@Str3tch it literally does

in the case of SAD

I used to have depression years ago

yeah brain inflammation is no good

I can basically vouch that it is physical and not actually psychological

Psychological = physical

i never gave much consideration to the topic

I doubt very seriously that its a purely psychological or neurotransmitter thing

Dosen't matter. Chemical imbalances are unavoidable. Many can only be corrected with medication, and there's no reason why we shouldn't correct them with medication, other than spooky morals.

in fact one of the things that helped me was eating more, eating more protein, drinking water instead of sugar

from my experience

also being social and especially the number one thing...

sleeping more

Because medication has side effects, it's much better to just fix the cause

Anecdotes.

that's my problem, sleep

if you really want to sleep in then do it, and you will feel better

david duke harps about that

I was actually selectively mute when I was 14/15/16 and couldn't even speak to people in public

Weaboo its obviously environmental

To fix your sleep just get enough sunlight during the day

lol

a lot of the people with depression are overwhelmed and exhausted by their daily routines

@Sytze Side effects really aren't that bad and only occur in a few users.

Going outdoors was a huge hassle for me

just look at the depression rates over time

right people aren't getting enough sunlight, working inside all day

if you don't think its largely environmental, you're straight up a retard

and eating like shit

Weaboo is a moody teen who has assimilated his mental dysfunction into his identity because in 2019 it's cool to be a mentally unsound retard in pop culture and there's all sorts of romanticisation of it

some people can be depressed from biological reasons I suppose

this is not a genetic change

but those people are usually mentally unstable anyway

Plus it let's you excuse a lot of your shitty behaviour

and drugs don't really help them

yeah, depressed they have shitty genes

So being unable (unwilling) to resolve your mental illnesses is incentivised because it let's you be a pos basically

and garners empathetic attention from others

depressed genes is a derp idea, depressed people wouldn't pass on their genes

Yeah, okay, just because lifestyle changes can improve symptoms dosen't mean mental illness shouldn't and can't be corrected through other means.

Many bipolar and schizophrenic people rely on medication. No diatary or sleep changes will fix their conditions.

schitzophrenia is something completely different
