about depression, it was Spike Milligan. And if you read it a bit more carefully, you'll see that he's advising the WORLD to smile, not offering trying to smile as a cure to those who are depressed. Quote wikipedia : " He had bipolar disorder for most of his life, having several serious mental breakdowns, several lasting over a year.[57][58] He spoke candidly about his condition and its effect on his life: " If Spike said it, it's probably good advice.

Telling someone to smile, or to relax, is not dealing with depression I think it fundamentally answers the OP, any treatment for depression that doesn't involve medication has to be communicated and for that we need a common language and what better place to start; a smile may not be the answer (I seldom get angry with a smile on my face), but it is a step on the path...
Intoscience Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 "Telling" anyone to do anything is not a good approach for someone suffering with depression. Best to subtly/tactfully suggest or gently encourage rather than telling. The key is to get the person to realise for themselves in their own way, so they feel like they have made a positive decision for themselves or others close to them. Tricky when they currently feel like everything is pointless.
