A ship's sailing along in calm waters with a following wind. The crew are very happy with the conditions, because they know their skills fall a bit short when it comes to some of the trickier manoeuvres in dealing with bad weather.
Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, a storm blows up. The crew doesn't have any idea of what to do and simply sail directly into the storm. Once in it, they can't see anything, so they lose their way, not having a clue how to set a proper bearing and stick to it.
Round and round they go within the storm, not knowing where they are, becoming sicker and sicker, and the ship more battered with every wave that hits. They try to do what they think is right, but nothing seems to work. Finally, totally exhausted, they collapse and let the storm do its worst. They manage to remain upright and finally the storm dies down.
Calm returns. Eventually the crew recovers and they sail the ship onwards, although by now it's a battered hulk. So the crew above, (the depressed people), realize they don't know how to take a ship through a storm, (a life crisis or a difficult situation). They haven't learned the skills. Once in the storm, (the depression), they don't know how to set a proper bearing, (work their way out of depression).
Once the storm's over, (life's circumstances change), they decide to learn the necessary skills, (balanced thinking styles, meeting basic needs, etc.).
And the equivalent of using drugs? Pouring oil on troubled waters, of course!
So Why Don't People Talk About Curing Depression Rather Than Controlling It?
The big drug companies are the main ones who fuel the debate over depression, because of their obvious vested interest. They know as well as anyone that drugs don't offer a cure for depression, but the further they can keep this under the table, the better for them.
Drugs can't cure the condition, they can only control the symptoms. The true cure can only happen when a depressed person learns the thought patterns and habits of those who don't suffer from depression. We ourselves have seen already that a treatment such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a highly successful method with a relapse rate many times lower than people have who rely on drugs alone.
That Statement about about the medication you can cure depression without drugs there is enough help and drugs free depression therapy is available that you do not need the risk of medication caused further demage that is already done enough.
